🔥 Execute Gato Translate (Custom) bulk actions, integrate with ACF, Meta Box, and SEO plugins, WP-CLI, and more

Gato AI Translations for Polylang just dropped v14.0, packed with all the new features our users asked for!

​

Gato Translate (Custom)

You can now execute the Gato Translate action with custom settings, by using the new Gato Translate (Custom) bulk action.

This bulk action will redirect to a Custom Settings page, with options that you can override for that execution only (these settings will not be stored to the plugin settings).

Using custom settings is useful on many scenarios, such as:

​

Re-trigger failed translations

The most common use case for this feature is to re-trigger the translation for a language that failed without affecting other languages.

To do that, you can select the None (disable translation) option for each already-translated language, and click on the Execute 'Gato Translate' button:

(Big thanks to plugin's user Hervé, who contributed the code for the links to quickly set the value on the dropdowns 👏)

We have also added an option to have the None (Disable Translation) option applied by default to all languages in the Custom Settings.

​

Automatic integration with Advanced Custom Fields and Meta Box

Previously, you had to manually configure the meta keys to synchronize and translate for each field group in Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Meta Box.

That was a bit cumbersome, and not very intuitive.

So we've fixed it! We have added a Gato Translate input to configure sync/translation directly using the UI of these plugins.

Automatic integration with SEO plugins

In the past, you had to manually configure the meta keys to synchronize and translate for each SEO plugin.

Not anymore. The following SEO plugins are now integrated out of the box:

And you can enable/disable the integration for each plugin in the Plugin Integration Configuration tab in Settings.

​

Access new AI models immediately

You can now access the AI models from OpenRouter directly from the OpenRouter API. The list of models is updated daily.

That means that you do not need to wait for Gato AI Translations for Polylang to be updated to use the latest version of your favorite model, or to try out a fancy new model.

Do it immediately, the same day the model is released!

(Thanks again to Hervé, he also contributed the code for this new feature 👏👏)

The UI now also displays information for the selected model, including price, context window, max tokens, and more.

And you can also filter the models by price, release date, and more.

​

Trigger translations via WP-CLI

You can trigger translations directly from the command line via WP-CLI, with a simple wp gatotranslate command.

​

• Support OpenAI 5 models
