AI Chatbot

The AI chatbot translates all the strings on the current page at once. It’s a single-click operation presented in a friendly chat-style interface — you don’t type prompts or have a back-and-forth conversation. It works the same as running a full-page AI translation, but the chat format makes the process feel more transparent and interactive.

How to Use the AI Chatbot

Open the Visual Editor for the page you want to translate.
Click the chat icon in the editor toolbar to open the chatbot panel.
Select the target language from the dropdown (or choose All Target Languages to translate into every language at once).
The chatbot shows you an estimate of how many words will be used from your quota.
Click Start to begin. Omnalingo immediately sends the page’s strings to its AI translation service. The chat panel shows progress messages while the translation runs.
When the translation is complete, the chatbot shows a summary — how many strings were translated and how many words were used.
The page preview updates automatically to show the new translations.

What Happens Under the Hood

When you click Start, Omnalingo:

Scans the current page to make sure its strings are up to date.
Sends all untranslated strings to the AI translation service.
Saves the results to your site’s translation database.

The chat messages you see while this happens are a progress indicator — they don’t represent a live conversation with an AI. The translation runs in the background and the messages update as results come in.

Reviewing the Results

After translation completes, open the sidebar to check the individual strings. Each translated string will show the AI badge (indicating it was AI-generated and hasn’t been manually reviewed). You can:

Accept the translation as-is — it’s already saved and will appear on your live site.
Edit a string — click on it in the page preview or find it in the sidebar and type your correction. Editing and saving marks it as human-reviewed.

AI translations are a starting point. For important pages, it’s worth reading through the results and adjusting anything that needs a more natural phrasing in your target language.

Translating All Languages at Once

If you select All Target Languages in the language dropdown, the chatbot runs translation into each of your configured languages in sequence. The progress messages reflect the total work across all languages.

The word count estimate shown before you start is the sum across all languages. Make sure you have enough quota before running a multi-language translation.

Quota

Before starting, the chatbot shows a quota bar with three segments:

Used — words already consumed on your current plan.
Estimated — words this translation is expected to use.
Remaining — words left after this run.

If the estimate exceeds your remaining quota, the Start button will be disabled. You can still translate individual strings manually in the visual editor without using quota, or upgrade your plan to increase your word allowance.

When to Use the AI Chatbot vs. Bulk Translation

The AI chatbot and Bulk Translation both use AI to translate content automatically. The difference is scope:

	AI Chatbot	Bulk Translation
Scope	Current page only	All untranslated pages for a language
Live preview	Yes — translations appear in the editor immediately	No — check results by opening the editor afterward
Best for	Translating a single page and reviewing the output on the spot	Processing your entire site in one background run

Troubleshooting

The chatbot shows an error after clicking Start. The most common causes are an invalid or expired API key, or insufficient quota. Check your API key under Omnalingo → Settings → API and your quota usage in the dashboard.

The translation ran but some strings are still empty. The chatbot only translates strings that were found during the page scan. If some strings are still untranslated, they may not have been detected yet — try rescanning the page from the dashboard and running the chatbot again.

The live preview didn’t update after translation. Your translations are saved regardless. Reload the page inside the editor to see them applied.
