Run a safe first sample
Generate pending translations is a site-wide operation, so it is not the correct tool for limiting a first quality check to a few strings. Use the filtered translation table and individual machine-translation controls instead.
Prepare a representative sample
- Configure one additional language and verify that automatic translation is available.
- Save a representative source post so its strings exist.
- Open Translations → Translate contents.
- Select the target language.
- Filter by Post and enter that post's object ID.
- Review the source rows and their context.
Choose content that includes a title, normal prose, formatting, a link, and any registered metadata important to the site.
Translate and inspect
Use the machine-translation control on one row at a time. After each result:
- compare meaning and terminology with the source;
- confirm protected markers are unchanged;
- review punctuation, links, and inline formatting;
- open the localized public page;
- correct the value and select Save translations when needed.
A manual edit is saved with Human status. A successful machine result is saved with Machine status and can be rendered immediately; the status does not hold it back from visitors.
Decide whether to expand
Only launch the site-wide generator after the sample confirms the language configuration, POM AI authorization, terminology, formatting, and public rendering. Before that larger run, read Generate every pending translation and Plan a large-site run.
