بدء الاستخدام POZENA

To send files for translation to POZENA, you first need to set up WPML on your WordPress CMS.

If you do not have a wpml.org account yet, you can create a new one by simply choosing between our WPML Multilingual CMS or Multilingual CMS Lifetime plans.

Once you get access to your wpml.org  account, go through our detailed step-by-step guide on how to download and install WPML. Please, remember to register your site to receive automatic updates and gain access to POZENA services.

If you need any help with the WPML plugin configuration, you can go through our getting started guide or just ask a question on our support forum.

Next, login to your wpml.org account, and download and install the following plugins:

  • WPML Multilingual CMS: the core plugin.
  • WPML Translation Management: this plugin will allow you to connect to POZENA.
  • WPML String Translation: this plugin will allow you to translate interface strings.

Also, consider the following additional plugins according to your needs:

  • WPML Media Translation
  • WPML Sticky Links
  • WPML CMS Navigation
  • WooCommerce Multilingual
  • Any other WPML components, which may be required by particular plug-ins you have installed on your website

Make sure the theme your website is using is listed as fully compatible with WPML.

Lastly, confirm all third-party plugins used in your website are listed as fully compatible with WPML.

Understanding your translation service

The core service provided by POZENA is professional multilingual translation. This service comprises the following steps: receiving your content through WPML, analyzing your content, providing you with a free non-obligation quotation, performing all professional translations as ordered and returning translations back through WPML to your website.

The translation service does NOT normally include any work on your WordPress CMS, your WPML installation, and configuration, or your IT/web design troubleshooting. At no point in the process does POZENA require access to your WordPress CMS. POZENA takes no responsibility for clients’ technical errors and their consequences. The party normally in charge of this is clients’ web developers. Also, you can always refer to the WPML support forum to get technical support.

POZENA may well be able to provide IT support related to using WPML, related web design issues and SEO, however, these services are not in the scope of the core translation provision. The need for these must be communicated and any services must be agreed before the start of translation and shall be quoted independently.

Once all the required plugins have been installed and activated, all you need for connecting WPML to the translation service is your POZENA API Token.

Jobs in progress

Receiving quotation and authorizing translation

Once your translation basket has been transmitted, POZENA will be notified immediately and will proceed to carry out detailed analysis of the batch. Then, one of following two scenarios will be considered:

  1. If this is your first order with POZENA, and/or you have no prior commercial agreement in place, and/or you specifically requested this to happen, no chargeable work would start automatically. Instead, you will be asked to first approve the cost: POZENA will email you a detailed quotation for the batch, with the terms and conditions for the business and simple instructions on how to authorize the translation.
  2. Even if you have a valid business account with POZENA with established terms in place, POZENA will still email you the details of each job (e.g. the exact cost and deadline) for information purposes, but will also proceed with the translation work immediately.

Receiving completed translations

As soon as a translation job is completed by POZENA, it also becomes ready to be delivered to your website.

Having your completed translations delivered to your website

Depending on your configuration, translations will be delivered automatically or can be manually fetched from your WordPress admin panel.

To check your configuration settings, open WPML->Translation Management and click on the Multilingual Content Setup tab. Find the Translation Pickup mode section and check the selected option.

 

Select translation delivery method

 

The Translation Service will deliver translations automatically using XML-RPC option implies that a translation will be delivered to your website automatically as soon as it is ready.

 

Jobs complete

 

The site will fetch translations manually option implies that completed translations can be downloaded from the Translations Dashboard (WPML->Translation Management) by using the Check status and get translations button at the top of the page.

Canceling translation jobs

Although you cannot cancel individual translations from WPML, you can delete an individual job or an entire project from POZENA by contacting your POZENA Project Manager.

NOTICE: Be aware that cancellation requests for previously submitted work should be sent as soon as possible. Since POZENA cannot cancel translation work that has already been completed, unless your commercial terms state otherwise, you will be charged for the work completed, and a cancellation fee would also be levied.

Having your canceled translations returned to your site

Depending on your Translation pickup mode configuration, when a project is canceled, your information will either be returned to your site automatically, or it will be returned after you have manually checked for canceled translations by clicking the Check status and get translations button on the Translation Management Dashboard.

Thus, if you select the Translation Service will deliver translations automatically using XML-RPC option, all you need to do is wait for its delivery.

If you select The site will fetch translations manually option, you will need to click on the Check status and get translations button.

 

Checking for canceled jobs in manual translation pick up mode

 

When a project is canceled, it’s removed from the Translation Jobs tab in WPML.
