How It Works
- Install and activate this plugin alongside TranslatePress
- Go to Settings > TranslatePress > Automatic Translation
- Select “Langbly” as your translation engine
- Enter your API key
- Enable automatic translation. Done!
TranslatePress will automatically translate new pages and content using Langbly when visitors browse your site in a different language.
Supported Languages
Langbly supports all major languages including English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, and many more. Especially strong for Dutch, German, and French translations.
External Services
This plugin connects to the Langbly translation API to provide machine translations within TranslatePress.
What it does: When automatic translation is enabled with Langbly selected as the engine, the plugin sends page content and the target language to the Langbly API and receives translated text back.
What data is sent: The source strings being translated, the source language code, the target language code, and your API key (for authentication). Data is sent only when TranslatePress triggers an automatic translation.
Service provider: Langbly (langbly.com)
