Install
Download the LocaleReady zip from your account and upload it in WordPress.
You need an active license and access to the WordPress admin for the site.
Requirements
- PHP 8.1 or newer. That is what the licensing client ships against.
- A WordPress admin you can upload a plugin zip into.
- A DeepL or Google Cloud Translation API key. Nothing translates until one is connected.
The first visitor to a language that still has unstored strings waits on that provider, then the result is saved. Later visitors for those strings are served from your database. Use Tools → Pretranslate if you do not want the first person to wait. See Translate a site.
Download the zip
- Open the account page.
- Enter the email you used at checkout. We send a sign-in link that expires in 15 minutes.
- After you are in, download the plugin zip.
The zip is not listed on a public releases page. Only a signed-in customer with a license can download it.
Upload in WordPress
- In WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin.
- Choose the zip you downloaded and install it.
- Activate the plugin.
Then activate your license so the site can validate and receive updates. After that, get a DeepL or Google API key - LocaleReady will not translate until one is connected.
Updates after install
Once the license is active, WordPress update checks use our licensing API. Only a live release is offered. Pending uploads (from the plugin repo into CloudCatch) stay off the update list until someone promotes them.
