TranslatePress is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to handle translations for dynamic content, including shortcodes and forms. Here's how it manages these translations:
Translating Dynamic Content
TranslatePress allows users to translate dynamic content directly from the front-end of their WordPress site. This includes output from shortcodes, forms, and page builders, making it easy to manage complex multilingual content without needing to delve into code or backend settings[3][4].
Handling Shortcodes
For shortcodes, TranslatePress integrates seamlessly, allowing you to translate the entire page at once, including any content generated by shortcodes. This means that whether you're using shortcodes for custom layouts or dynamic content, TranslatePress can handle the translations smoothly[4].
Conditional Shortcodes for Hidden Content
In cases where content is not visible on the front-end (e.g., emails sent by plugins), TranslatePress provides a conditional shortcode (`[trp_language]`) to manage translations for such hidden content. This shortcode allows you to display content based on the current language, ensuring that all parts of your site, even those not visible on the front-end, can be properly translated[2].
Forms and Dynamic Strings
TranslatePress supports the translation of dynamic strings, including those added by WordPress, plugins, and themes using gettext functions. This means that any dynamic content, such as form fields or user-triggered content, can be translated directly from the front-end interface[1][9].
Visual Editor and Role-Based Translation
The plugin offers a visual editor that allows administrators to translate content as they see it on the site. Additionally, with the "Browse as Role" add-on, administrators can view the site as different user roles (logged in or logged out), enabling them to translate dynamic content that appears based on user status[1].
Integration with Page Builders
TranslatePress works well with page builders, allowing users to translate larger blocks of HTML with a single translation by joining multiple translation strings into a translation block. This feature simplifies the process of managing complex layouts and dynamic content within page builders[4].
Overall, TranslatePress provides a comprehensive solution for translating dynamic content in WordPress, making it easier to manage multilingual sites without extensive technical knowledge.
