Documentation: Autolanguage plugin
Configuration - Categories

| Translate Categories | Enable to automatically clone and translate categories when saving. The plugin only works if the item being saved matches the source language. |
| Update Existing Translations | If 'Yes', existing translated items are overwritten with a new translation when you save the source item. If 'No', only new items are created. |
| Associated Tags PRO version only | If enabled, tags from the source category are replaced by their translated counterparts (via Tag Associations). If disabled, original tags are kept. |
| Translatable Fields | Select which fields the translation service processes. Unselected fields are copied 1-to-1 and not translated. The FREE version offers Title (aliases are translated too) and Description. PRO adds Images (Alt & Caption, images themselves aren't translated), Meta Description, Meta Keywords, Note and Custom Fields (only Text, Textarea and Editor fields are translated, other field types are copied 1-to-1). |
| Default State for New Translations PRO version only | Set the publication state for newly created category translations. 'Default' copies the state from the original category. You can choose from: Default (copy from original), Published, Unpublished, Archived, Trashed. |
