About Hybrid AI Translator for TranslatePress
From the official readme · v1.2.5Description
Hybrid AI Translator for TranslatePress registers a new automatic translation engine inside the TranslatePress Multilingual plugin. When a visitor opens a translated URL, this engine automatically translates the page content and TranslatePress caches the result in its own database, so future visits are instant.

Official Website | Video Tutorial
How it works
- TranslatePress detects new strings that need translating.
- Our engine sends them to the public Google Translate endpoint (the same endpoint the Chrome browser translate extension uses) and gets back the translated text.
- TranslatePress stores the translation in its database. The next visitor sees the cached translation immediately.
What you get in this Free plugin
- Google Translate (Unofficial) provider — fast, high quality, no API key needed.
- Configurable timeout, chunk size, and per-request character limit.
- Per-translation log viewer so you can see exactly which strings were translated, when, and how long they took.
- One-click “Test” button to verify connectivity from your server.
- Clean uninstall — all plugin options are removed when you delete the plugin from the WordPress admin.
Why “Hybrid”?
The architecture is designed to support multiple translation providers chained together with automatic fallback. The Free plugin ships with Google Translate (Unofficial) only. A separate Pro add-on extends the chain with AI-based providers (ChatGPT-compatible / Groq / OpenRouter / DeepSeek / LM Studio / Ollama) and a Tone-and-Style control. The Free plugin is fully functional on its own and does not require Pro.
Privacy
- This plugin only contacts the translation endpoint you’ve configured (by default:
translate.googleapis.com). It sends only the strings TranslatePress asks it to translate. - No telemetry, no tracking, no analytics, no calls to any other server.
- No personal data of your visitors is sent anywhere — only the page text that needs translating.
- See the FAQ for the full data flow.
External services
This plugin connects to one external service to function:
Google Translate (Unofficial) — https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single
* What is sent: the source text strings TranslatePress needs translated, plus the source/target language codes.
* When: only when TranslatePress requests a translation for a string that is not yet cached.
* Why: to receive the translated text.
* Provider: Google. Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms. Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
You can change the endpoint URL in the plugin settings if you self-host a compatible service.
Pro version (optional)
A separate Pro add-on adds AI-based translation providers (OpenAI-compatible: ChatGPT, Groq, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, LM Studio, Ollama) with custom Tone-and-Style control. The Pro add-on is sold separately at mojibur.com/hybrid-ai-translator-for-translatepress-pro. The Free plugin is complete on its own — Pro is optional.
Installation
- Install and activate the TranslatePress Multilingual plugin first.
- From your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New, search for “Hybrid AI Translator for TranslatePress”, and click Install Now → Activate. (Or upload the plugin ZIP via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.)
- Go to Settings → Hybrid AI Translator and verify the Google provider is enabled. Click Test to confirm your server can reach the endpoint.
- Go to Settings → TranslatePress → Automatic Translation and select “Hybrid AI (Google + Pro AI providers)” as the translation engine, then enable Automatic Translation and Save.
- Visit any translated URL on the front-end. New strings will be translated automatically and cached.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No. The Google Translate (Unofficial) provider does not require any API key.
Will Google rate-limit me?
The unofficial endpoint can rate-limit aggressive use. Because TranslatePress caches every translation in its own database, the endpoint is only called for genuinely new strings — for a typical small or medium site this is far below any rate-limit threshold. If you have a very large site or do bulk translation, consider the Pro add-on which adds AI providers as fallback.
Where are translations stored?
In TranslatePress’s own database tables. This plugin does not store translations itself — it just hands them to TranslatePress.
Does this plugin send my visitors’ personal data anywhere?
No. Only the page text that needs translating is sent to the configured translation endpoint, and only when TranslatePress requests it. No visitor IPs, cookies, or other personal data are transmitted by this plugin.
What happens if I uninstall the plugin?
All plugin options (haitp_settings, haitp_log) are removed from the database. Translations TranslatePress has cached in its own tables are not touched — TranslatePress manages those independently.
Is the source code available?
Yes — this plugin is GPLv2-or-later. The full source is in the plugin folder, and the development repository is linked from the plugin homepage.
Can I extend it with a custom provider?
Yes. Extend HAITP_Provider_Base, implement translate() and self_test(), and register your class via the haitp_registered_providers filter.
Changelog
Fixes constant "HTTP 429 from Google" failures with endpoint fallbacks and retries. Recommended for everyone on shared hosting.
1.2.5
- Fixed the Google (Unofficial) provider constantly failing with “HTTP 429 from Google” on shared hosting. Requests now send a normal browser User-Agent instead of a plugin-identifying one, which was the main reason Google rate-limited them.
- Added a short retry with back-off, plus automatic fallback to alternate Google endpoints (translate.google.com and clients5.google.com) before the request is treated as failed.
- After a genuine rate-limit, the provider enters a 5-minute cool-down so translation does not keep hammering a blocked endpoint, and the provider chain moves on immediately.
- The rate-limit error message now explains the cause and what to do, instead of showing only an HTTP status code.
- The “Test Google” button always runs a live test, ignoring any active cool-down.
1.2.4
- Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
- Refreshed the Pro panel on the settings screen: the feature list is now grouped into three columns and covers the terminology glossary, translation editing with find & replace, and the backup / migration tools.
1.2.3
- Fixed a PHP notice (“Undefined variable $opt”) on the settings page caused by an incorrect variable passed to the Pro section action hooks.
1.2.2
- The “Watch the setup & translation video” link in the Pro upgrade panel now points to the Pro version overview video.
- Removed the redundant perks line from the Pro upgrade panel for a cleaner layout.
1.2.1
- Added a “Watch the setup & translation video” link on the settings page so users can follow a YouTube walkthrough to install and configure the plugin.
- Updated the Pro upgrade panel to list the “Delete ALL translations” tool (clear every cached translation in one click and re-translate fresh).
1.2.0
- Renamed plugin to “Hybrid AI Translator for TranslatePress”.
- New PHP prefix
HAITP_and text domainhybrid-ai-translator-for-translatepress. - Added
LICENSE.txt,uninstall.php, andload_plugin_textdomain()for full WordPress.org compliance. - Activation safety: blocks Free activation when the Pro add-on is already active, so the two cannot collide.
