LW Translate
============

[](#lw-translate)

Manage WordPress translations from community repositories — directly from your admin dashboard.

LW Translate connects to GitHub-hosted translation repositories (like [hellowpio/wordpress-translations](https://github.com/hellowpio/wordpress-translations)) and lets you browse, install, update, and delete translations for your installed plugins and themes with a single click.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Translation browser** — WP\_List\_Table with search, sort, filter, and pagination
- **One-click install/update** — download translation files directly to `WP_LANG_DIR`
- **SHA-based update detection** — compares git blob hashes, no unnecessary downloads
- **Formal & informal tone** — switch between translation variants (e.g. polite vs. familiar)
- **Multi-locale support** — works with any locale available in the repository
- **Bulk actions** — install, update, or delete multiple translations at once
- **Smart caching** — GitHub API responses cached with configurable TTL
- **Safe file operations** — uses `WP_Filesystem` for all writes
