## Description

**Why Use This Plugin?**

When sharing links with titles in non-English languages (e.g., Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi,
Chinese, or Russian) on platforms like Facebook or WhatsApp, the URLs often turn
into a confusing string of codes. This makes your links look unprofessional, reduces
click-through rates, and can harm your SEO.

The Automatic Slug Translator fixes this issue by seamlessly translating slugs into
concise English. Not only does this make your links visually appealing and user-
friendly, but it also enhances your website’s search engine performance with clear,
descriptive URLs.

**Key Benefits:**
 – **Improves Sharing:** Makes links cleaner and more attractive
on social platforms. – **Boosts SEO:** Search engines favor clear, readable URLs.–**
Simplifies Titles:** Long, complex titles are automatically shortened into elegant
slugs.

**Example:**
 – **Original Title (Hebrew):** איך להשתמש בממיר אוטומטי לסלאג באנגלית–**
Default Slug:** /איך-להשתמש-בממיר-אוטומטי-לסלאג-באנגלית – **Broken URL:** /%D7%90%
D7%99%D7%9A-%D7%9C%D7%94%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9… – **Clean English Slug:** /how-
to-use-automatic-slug-converter

This small adjustment can have a big impact on how your content is shared and discovered.

**Clean English Slugs — Instantly, with AI**

No setup required. This plugin uses AI to automatically translate your post titles
and terms into elegant, SEO-friendly English slugs.
 You get **100 translations 
for free**, and then you can connect your own AI account (GPT, Claude or Gemini)
to keep going.

**Bulk Translation**

Already have existing content with non-English slugs? Use the Bulk Translation feature
to translate them all at once – with optional 301 redirects to keep your SEO intact.
Review and manage redirects anytime in the dedicated Redirects tab.

**WordPress 7.0+ Connectors Support**

On WordPress 7.0 and above, the plugin integrates with the built-in Connectors API–
connect any supported AI provider directly from WordPress settings, no API key needed
in the plugin.

### Usage

### Try It Instantly — No OpenAI Account Needed

 * Install and activate the plugin — that’s it!
 * You can start using the plugin immediately with **100 free translations** included.

### Want More? Connect Your Own API Key

After using your 100 free translations, you can continue seamlessly by connecting
your own AI provider:

**Option 1 – Connect OpenAI directly:**

 1. Sign up for OpenAI and add billing details
 2. Generate an API key from the API Keys page
 3. Paste the API key into the plugin settings

**Option 2 – Use WordPress Connectors (if supported on your site):**
 If your WordPress
installation supports AI Connectors, you can connect other AI providers as well.
Simply configure your preferred provider via the Connectors interface and the plugin
will use it automatically.

This gives you flexibility to work with different AI services beyond OpenAI.

### Configuration

 * In the plugin settings screen, choose which **post types** and **taxonomies**
   you want to enable translation for.

### How It Works

 1. **Automatic Translation**
 2.  * New posts and taxonomy terms automatically get a clean English slug
     * Slugs are generated only if you don’t define one manually
 3. **Review Translations**
 4.  * Generated slugs are designed to be short and clear
     * Double-check that the meaning is preserved, especially for ambiguous titles

### Costs

The plugin is completely free to use, and includes 100 slug translations at no cost.
After you’ve used the free quota you’ll need a paid AI subscription to continue.

 * **Affordable Rates:** For just $1, you can translate between 10,000–20,000 titles,
   depending on their length.
 * **[Check OpenAI Pricing](https://openai.com/pricing):** Ensure your account is
   funded before use.

**Disclaimer:** While the plugin has been tested to be efficient and cost-effective,
users are responsible for monitoring their OpenAI usage and costs. The plugin creator
is not liable for unexpected charges due to misuse or errors.

### Third-Party Services

This plugin integrates with OpenAI’s API to generate text-based responses and suggestions
based on user input.
 The plugin transmits post/CPT titles, term names, and the 
requesting server’s IP address to OpenAI’s servers when a request is made.

When using the free built-in translation quota, your post titles, term names, and
domain are sent to the developer’s server to process the translation and track usage.
No personal data is collected or stored.

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin through the WordPress admin plugins screen or upload the plugin
    files to `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
 3. Configure the plugin in the settings screen under “Settings > Slug Translator”.

## FAQ

### What should I do if slugs are not being translated?

 * Check if you’ve used up your free translation quota.
 * Ensure you have enabled the relevant post types and taxonomies in the plugin 
   settings.
 * Verify that your API key is valid and correctly configured.
 * Make sure your connected AI provider account has an active payment method and
   sufficient usage credits or balance.
 * Check for potential service disruptions on OpenAI’s [status page](https://status.openai.com),
   as temporary downtime may cause translation issues.

### Can I use the plugin without an OpenAI account?

Yes! Each site gets **100 free translations**. You can start using the plugin right
away – no API key or registration required.

Once your free quota is used up, you’ll see a notice inviting you to enter your 
own API key to continue.

### How do I know how many free translations I have left?

Your remaining quota is displayed in the plugin’s settings screen. Once you reach
the limit, the plugin will prompt you to connect your own OpenAI account.

### What happens when I run out of free translations?

Slug translation will stop unless you connect your AI provider API key. You’ll see
a message in the settings area with instructions on how to continue using the plugin.

### Can I Translate Slugs in Bulk?

Yes! The Bulk Translation tab lets you translate existing post and term slugs in
batches. The plugin can also create 301 redirects automatically to preserve SEO.
You can review and manage all redirects in the dedicated Redirects tab.
 For bulk
translations, you’ll need to connect your own AI provider.

### What happens if I deactivate or delete the plugin?

No worries – slugs that were already translated will stay exactly as they are. Your
links won’t break, and your content will remain accessible. However, new slugs won’t
be translated automatically until you reinstall or reactivate the plugin.

If you created 301 redirects during bulk slug updates, those redirects may stop 
working once the plugin is deactivated or removed, so you should recreate them using
another method.

אני עובד עם מערכת פרסום אוטומטית שלא יודעת לתרגם סלאגים. עד עכשיו הייתי מתרגם כל
פעם ידנית ובזכותכם התהליך אוטומטי 100%. התרגומים איכותיים והעדכון החדש 1.0 שעושה
את הרידיירקטים+תרגום.. שאלתי את עצמי על האפשרות הזאת ויום אחרי אני רואה שהבאתם את
זה בדיוק. מדהים!

I registered this account specifically to rate you. It really took a long time because
wordpress.org's spam filter kept catching my email, but I persisted because this
plugin is so useful! As a user from China, I also want to say a huge thank you for
this amazing tool. I’ve been following the news and am aware of the difficult situation
in the Middle East right now. Even though it feels geographically far from me, I
can only imagine how tough things must be. I noticed you are a Hebrew speaker/developer.
I just wanted to leave this message to say: stay safe, Elchanan. I truly hope you
and your family are doing well during these times. Looking forward to seeing you
back when things settle down!

Unfortunately, it works for me only when I activate classic editor. In gutenberg
editor it doesn't work. But the idea of the plugin is really cool!
