Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

How It Works

  • Add your Langbly API key to wp-config.php
  • Select “Langbly” as your translation provider in Loco Translate
  • Click “Auto-translate” in the Loco editor. Done!

External Services

This plugin connects to the Langbly translation API to provide machine translations within the Loco Translate editor.

What it does: When you click “Auto-translate” in Loco Translate with Langbly selected as the provider, the plugin sends the source text and target language to the Langbly API and receives translated text back.

What data is sent: The source strings you are translating, the source language code, the target language code, and your API key (for authentication). Data is sent only when you actively request a translation.
