## FAQ

### Does this work without Polylang?

**No.** This is an addon that adds automatic translation to Polylang. You must install
and configure [Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/) first. Without
Polylang, this plugin will not function at all.

### Why do I need both Polylang and this addon?

**Polylang** handles the multilingual structure (language management, URL structure,
language switcher, manual translations).
 **PolyTranslate AI** handles automatic
content translation (AI-powered translation using OpenAI, DeepL, or Google).

### Is this an official Polylang product?

No. This is an independent third-party addon created to work with Polylang. We are
not affiliated with or endorsed by the Polylang team. We simply integrate with their
excellent language management system.

### Will this work with Polylang Pro?

Yes! This addon works with both the free Polylang and Polylang Pro. It extends either
version with automatic AI translation capabilities.

### Is this plugin completely free?

The core plugin is free with powerful translation features. Premium features (ACF
fields, bulk translation, advanced SEO support) require a license, but you’ll still
save thousands compared to traditional translation methods.

### Can I translate Advanced Custom Fields?

Yes! The premium version fully supports ACF fields including text, textarea, WYSIWYG,
repeater fields, and more. Also supports Meta Box and other custom field plugins.

### Is there a restriction on how many languages I can translate?

No. You can translate to as many languages as you want. Polylang handles the language
management, and this addon translates content between those languages.

### What happens if I uninstall the plugin? Do all translations get lost or are they still there?

All translations will still be there. This plugin only adds automatic translation
capabilities. Once content is translated and saved, it becomes part of your WordPress
database just like any other content.

### Does this plugin support the classic editor?

Yes! This plugin works with both the Classic Editor and Gutenberg block editor.

### Is my content secure?

Absolutely. Your content goes directly from your site to your chosen AI service 
using your API keys. We never see, store, or have access to your content or API 
keys.

### Can I translate WooCommerce stores?

Yes! Both free and premium versions support WooCommerce products. The free version
also includes categories, tags, attributes, and brands. Premium adds advanced WooCommerce
SEO meta translation.

### Does it work with page builders?

Premium version supports Elementor fully. Gutenberg works out of the box. Other 
page builders work for basic content – contact us for specific compatibility questions.
