General Settings
The General Settings screen is where you set up the foundation of your translation project: what language your site is written in, what content you want translated, and how Omnalingo manages your language setup.
Source Language
Section titled “Source Language”What it does: Tells Omnalingo what language your site content is written in. All translations go from this language to your target languages.
Default: English (United States)
When to change it: Only if your site is authored in a language other than English. Set this before adding target languages or running your first scan.
Content to Translate
Section titled “Content to Translate”These settings control which parts of your WordPress site Omnalingo scans and translates. You can choose specific content types or let Omnalingo include everything.
Translate All Content
Section titled “Translate All Content”What it does: When enabled, Omnalingo automatically includes all public post types, taxonomy archives, and any future content types you add — without needing to update these settings manually.
Default: Off
When to use it: A good choice for most sites. Enable this if you want Omnalingo to pick up everything without configuration.
Post Types
Section titled “Post Types”What it does: A list of the content types available on your site (Posts, Pages, Products, and any custom post types). Check the ones you want translated.
Default: Nothing selected (unless “Translate All Content” is on)
When to change it: Select the specific post types that have content visitors need in other languages. For example, if you run a WooCommerce store, you’d select Products but might leave internal post types unchecked.
Note: Removing a post type from this list does not delete existing translations — those strings stay in the database and continue to be served on the frontend. Omnalingo just won’t scan that content type again in future scans.
Taxonomies
Section titled “Taxonomies”What it does: Controls whether category pages, tag archives, and custom taxonomy archives are scanned and translated.
Default: Nothing selected
When to use it: Enable the taxonomies that have public archive pages your visitors land on — for example, product categories in a WooCommerce store.
Archives
Section titled “Archives”What it does: Includes date archives, author archives, and custom post type archive pages in your translation scope.
Default: Nothing selected
When to use it: Only needed if visitors regularly browse these archive pages and you want them translated.
Delete Data on Uninstall
Section titled “Delete Data on Uninstall”What it does: When enabled, all of Omnalingo’s translation data, settings, and database tables are permanently removed when you uninstall the plugin.
Default: Off
When to change it: Enable this only if you are removing Omnalingo permanently and do not want to leave anything behind. Leave it off if you might reinstall the plugin later — your translation work will still be there.
