I am currently using WPML on my e-commerce site, which features a large inventory of over 4000 products primarily described in English. I have recently integrated Arabic as a new language option and am seeking to automate the translation process for these products using a translation API.
I would like to ensure that after translating the products, they are properly linked within WPML, maintaining their relationships and statuses accurately across languages. Here are some specific questions I have:
What is the recommended method to programmatically add a translated product in WPML and link it to its original version? I need to ensure that metadata and custom fields are also translated and linked properly.
Is there an API or a particular set of WPML functions that you recommend for handling the translation of post titles, descriptions, and syncing metadata between the original and translated posts?
Are there any specific considerations or best practices I should follow when using external translation APIs in conjunction with WPML to ensure consistency and integrity across the translated content?
I am looking for guidance or reference to any documentation that might help in setting up this automated translation process more efficiently.
Thank you for your assistance in advance. I look forward to your recommendations and any resources you can provide.
This information was very helpful, and I managed to perform translations using the OpenAI API! Thank you very much.
I hope WPML will also integrate with the OpenAI API. As you can imagine, the translations are of much higher quality!
Best regards,
Mehmet
