详情介绍:
LangDesk turns a multilingual Polylang site into a tidy workspace for translation
teams. Assign one or more languages to a user and they can only edit content in
those languages, while still being able to read the source language to translate
from it.
- Per-language editing. A translator can edit only the languages assigned to them. Other languages stay readable but cannot be changed (fail-closed: enforced at the capability level, so it also covers the block editor / REST API, quick edit, bulk edit and page builders).
- A clean working view. A restricted translator's post lists default to their own language, so their content is always front and centre, instead of the all-languages mix. A "To translate into X" view filters to the source-language posts, where Polylang's own "+" creates the translation.
- Composes with your roles. LangDesk only restricts by language. Whether a user can publish or only submit for review still follows their WordPress role. Site managers (manage_options) are never restricted.
安装:
- Install and activate Polylang, and configure your languages.
- Install LangDesk: Plugins > Add New > Upload, then activate.
- Edit a user's profile and choose their allowed languages under "LangDesk: Translation Languages".

常见问题:
Does it work with the free Polylang or only Polylang Pro?
It works with both the free Polylang and Polylang Pro.
What happens to a user with no language assigned?
Nothing changes for them. A user is restricted only once at least one language is assigned. Site managers (manage_options) are never restricted.
Can a translator still see the source content to translate from it?
Yes. Reading is never blocked; only writing other languages is. A "To translate into X" view lists the source-language posts, where Polylang's own "+" creates the translation.
My translator can still edit every language. Why?
LangDesk never restricts site managers, that is any user who can manage the whole site (Administrators and anyone with the manage_options capability). Give the translator a role such as Editor, Author or Contributor instead of Administrator.
