TranslatePress is a versatile WordPress plugin designed to handle various types of content, including user-triggered content. Here's how it manages such dynamic content:
Handling Dynamic Content
TranslatePress supports the translation of dynamic strings, which are often added by WordPress, plugins, or themes. This includes content that appears after specific user actions, such as clicking a button or logging in. The plugin allows you to translate these dynamic elements directly from the front-end interface.
Translating User-Triggered Content
To translate user-triggered content, you can use the live preview feature of TranslatePress. Hereâs how it works:
1. Trigger the Content: First, you need to trigger the dynamic content to appear. For example, if you have a login form that changes to a logout button after logging in, you would log in to see the logout button.
2. Open Translation Editor: While viewing the triggered content, you can open the TranslatePress translation editor. This allows you to see the dynamic content in real-time and translate it directly from the front-end.
3. Translate the Content: Once the dynamic content is visible, you can select the specific strings you want to translate and input your translations in the sidebar. This process ensures that all user-triggered content is properly translated and visible to users in their preferred language.
Advanced Settings for Dynamic Content
In the Advanced Settings of TranslatePress, you can find options to handle dynamic content more effectively. For instance, you can disable the detection of strings displayed dynamically using JavaScript if needed. This can help manage how dynamic content is translated, especially if it's inserted via JavaScript and causes issues on translated pages[1].
Collaboration and Translation Memory
TranslatePress also offers features like translator accounts and translation memory. These features allow multiple users to collaborate on translations without accessing the WordPress backend. The translation memory ensures consistency by reusing previously translated content across the site, which is particularly useful for dynamic content that may appear in multiple places[3][7].
Automatic Translation
TranslatePress integrates with machine translation services like Google Translate and DeepL, allowing you to automatically translate content. While this feature is powerful, it typically requires user interaction to trigger the translation of new or dynamic content. However, there isn't a built-in feature to manually trigger the translation of all untranslated content at once, which can be a challenge for large sites with less frequently visited pages[4][9].
Overall, TranslatePress provides a robust solution for translating user-triggered content by allowing real-time translation from the front-end and supporting dynamic strings. However, for comprehensive translation of all content types, especially in large sites, additional strategies might be needed to ensure all pages are properly translated and indexed by search engines.
