LATW AI Translation for Loco Translate adds AI-powered automatic translation to the popular Loco Translate plugin.
Instead of translating strings one by one, you queue an entire PO file (from the plugin’s Translations tab or with a single button right inside the Loco editor). A background WP-Cron worker submits the untranslated strings to OpenAI’s Responses API, polls for completion, and writes the results back into your .po file — recompiling the matching .mo automatically.
Features
- Dashboard — translation stats, cost, queue status and WP-Cron health at a glance.
- Translations — browse translatable PO files grouped by bundle (plugins, themes, WordPress core) and queue them with one click. The target language is taken from each file’s own locale.
- Auto Translate button — appears directly on the Loco Translate file editor and queues the current file.
- History — every job with its model, token usage, cost and the raw request/response.
- Logs — file-based logs with an optional verbose debug mode.
- Settings — OpenAI API key, model, reasoning effort and source language.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.2 or higher
- PHP 7.4 or higher
- The free Loco Translate plugin must be installed and active.
- An OpenAI API key.
