0:00 This is under, so in my sidebar here, I'm under WPML and Translation Management. For this example site that I'm using, you can see we've got several different post types here.
0:16 interacting with each other, so, uhm, refer to your content plan for exactly which post types and which posts themselves need to be translated.
0:23 Uhm, for demonstration purposes, I'm going to go here to this post, this section here that says post. These are our blog posts.
0:28 Uhm, and you can see I've actually already gone through and translated all of these to Portuguese, but I can still use this for demonstration purposes.
0:38 Uhm, so what you'll do, let's say I only want to translate, uh, these first five, uhm, you can select all of them.
0:46 You can click this button right here and it'll select all of them, uhm, but for demonstration purposes, I will select these five, and then I'm going to scroll down to this, the bottom section here, where step two, translate your content.
1:00 here, I've got this note here that says some of the content you want to translate has already been translated, uhm, if you see this, you can ignore that, uhm, but, uh, for demonstration purposes, we'll pretend that this isn't here.
1:11 What you'll do then is, uhm, it'll give you a little overview, you've selected this many posts, this is how many words there are, you'll select the language you want to translate it into, so in this case, uhm, I'm just translating into Portuguese, you can select Translate Automatically, Translate Yourself
1:27 , you can assign them to a translator, if you've got a specific translator on your team, uh, who has a access to WordPress and you want them to translate it, you can do this that way, uhm, you can, uh, assign a translation service, if depending on how you've got your WPML setup, you can duplicate, or
1:43 you can do nothing, um, which is an interesting choice. Um, most of the time you'll probably want to- translate automatically for your post type, unless you're doing a manual translation.
1:53 And then down here, you've got three different options. You can either wait for review, so sending this as- choosing this option will, uh, send your article into the translation queue, which is- I scroll back up here, if you go to WPML and translations.
2:08 This is where your translation queue lives. Um, so that's one option. You can publish and mark for review, which will go ahead and publish the translation.
2:17 And then put it in the queue. Or you can publish without review. If you trust the WPML AI translator, um, go ahead and just publish.
2:25 And you can still review your post down the line. Um, once you have this selected, you can click translate. Uh, this button will not be gray.
2:33 Um, but once you click translate, it'll take a second. You'll get a little notification that says, do not close out of this window.
2:39 Um, and that's how you can bulk translate your pages. I do recommend going back and reviewing, uh, the translations after they've been translated and especially when it comes to URLs, you'll want to make sure that the URL is what you expect it to be.
2:53 Um, but that's really all there is to translate in content. This is, um, a super easy, uh, step that can make translating post types much faster.
