Here’s something nobody tells you when you set up TranslatePress for the first time:
Pluginnet er fremragende til at lagre translations. It’s not built to generere them — at least not across your entire site simultaneously.
Out of the box, the standard workflow looks like this: open a page in the TranslatePress editor, click auto-translate, wait, move to the next page, repeat. If you have 50 posts, 10 landing pages, a WooCommerce catalog, and a few custom post types? You’re looking at hours of repetitive clicking — just to get a first draft of translations in place.
That’s the gap SkyTranslate Bulk Translate blev bygget til at udfylde.
This guide walks you through the complete process: setting up TranslatePress correctly, installing SkyTranslate, and triggering a full-site bulk translation in a few clicks — with every page, post, and custom content type translated automatically in the background.
Hvorfor det er et reelt problem at oversætte et TranslatePress-websted side for side
Before getting into the solution, it’s worth understanding why this is such a almindeligt smertepunkt for WordPress-ejere og webbureauer.
TranslatePress is one of the best multilingual plugins available. It stores translations in your own database (no dependency on third-party servers), integrates with Google Translate and its own AI engine, and renders translated content in a live front-end editor that’s actually pleasant to use.
Men auto-oversættelsesfunktionen i TranslatePress har én grundlæggende begrænsning: den fungerer side for side. You open the editor, hit “Translate Page,” wait for the process to finish, close, navigate to the next page, and start again.
For a site with 20 to 200+ pieces of content — which is typical for a business site or agency client — this is a serious workflow bottleneck. Even at two minutes per page, translating 100 pages across 18 languages isn’t a one-click task. It’s days of work.
Hvad bureauer og webstedsejere faktisk har brug for:
- Se alt uoversat (eller delvist oversat) indhold på ét sted
- Vælg alt med et enkelt afkrydsningsfelt
- Start oversættelsen og gå din vej
- Kom tilbage til et fuldt oversat websted
That’s exactly what SkyTranslate delivers.
Hvad er SkyTranslate Bulk Translate?
SkyTranslate Bulk Translate is a free WordPress plugin built specifically as a companion tool for TranslatePress. It adds a bulk translation dashboard to your WordPress admin — a centralized interface where you can see the translation status of every post, page, and custom post type on your site, then translate all of them at once using Google Translate.
Nøglefunktioner:
- Viser alt indhold med oversættelsesstatus pr. sprog (Udført, Delvis %, eller Uoversat)
- Understøtter massevalg af alt uoversat eller delvist oversat indhold
- “Auto Translate Selected” button triggers translation across all selected posts simultaneously
- “Skip already translated languages” option prevents overwriting completed work
- Fungerer med alle 18+ sprog konfigureret i TranslatePress
- Henter TranslatePress-versionen af hver side før oversættelse, så masseoversættelsesresultaterne forbliver på linje med, hvad editoren viser
Pluginnet er bygget af Sky Plugins og fungerer sammen med den gratis version af TranslatePress, uden at der kræves en betalt API-nøgle til Google Translate-integrationen.
Trin 1: Installer og konfigurer TranslatePress
Before SkyTranslate can do anything, TranslatePress must be installed and your target languages need to be set up. If you’ve already done this, skip to Step 2.
Installer TranslatePress
- Gå til Plugins → Add New i dit WordPress-dashboard
- Søg efter “TranslatePress”
- Klik Installer nu, så Aktiver
Tilføj dine målsprog
- Naviger til Settings → TranslatePress
- Under Alle sprog, klik på Tilføj sprog
- Vælg hvert sprog, du vil have dit websted oversat til (f.eks. spansk, fransk, tysk, arabisk, hindi osv.)
- Klik Gem ændringer
Vigtigt: The free version of TranslatePress supports one additional language. For multiple languages — which is the typical use case when using a bulk translation tool — you’ll need TranslatePress Personal or higher, or take advantage of the “Extra Languages” add-on.
Trin 2: Installer SkyTranslate Bulk Translate
- Gå til Plugins → Add New
- Søg efter “SkyTranslate Bulk Translate”
- Klik Installer nu og Aktiver
Alternativt kan du downloade det direkte fra WordPress.org og uploade zip-filen via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
Once activated, you’ll notice a new section in your left sidebar under SkyPlugins → SkyTranslate Bulk Translate.
Trin 3: Masse-auto-oversæt hele dit websted
Det er her, alt går op i en højere enhed.
Åbn dashboardet for masseoversættelse
Naviger til SkyPlugins → SkyTranslate Bulk Translate in your WordPress admin. You’ll land on the Masseredigering tab — a comprehensive table listing every piece of content on your site alongside its per-language translation status.
What you’ll see in the dashboard:
- Titel — The name of the post or page
- Type — Post, Page, or Custom Post Type
- Sprog — A badge for each language showing percentage complete (e.g., “Spanish 97%”, “Hindi Done”, “Arabic 0%”)
- Status — IDLE, In Progress, or Complete
Forstå din oversættelsesstatus
De farvekodede badges fortæller dig præcis, hvor du står:
- Green “Done” — That language is fully translated
- Gul/orange procentdel — Translation is partial (common after a site update adds new content)
- Intet badge / 0% — Content hasn’t been translated into that language yet
This visibility alone is worth installing the plugin. At a glance, you can see which posts are 99% complete and which ones haven’t been touched.
Vælg indhold, der skal oversættes
For at oversætte alt på én gang:
- Marker master-afkrydsningsfeltet in the header row — this selects all posts and pages shown in the list
- Brug Sprog-rullemenuen til at filtrere efter et specifikt sprog, hvis du kun vil køre oversættelser for én lokalitet ad gangen (valgfrit, men nyttigt for store websteder)
- Brug Alle typer-rullemenuen til at filtrere efter indholdstype, hvis det er nødvendigt
Pro tip: Aktiver “Skip already translated languages” (checkbox in the top-right corner of the dashboard). This prevents the tool from overwriting content that’s already been translated — particularly useful if you’ve done some manual translations you want to preserve.
Click “Auto Translate Selected”
Når dit indhold er valgt, skal du trykke på Automatisk oversættelse er valgt knap.
SkyTranslate begynder at arbejde gennem din kø:
- Den henter TranslatePress-eksempelversionen af hver side (den samme version, som editoren ser)
- Sender indholdet til Google Translate
- Skriver oversættelserne tilbage i TranslatePress-databasen
- Opdaterer status-badges i realtid
You can watch the progress in the dashboard. Large sites with many languages will take longer, but the process runs automatically — you don’t need to stay on the page or manually intervene.
When it’s done, your entire site will have complete first-draft translations stored in your TranslatePress database and immediately live on the front end.
Hvad gør dette anderledes end andre TranslatePress auto-oversættelsesmetoder?
This is an important question — and there are a few competing approaches worth understanding.
TranslatePress’s Built-in Auto-Translate
TranslatePress har sin egen automatiske oversættelsesfunktion. Den gratis version giver dig 2.000 AI-ord om måneden. Problemet: du skal stadig åbne hver side i front-end editoren og udløse oversættelsen manuelt. Der er ingen indbygget måde at oversætte hele dit websted på tværs af alle sider fra en enkelt skærm.
Side-niveau tilføjelser (Oversæt én side ad gangen)
Plugins like the “Automatic Translate Addon for TranslatePress” let you add an auto-translate button directly within the TranslatePress front-end editor. This is genuinely useful — but the workflow remains page-level. You still have to visit each page separately to trigger translation. As one competing plugin’s own FAQ acknowledges: det vil kun oversætte én side ad gangen. Du skal oversætte siderne én efter én.
SkyTranslate’s Approach: Dashboard-Level Bulk Translation
SkyTranslate opererer på indholdsstyringsniveauet, ikke side-editor niveauet. Forskellen er betydelig:
| Feature | TranslatePress indbygget | Side-niveau tilføjelser | SkyTranslate Bulk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oversæt alle sider på én gang | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Statusoversigt på én skærm | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Spring allerede oversat indhold over | ❌ | Manuel | ✅ |
| Virker uden API-nøgle | Begrænset | Ja (Yandex) | Ja (Google) |
| Kø-baseret baggrundsbehandling | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Ingen side-for-side klik påkrævet | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
For en webstedsejer, der administrerer 50+ sider, eller et bureau, der administrerer websteder for flere kunder, er produktivitetsforskellen betydelig.
Praktiske anvendelsesscenarier
Lancering af nyt websted
You’ve just built a 60-page WordPress site and configured TranslatePress with 10 languages. Instead of spending two days translating page by page, you: install SkyTranslate, select all, click auto-translate, and have a fully translated first draft within the hour.
Opdatering efter opdatering
You’ve published 15 new blog posts. Instead of hunting through each post to see which languages are missing translations, you open the SkyTranslate dashboard, filter for “partial” translations, select the new posts, and run translation just for those — in under five minutes.
Overdragelse til bureaukunde
You’re building multilingual sites for clients. With SkyTranslate, you can deliver a complete translated site as part of your standard workflow without billing extra hours for repetitive manual translation steps. It becomes a repeatable, scalable process.
Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Erstatter SkyTranslate TranslatePress?
No — SkyTranslate is a companion plugin, not a replacement. TranslatePress handles all translation storage, front-end rendering, and language switching. SkyTranslate adds the bulk translation workflow layer on top of it.
Har jeg brug for en betalt TranslatePress-plan?
For multiple languages, yes — the free version of TranslatePress supports only one additional language. SkyTranslate itself is free. For sites targeting several language markets, TranslatePress Personal or Business is needed.
Vil bulk auto-oversættelse overskrive mine manuelle rettelser?
Only if you translate content where a language is already marked “Done” without enabling “Skip already translated languages.” With that option checked, completed languages are left untouched.
Er Google Translate-kvaliteten god nok til at udgive?
Google Translate quality has improved dramatically, and for most use cases — especially for informational content, service pages, and blog posts — it produces publishable results. That said, for high-stakes content (legal, medical, e-commerce product descriptions), a post-translation review pass is always recommended.
Hvor mange sprog understøtter SkyTranslate?
It supports all languages configured in TranslatePress — up to 18+ in the current version.
Tips til at få de bedste resultater
1. Opsæt TranslatePress fuldt ud, før du kører bulk-oversættelse.
Sørg for, at alle målsprog er konfigureret, og at Google Translate er aktiveret. At køre SkyTranslate, før dette er opsat, vil producere ufuldstændige resultater.
2. Oversæt ét sprog ad gangen på meget store websteder.
If you have 200+ posts and 18 languages, it’s more stable to run the bulk translation per language rather than all at once. Use the language filter dropdown in the SkyTranslate dashboard.
3. Use “Skip already translated languages” every time.
There’s almost no reason to have this option turned off. It protects any manual corrections you’ve made and speeds up the translation queue.
4. Gennemgå sider med høj trafik manuelt efter bulk-oversættelse.
Bulk translation is excellent for coverage. For your most important pages — homepage, key landing pages, pricing — a quick human review after the auto-translate pass will improve quality significantly.
5. Kør igen efter publicering af nyt indhold.
Gør SkyTranslate til en del af dit indholds-workflow. Efter publicering af en række nye indlæg, åbn dashboardet, filtrer efter uoversat indhold, og kør oversættelse før indlæggene går live. Det tager 60 sekunder.
Resumé
Bulk-autooversættelse af et TranslatePress-site har historisk set krævet enten dyr menneskelig oversættelse, gentagne klik side for side eller tredjeparts betalte API'er. SkyTranslate ændrer det.
Workflowet er ligetil:
- Installer TranslatePress og tilføj dine målsprog
- Installer SkyTranslate Bulk Translate
- Go to SkyPlugins → SkyTranslate Bulk Translate
- Vælg alt uoversat indhold
- Klik på Auto Translate Selected
- Vent på at køen bliver færdig
Resultatet: et fuldt oversat WordPress-site, på tværs af alle sprog, uden at bruge timer i front-end editoren.
For WordPress site owners who want to reach international audiences without the manual overhead, and for agencies looking to include multilingual delivery as a standard service — SkyTranslate is the missing piece of the TranslatePress workflow.
