• をオンにします Debug toggle if something isn’t working as expected – it can reveal query issues and help you diagnose problems faster.

バックグラウンド翻訳

何をするのか

The Background Translate feature lets you queue up post translations to run in the background — you can navigate away from the page and the process keeps going. You can watch real-time progress through a status badge, a progress bar, summary counters (total, processed, failed, remaining), and a detailed activity log.

使用方法

1. に行きます スカイラング admin page and click the バックグラウンド翻訳 タブ。
2. Select the checkboxes for the post types you want to include in the translation queue.

• You can safely navigate to other pages or close the tab; the translation process continues in the background.
• If you need to change settings or make adjustments, use Pause そして Reset Queue before starting a new batch.

Category, Tag & Product Taxonomy Sync

何をするのか

This feature performs a one‑shot sync that copies translated categories, tags, and product taxonomies (such as product categories, product tags, and product brands) to their corresponding translated posts and products. If no translation exists for a term, it will automatically create a new term in the target language.

使用方法

1. に行きます スカイラング admin page and open the ツール tab, or click the sync button in the 一括エディター toolbar.
2. をクリックします。 Sync categories & tags button to start the process.
3. The sync scans all default‑language posts and their translations.
4. For each translated post, the feature assigns the translated versions of the source terms.
5. When the sync finishes, a status message displays the number of posts that were updated.

Settings & Options

There are no configurable settings for this feature. Simply click the sync button to run it.

Tips & Best Practices

• Run the sync after translating your categories, tags, or product taxonomies to make sure all translated posts use the correct terms.
• Because the sync creates missing translations automatically, you don’t need to pre‑create translated terms before running it.
• For quick access while editing content, use the sync button directly from the Bulk Editor toolbar.
• Check the status message that appears after the sync to confirm how many posts were updated.

メニュー同期

何をするのか

Menu Sync duplicates your navigation menus across all Polylang languages. When you run the sync, menu items that link to posts, pages, or categories are automatically mapped to their translated versions. If a translation doesn’t exist, the original link is kept. Any Polylang language switcher items in your menu are preserved as they are.

使用方法

1. に行きます スカイラング admin page and open the ツール tab, or click the メニュー同期 button in the 一括エディター toolbar.
2. をクリックします。 Sync menus ボタン。
3. The tool scans all menus assigned to your site’s default language.
4. For each target language, it creates or updates a duplicate menu.
5. Menu items pointing to posts, pages, or categories are matched to their translations.
6. The new menus are automatically registered in Polylang.

Settings & Options

There are no configurable settings for this feature. The sync process runs immediately when you click the button.

Tips & Best Practices

• Run Menu Sync after you have created translations for your posts, pages, and categories to get the most accurate mapping.
• If you edit a default language menu later, run the sync again to propagate those changes to other language menus.
• Items without a translation will keep the original language link, so check for any missing translations if you need fully localized menus.
• Use the Bulk Editor toolbar button for quick access while managing your content.

Auto-Sync Categories & Tags During Translation

何をするのか

When you translate a post, this feature automatically creates translated copies of the post’s categories, tags, and product taxonomies and assigns them to the translated version. If a term doesn’t already have a translation in the target language, a new term is created so your taxonomy stays complete and consistent across languages.

使用方法

1. 次のサイトにアクセスしてください： SkyLang → Settings.
2. Select the checkbox labeled Auto-sync categories, tags & product taxonomies during translation.
3. 設定を保存します。
4. The next time you translate a post, the plugin will automatically create and assign the translated taxonomy terms.

Settings & Options

Tips & Best Practices

• Enable this option if you regularly translate posts with important categories or tags to keep your site’s taxonomy synchronized across languages.
• Because new terms are created automatically, consider translating key taxonomy terms first so that the existing translations are reused instead of creating duplicates.
• If you prefer to manually assign categories and tags to translated content, leave this checkbox unchecked.
• This feature works with the bulk editor to help you translate many posts at once while keeping taxonomy relationships intact.

文字列翻訳 (ポリラン文字列)

何をするのか

Adds an "Auto-translate missing" button to the Polylang String Translation page (Polylang → Strings translation). When clicked, the button automatically fills all empty translation fields for every non-default language using your chosen AI provider.

6. Review the newly filled translations and save the page manually.

Settings & Options

There are no settings for this feature. The button works with your existing AI provider configuration.

Tips & Best Practices

• Review before saving – AI translations may need minor adjustments. Always check the filled fields before clicking the save button.
• Only empty fields are filled – Existing translations will not be overwritten, so you can safely use the button after manually translating some strings.
• Use it after adding new strings – If you’ve added new translatable strings, run the “Auto-translate missing” button to quickly populate them.
• Configure your AI provider first – This feature relies on your selected AI provider. Make sure it is set up correctly in the translation engine settings.

翻訳エンジンの構成

何をするのか

Choose the AI service that powers your site’s translations. The free version works with Google Translate right out of the box — no API key needed. Pro unlocks access to advanced AI models like Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, OpenRouter, and any OpenAI‑compatible endpoint, with full control over model selection and custom base URLs.

使用方法

1. に行きます スカイラング admin page and open the 設定 タブ。
2. から AIプロバイダー dropdown, pick the translation service you want to use.
3. Depending on your choice:
   • Google Translator (free) – No further setup required.
   • Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or OpenAI‑compatible – Enter the corresponding API Key and select or type a Model name.
4. If needed, adjust the APIタイムアウト (for large posts) or fill in custom base URLs for OpenAI or Anthropic endpoints.
5. クリック 変更を保存 to apply your configuration.

Settings & Options

Tips & Best Practices

• Start free: The default Google Translate option works immediately and needs no API key or extra setup.
• API キーを安全に保つ: For Pro providers, double‑check that your keys are entered correctly and have enough credits for your translation volume.
• Adjust timeout for large content: If translations of long posts fail, increase the APIタイムアウト setting to give the provider more time to respond.
• Use custom base URLs: If you have a self‑hosted or third‑party service that mimics the OpenAI API, simply change the base URL and provide the matching model name.

翻訳モード

何をするのか

Translation Mode lets you choose how your content is processed for translation. You can either extract individual translatable strings from your content (safe string extraction) or send the full post content to AI for a context-aware translation that preserves Gutenberg blocks, HTML, and inline styles.

使用方法

1. Go to the SkyLang admin page and open the 設定 タブ。
2. を見つけてください 翻訳モード dropdown.
3. Select the mode you want to use:
   • Safe string extraction (recommended) – for per-string extraction.
   • Full post_content AI translation – for complete, context-aware translation.
4. クリック 保存 選択を適用します。
5. The selected mode will be used whenever content is translated.

Settings & Options

Tips & Best Practices

• 使用 Safe string extraction as your default mode – it’s reliable and works well for most content.
• Switch to Full post_content AI translation when you need the AI to understand the full context, such as long articles or pages with complex formatting.
• After enabling full content translation, always review a few translations to ensure Gutenberg blocks and inline styles are preserved correctly.
• Keep in mind that full content translation may use more AI processing time, so plan accordingly if you translate many posts at once.

フルコンテンツのカスタム AI 命令

何をするのか

This feature lets you add your own custom instructions that are sent to the AI along with SkyLang’s built-in preservation prompt when you use the Full Content translation mode. It gives you extra control over how the AI handles the tone, terminology, or specific elements of your content. (Available in the Pro version.)

使用方法

1. に行きます スカイラング admin page and open the 設定 タブ。
2. 下にスクロールして、 Full Content Custom Instructions textarea.
3. Type your custom instructions for the AI (for example, preferred phrasing, domain‑specific terms, or formatting rules).
4. をクリックします。 設定の保存 button to store your instructions.
5. When you translate content using the Full Content translation mode, your custom text will be appended to the default preservation prompt automatically.

Settings & Options

Tips & Best Practices

• Be specific about any terms, brand names, or style preferences you want the AI to follow.
• Keep your instructions clear and concise – short, focused prompts often produce better results.
• Experiment with different instructions to see which phrasing works best for your content type.
• Remember that these instructions apply only when using the Full Content translation mode; other modes ignore this setting.

構成可能な投稿タイプ

何をするのか

This feature lets you choose which content types (like posts, pages, or products) are available for translation in SkyLang. In the free version, you can enable translation for posts, pages, and products (when WooCommerce is active). The Pro version extends this to any custom post type that works with Polylang.

使用方法

1. Go to the SkyLang admin page and open the 設定 タブ。
2. Look for the Enable for Post Types セクション。
3. Check the boxes next to each post type you want to use for translation.
4. Uncheck any post type you don’t want to appear in the Bulk Editor or be translated.
5. クリック 保存 をクリックして変更を適用します。

Settings & Options

Tips & Best Practices

• Only enable the post types you actually need to translate. This keeps the Bulk Editor clean and reduces confusion.
• If you use WooCommerce, remember that “Products” will only appear as an option if WooCommerce is active.
• In the Pro version, custom post types registered with Polylang support will show up automatically—check them if you want them included.
• After enabling a new post type, refresh the Bulk Editor to see its content appear for translation.

SEOメタ翻訳

何をするのか

This feature automatically translates the meta titles and descriptions from popular SEO plugins—Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO—when you translate a post or term. It detects which SEO plugin is active on your site and ensures the appropriate meta fields are translated along with your main content.

使用方法

No manual activation or extra steps are required. The translation happens automatically whenever you translate a post or term:

1. Start translating a post or term using your usual translation workflow.
2. The system detects the active SEO plugin (Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO).
3. It extracts the SEO title and description from the source content and sends them to the AI provider for translation alongside the body text.
4. The translated SEO meta values are saved to the new translation.

Settings & Options

This feature has no configurable settings. It runs automatically each time you translate content.

Tips & Best Practices

• Make sure your source content has SEO titles and descriptions filled in before translating. The feature will only translate meta that already exists.
• This feature is compatible with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO. If you use another SEO plugin, the meta fields may not be translated.
• After translation, review the SEO meta of your translated content. Automated translations can sometimes require minor edits to sound natural and fit your SEO strategy.
• Because the translation happens alongside the main content, you don’t need to take any additional steps—just translate as you normally would.

WooCommerce 製品バリエーションの翻訳

何をするのか

When you translate a WooCommerce product, this feature automatically creates translated versions of all product variations and links them to the translated product. Variation short descriptions are translated using your chosen AI provider, and all variation meta data such as prices, SKUs, and attributes are copied from the original variations.

使用方法

1. Start a translation for a WooCommerce product (for example, from the product edit page or using the bulk translation tools).
2. The plugin automatically finds all variations attached to the source product.
3. Each variation’s short description is translated by the AI provider.
4. New variation posts are created for the translated product, and every meta field (price, SKU, attributes, etc.) is copied from the source variation.

No additional steps are required—the process is handled entirely during the product translation workflow.

Settings & Options

This feature has no configurable settings. It works automatically whenever you translate a WooCommerce product.

Tips & Best Practices

• Review translated descriptions – Variation short descriptions are automatically translated, so check them to ensure they fit the context of the translated product.
• Prices and SKUs are copied – If you need different pricing or SKUs for translated variations, update them manually after the translation is complete.
• Custom meta is preserved – All custom variation data is copied to the translated variations, so you don’t have to re‑enter product‑specific information.
• Prepare your AI provider – For best results, confirm that your AI translation provider is configured and optimised for product descriptions before translating products with variations.

Elementor Layout & Data Preservation

何をするのか

When translating an Elementor‑built page, the plugin deeply copies and translates Elementor data while preserving the layout structure. Widget settings with translatable text (titles, descriptions, button text, etc.) are translated, and Elementor CSS files are regenerated for the translated post.

使用方法

This feature works automatically — there is no separate UI or setup required. Simply translate a post that was created with Elementor, and the plugin will handle the rest.

1. Start the translation of a post that contains Elementor data (e.g., from the WordPress dashboard or using the bulk editor).
2. The plugin detects the Elementor metadata and recursively processes the widget structure.
3. Widget settings with translatable text are sent to the AI provider for translation.
4. The translated Elementor data is saved to the translated post.
5. Essential Elementor meta keys are copied, and CSS/assets are regenerated for the new translated post.

Settings & Options

Tips & Best Practices

• Complete your original Elementor layout and text before translating. This ensures the entire structure is captured and translated correctly.
• After translation, preview the translated page to verify that the layout remains intact and all widget text has been updated.
• When working with multiple Elementor pages, use the bulk editor to translate them all at once — the layout preservation works seamlessly in bulk.

オンボーディングセットアップウィザード

何をするのか

The Onboarding Setup Wizard is a multi-step guide that appears automatically after you first activate the plugin. It helps you get started by detecting your Polylang languages, offering a test translation, and introducing you to Pro features. The wizard ensures you have a smooth initial setup before you start translating your content.

使用方法

1. On first activation, you are automatically redirected to the wizard’s welcome page.
2. In Step 1, review the detected Polylang languages. If everything looks correct, click “Next” to continue.
3. Step 2 lets you test a translation: enter some sample text, select a target language, and see how the translation works. You can also skip this optional step.
4. Step 3 shows a comparison of Pro features with the option to “View Pro Plans & Pricing”. If you already have a license, you’ll see a confirmation that Pro is active.
5. Step 4 displays a review prompt. Choose “Go to Dashboard” to start using the plugin or “Visit Our Website” for additional resources.

Settings & Options

There are no settings to configure for the Onboarding Setup Wizard. It guides you through the setup without requiring any permanent adjustments.

Tips & Best Practices

• Take advantage of the test translation in Step 2 to verify the engine works with your content before translating entire pages.
• The wizard is designed to be completed in a few minutes — don’t skip it, as it ensures your languages are correctly detected.
• If you’re already a Pro user, Step 3 will confirm your license is active, so you can proceed with confidence.
• After finishing, you can always revisit the bulk translation or configuration settings from the main dashboard.

• 使用 ライセンスステータスの確認 periodically or after making network changes to ensure your key remains valid.
• Deactivate your license before removing the plugin or transferring it to another site to free up the activation slot.
• Only one site can be active per license key at a time; deactivate the old site before activating on a new one.
