Translating users

Gato AI Translations for Polylang can translate user descriptions to all configured languages.

To translate user descriptions, you only need to fill in the description field in the origin language. The plugin will then translate it to all configured languages.

Edit the user profile and add the description in the origin language.

Automatic translation

To translate user descriptions automatically, you can enable the Automatic translation for Users option in the Plugin Configuration > Automatic Translation tab in the Settings.

The translation will be triggered when a user with a description is created.

The Add User screen does not provide the description field, so the automatic translation would be triggered when the user is created by other means (eg: API, WP-CLI, etc).
