EffortLess Multisite Auto Translate is a Network-Activated plugin for WordPress Multisite. When a post, page, or custom post type is published or updated on one site in the network (the \"source\" site), the plugin sends its title, content, categories, and tags to your chosen translation provider (OpenAI or DeepL) and creates or updates a matching translated copy on each of the network's other sites you've selected as a \"destination\". Translation runs in the background via WordPress Cron (or Action Scheduler, if another active plugin provides it), not during the page save itself.<\/p>\n\n
Content is translated block by block: each Gutenberg block is sent to the API and reassembled individually, so block structure, attributes, and nested layouts (columns, groups, galleries) survive translation. Shortcodes and A running character-usage total (this month + lifetime) is shown above the API key fields once translation has run at least once \u2014 a rough usage indicator, not exact billing; check your provider's own dashboard for that.<\/p>\n\n A \"Translation Status\" box also appears in the post editor's sidebar (source site only) showing each destination's status for the post you're editing, without a trip to Network Admin.<\/p>\n\n Bulk Translate All Posts, Force Re-translate All (clears retry\/failure counters and re-sends everything, skipping the translation memory: the most expensive action), Sync Design & Templates (switches every destination site's active theme to match the source, network-enabling it first if needed, then copies global styles, site icon, logo, and queues templates\/patterns for translation \u2014 a confirmation dialog states the theme change before you proceed), Resync Media Links (also runs automatically whenever the Shared Media Library setting changes), Clean Destinations (removes orphaned translations and non-translation content added directly on a destination site), Flush Permalinks, and Emergency Stop (cancels every pending translation). Stuck queue entries clear themselves automatically within about an hour \u2014 there's no separate cleanup button for that.<\/p>\n\n This plugin sends content to your chosen translation provider's API in order to translate it \u2014 this is the plugin's core function and cannot be disabled while automatic or manual translation is used. Only the provider you've selected in Settings is ever contacted.<\/p>\n\n OpenAI<\/strong> ( OpenAI Batch API<\/strong> ( DeepL<\/strong> ( WordPress AI Client<\/strong> (WordPress 7.0+ only) \u2014 used when Translation Provider is set to \"WordPress AI Client\". The same title\/content\/taxonomy names as above are sent, but to whichever external AI provider your site has configured under Settings \u2192 Connectors, not to this plugin or its developer \u2014 this plugin never sees that provider's identity, endpoint, or API key, only the result. Check your configured Connectors provider's own terms of use and privacy policy.<\/p>\n\n Either way, this happens every time a post is published or updated on the configured source site, and whenever \"Bulk Translate All Posts\" or a manual per-post translation is triggered. No personal visitor data, and no data from any site other than the post being translated, is sent. Using OpenAI or DeepL requires your own API key for that provider (entered in the plugin's settings); using the WordPress AI Client instead defers entirely to whatever provider and credentials your site's Connectors screen has configured. Either way this is billed to your own account directly \u2014 the plugin developer has no access to your key, your account, or the content sent.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes, an active OpenAI API key with available credit. Create one at platform.openai.com\/api-keys. The plugin does not work without one.<\/p><\/dd>\n Cost is billed by OpenAI directly, not by this plugin, and depends on your chosen model and the length of your content. Check OpenAI's own current pricing at openai.com\/api\/pricing before enabling automatic translation on a large site.<\/p>\n\n What keeps it down: every translated sentence and block is kept in the translation memory, so a post saved again, a retry, or Translate All Posts only sends what changed. Editing a glossary term forgets only the saved translations that contain that term. Changing the model, the translation style or the Additional Instructions forgets them all, so the next run translates everything again. \"Force Re-translate All\" skips the memory on purpose and is the most expensive action. \"Use OpenAI's Batch API\" halves the price of automatic translations, which then take up to 24 hours. To cap spending whatever happens, set a monthly budget on the project of your API key in your OpenAI account.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Shortcodes are preserved exactly as written, including their attributes and values \u2014 only the surrounding text is translated.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, translation is done block by block so structure and attributes are preserved. Classic-editor (non-block) content is translated as a single unit.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes \u2014 use \"Bulk Translate All Posts\" under Tools to translate everything already published on the source site.<\/p><\/dd>\n It's retried automatically up to twice with an increasing delay. After 10 total failures for the same post on the same destination, the plugin stops retrying and marks it \"abandoned\" in the Status tab; hover the cell to see the last error. It is tried again when the source post is edited and saved, with \"Translate now\" in the editor or on its row of the Status tab, or with Status \u2192 Retry \u2192 Abandoned. A rate limit or a service that does not answer is waited for instead: retried after 1 and 3 minutes, then every 10 minutes (or when OpenAI says the limit resets), without counting as a failure; the Status tab shows the next try, and the API tab shows your OpenAI limits. If the error comes from the translation service (key, credit, model, or 5 failures in a row), translations are paused instead and resume when you save the API configuration or click \"Resume translations\".<\/p><\/dd>\n Click \"Emergency Stop\" under Tools. This cancels every pending translation job.<\/p><\/dd>\n Click \"Flush Permalinks\" under Tools to regenerate rewrite rules on every site in the network.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes \u2014 uncheck \"Enable automatic translations\" in Settings. Manual translation from the block editor's EffortLess Multisite Auto Translate panel still works.<\/p><\/dd>\ncore\/html<\/code> blocks are left untouched rather than translated. A Glossary lets you pin specific terms (brand names, proper nouns) to a fixed translation, or to \"do not translate,\" per destination site if needed.<\/p>\n\nWhat gets translated<\/h4>\n\n

The menu lists those your OpenAI API key may use, read from OpenAI's model list (GET \/v1\/models<\/code>, kept 12 hours per key and read again when the key is saved and with \"Test API Key\"); when that list cannot be read, every model is listed. The GPT-5 and GPT-6 models are reasoning models: they are sent max_completion_tokens<\/code> and their lowest reasoning effort (minimal<\/code> for gpt-5-nano and gpt-5-mini, none<\/code> for gpt-5.4-mini, low<\/code> for gpt-6-luna) instead of max_tokens<\/code> and a temperature, and their reasoning is billed as output tokens. gpt-4o<\/code> is no longer offered; a site already using it keeps it until another model is chosen.
