## Description

This plugin allows the user to send a WordPress post or page to Supertext for translation
or proofreading.

**Process for translation**

Supertext can translate content, titles, excerpts, image captions, shortcode arguments
and custom fields. Simply order a translation instead of creating a new page.
 You
will be presented with services, prices and deadlines. Select the right one for 
you. Once completed, the translation will be automatically inserted into a new page
or post in your WordPress installation. You’ll be notified by email once your translated
content has been uploaded to your website. This works for every post type that is
translatable by Polylang or WPML.

**Process for proofreading**

For proofreading your existing page or post, select the option “order proofread”.
You will be presented with services, prices and deadlines.
 Select the right one
for you. Once completed, the proofread text will automatically be inserted into 
your post or page in your WordPress installation.

**Please note**

Translatable custom fields must be defined in the settings. Supported plugins at
the moment are:

 * Advanced Custom Fields
 * Yoast SEO
 * All In One SEO pack

If the field is not available in one of the lists, you can define it by adding self
defined custom fields.

The plugin supports following page builders:

 * Visual Composer
 * Beaver Builder
 * BE page builder
 * Divi page builder
 * SiteOrigin page builder
 * Elementor

We highly recommend to test the translation process for the page builders mentioned
above and for any other that you may use.

## Screenshots

## FAQ

### What do I require to use this plugin?

A valid Supertext customer account for every WordPress user and the corresponding
API key.
 You can create an account at [Supertext](https://www.supertext.com/person/de/account/signin)
if you don’t already have one. Get the API key from the Settings page: [Account Settings](https://www.supertext.com/services/customer/accountsettings)

### How do I order a translation?

 1. Go to the post you would like to be translated by Supertext.
 2. Click on _Order translation_ underneath the target language.
 3. Select the content you want to be translated.
 4. Select the service you want from the prices and deadlines presented. Supertext 
    will translate your post and notify you once the translation has been uploaded 
    to your website.

### How do I order a proofreading?

 1. Go to the post you would like to be proofread by Supertext.
 2. Click on _Order proofread_ underneath the section Proofreading.
 3. Select the content you want to be proofread.
 4. Select the service you want from the prices and deadlines presented. Supertext 
    will proofread your post and notify you once the proofreading has been uploaded

    Supertext.

**How to translate the site title and tagline?**

The site title and the tagline are part of the general settings of your WordPress.
You can translate these texts using the _String translations_ feature of Polylang/
WPML:
 Languages -> Strings translations

Did you translate the site title but it is still displayed in only one language?
In this case you can check if the themes header is using the correct WordPress functions
to get the title/tagline (wp_title() or get_bloginfo()).

### How can I order a translation for image texts only?

 1. Go to the media library (Media->Library).
 2. Select the images you want to order.
 3. Select Order translation from the Bulk Actions drop down.
 4. Click on Apply next to the drop down.
 5. And follow the order process steps.
