Translate Articles

Enable to automatically clone and translate articles when saving.
The plugin only works if the item being saved matches the source language.

Active Categories Limit translation to specific categories. Leave empty to allow all categories.
Associated Category If enabled, the plugin attempts to place the translated article in the category associated with the source category for the target language (via Category Associations). If no association exists, the original category is used.
Associated Tags If enabled, tags from the source article will be replaced by their translated counterparts (via Tag Associations). If disabled, original tags will be kept.
Create Associated Links If enabled, internal links in the content will be automatically updated to the corresponding items in the target language (if associations exist).
Update Existing Translations If 'Yes', existing translated items will be overwritten with a new translation when you save the source item. If 'No', only new items are created.
Translatable Fields Select which fields should be processed by the translation service. Unselected fields will be copied 1-to-1 and not translated. You can choose from: Title (aliases will be translated also), Text (Intro & Full), Images (Alt & Caption) (images itself won't be translated), Meta Description, Meta Keywords, Note and Custom Fields (Only Text, Textarea and Editor fields will be translated, other fieldtypes will be copied 1-to-1 and not translated)
Default State for New Translations Set the publication state for newly created article translations. 'Default' copies the state from the original article. You can choose from: Default (copy from original), Published, Unpublished, Archived, Trashed
