Statuses & Publication Workflow
Draft, Translated, Approved and Needs Review.
Translation statuses
| Status | Public? | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | No | Saved but not published |
| Translated | Yes | Published translation, typically machine-generated or editor-accepted |
| Approved | Yes | Human-reviewed translation |
| Needs Review | Depends on workflow/context | Source changed or content requires review |
Approved is deliberately reserved for human-reviewed content. Machine auto-publication normally uses Translated.
Publication modes
Safety-checked auto-publish — recommended
Provider output is checked for structural problems. Clean results become Translated; questionable results stay Draft.
Manual review
Every provider result is saved as Draft and requires manual publication.
Publish every successful response
Fastest but least conservative. Every successful provider response is made public.
Source changes
The plugin tracks source hashes. If published source content changes, the associated translation can be moved to Needs Review so editors know the translation may be stale.
