Great, useful and simple to use

  • As the title says, it’s a great plugin for quick and easy website translation. The only minor problem is, if you change ANYTHING in the original text, the translation is gone.

    Update:
    E.g. I was working on the website, and I remember I wanted to fix a space missing between the words. I updated the page and forgot about the translation! Checked a day after I made those changes, and indeed, poof, the translation was gone. But there already was a saved translation, so retrieving that translated text was a matter of one click. Excellent feature!

    Hi,

    First, we thank you for your 5-stars review.

    Secondly, yes, any change of the original string will invalidate the front-end translation as they are directional.
    This is how our plugin works because we save each translation in the database. Every string has a corresponding translation. If you change the original string, basically, you create a new string that will need to be translated. The translations remain saved in the database, but will not be displayed as soon there is basically other original string there.

    To facilitate translation retrieval we implemented the Translation Memory* feature.
    For example, if you have a string in your default language that is translated and you go in and modify that string, the translations for it won’t appear anymore at the front-end level but will continue to exist in wp_trp_* tables from your database. After, if you go to the translation interface and select that string, the Translation Memory feature will show you translation suggestions for that string (based on other strings that you have translated, even the ones which don’t appear anymore in the front-end; so most likely, you will see the older translation as the first suggestion).

    *The translation memory is approximate, based on what strings are in the database. It’s possible sometimes to work 100%.

    Thank you for the thorough explanation! As I wrote, it is only a minor problem. I was working on the website, and I remember I wanted to fix a space missing between the words.
