About YUZ-TRA
From the official readme · v1.5.45Description
YUZ-TRA combines a visual editor with a searchable Gettext catalog. The two editors
share a resizable workspace, with keyboard-accessible handles and a stacked mobile
layout. Layout preferences stay in the browser, scoped to the current site and user.
Scan installed WordPress code, choose a language and domain, edit singular or plural
forms, review and publish. Only published catalog translations replace displayed
strings. Machine-generated catalog translations require review; approved memory
entries require an explicit human confirmation.
The silent worker is optional and depends on WordPress Cron. Classic providers can
publish missing translations in explicitly enabled silent mode. Ollama output
always stays pending review. Resource limits are configurable safety budgets, not
a paid feature unlock. No translation correctness or legal compliance is guaranteed.
YUZ-TRA is open-source software. Test on staging and back up before replacing an existing plugin.
Declared minimum versions have not all been tested; acceptance tests used WordPress
7.1, PHP 8.3 and WooCommerce 10.8.1.

External services
No hosted translation subscription is included. Configure a provider deliberately
before requesting translations. The provider receives source text, source/target
language codes and its configured credentials. It can also observe the server IP.
Never translate sensitive content without checking the provider’s terms and your
site’s privacy obligations. See PRIVACY.md for retention and local storage details.
- LibreTranslate: administrator-selected endpoint; receives text and languages when
translating. A language-discovery or connection test also contacts that endpoint.
Self-hosting: https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate
Self-hosted software license: https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate/blob/main/LICENSE
No hosted operator is selected or contracted by this plugin. Before configuring a
hosted endpoint, obtain that operator’s service terms and privacy policy; the
software license is not a hosted-service agreement. LibreTranslate’s API portal
privacy notice: https://portal.libretranslate.com/privacy.html - Ollama: administrator-selected server and installed model. Receives text, languages,
up to three approved examples and twelve relevant glossary entries for generation.
Connection tests request the installed model list. No model is downloaded by YUZ.
Software: https://github.com/ollama/ollama ; hosted-service terms, if you independently
choose such a service: https://ollama.com/terms and https://ollama.com/privacy .
A local Ollama deployment is not a request to Ollama Cloud. - Google Cloud Translation: optional configured connector, not live-certified in this
release. https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms ; https://cloud.google.com/terms/cloud-privacy-notice - DeepL API: optional configured connector, not live-certified in this release.
https://www.deepl.com/pro-license ; https://www.deepl.com/privacy - OpenAI API: optional translation provider. After administrator configuration,
explicit translations or enabled background jobs send source text, language
instructions, selected model and API authentication to the configured endpoint.
Connection tests and model discovery send authentication to the models endpoint;
no translation text is sent for model discovery. Responses include translations
and token usage, recorded locally for budget accounting. No provider request is
needed to install or activate the plugin. Terms: https://openai.com/policies/services-agreement/
Privacy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/
An administrator-selected compatible API belongs to its own operator, whose
terms and privacy policy must be checked before configuring credentials.
JavaScript dependencies are bundled locally. Opening support links visits GitHub;
no bug report or translation content is automatically transmitted to the maintainer.
Installation
- Back up the database and previous plugin. Try staging first.
- In Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the downloaded YUZ-TRA ZIP and activate it.
- Configure source and target languages in YUZ-TRA.
- Open Strings, scan installed code and filter by domain/language.
- Edit and publish, or select up to five strings for provider translation and review.
- On a WordPress front page, open the visual editor, then Strings to use both panels.
Frequently asked questions
Does it translate a separate non-WordPress front end?
Not by itself. A headless application needs its own translation integration.
Does every third-party string become translatable?
The catalog targets Gettext and WordPress-registered JavaScript translations. Arbitrary API text, images, PDFs and unregistered dynamic JS are not automatically covered.
What does it cost?
This downloadable distribution has no activation fee or included paid feature gate. Translation providers and hosting may charge separately. No paid support plan or guaranteed response time is offered by this package. See PRICING.md.
Are updates automatic?
WordPress.org installations use the standard WordPress update mechanism. For a ZIP installed directly from GitHub, read CHANGELOG.md, back up and upload the new ZIP manually.
What happens to my data when I deactivate or delete it?
Deactivation unschedules YUZ cron. Catalogs, memory, glossary, options and historical logs are retained; deleting plugin files is not a data-erasure operation. Arrange a site-specific export/erasure procedure with your administrator. See PRIVACY.md.
