What it will do for your WordPress.
Six things you'll stop doing by hand.
WooCommerce
Translate WooCommerce products
Product names, descriptions and short descriptions, one at a time or the whole catalogue at once. Your shop, in real Catalan.
Proofreading
Proofread as you write
Spelling, grammar, style and typography, with the reason for every change. In Central Catalan, Valencian or Balearic. You decide what to accept.
One click
Translate the whole site in one click
Escalf scans the site and tells you what still needs translating and what has gone out of date. You choose what to translate and how (with the glossary, ACF fields, title and slug, and proofreading the result), and translations are saved as drafts for you to review.
Works with WPML and Polylang
Translations are saved as the Catalan version of each item, linked to the original. You keep working with your multilingual plugin as usual.
Works with Advanced Custom Fields
It also translates and proofreads your ACF custom fields, not just the title and content. Nothing gets left in another language.
The burners.
Four models, each good at one thing. Language technology made here, for Catalan.
