This plugin automatically creates translations based on the Translation plugin page structure using the DeepL API.

Install the plugin using the Plugin Manager and the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

To use the plugin, the following page/namespace structure is required:

• [ISO-Language-Code]:foo:bar
  • The page with the name foo:bar in the language [ISO-Language-Code]
• foo:bar
  • The original page with the name foo:bar in your default language

So for example if your default language is german and you have a namespace for english translations:

• start
  • Your default german landing page
• en:start
  • The english translation of the landing page

The plugin has two operating modes: the direct mode and the editor mode:

• direct mode: missing translation pages will automatically be created if you visit it. So for example if you visit en:start and it does not exist it will be translated automatically and the translation will be shown directly.
• editor mode (default): missing translation pages won't be created by simply visiting it, instead when you open the editor on a missing translations page, the auto-translated page will be pasted in the editor that you can edit and save it.

You can configure the default operating mode in the plugin settings. You also can define a regex for page names that should always be handled in a specific mode. Additionally you can define a blacklist regex for page names that should never be auto translated. You can define expressions (words) in texts that should never be translated (abbreviations for example).

If you want to retranslate a page, simply delete it and then it will be created again with your specified operating mode.

  • The translation button is only shown on the original pages when at least one push language is given
