Watch a demo video for Checks feature.
These checks run for all translated strings when page loads and when a translation is submitted.
Checks can be set as: Warning & prevent save, Just notification or Don't check.
Notices and labels for checks results
Highlights double spaces and user defined "bad words" (eg. below: link)
To bypass warnings, click
Save / Approve with warnings
Personalize checks as you see fit:
Prevent saving these words is a user defined list of words that if found in a translation will generate a warning. Separated by comma, no space, case insensitive.
TIP: Include a double space string in this field to always prevent the saving of double spaces.
Count and match these is a user defined list of terms or symbols that will be counted both in original and in translation. If counts don't match, a warning will be generated. Separated by comma, no space, case insensitive.
Tag spaces checks will ensure that:
- there are no missing spaces before or after the tag pair. Wrong example:
This is<strong>bold</strong>and nice. - there are no additional spaces inside the tag pair. Wrong example:
This is <strong> bold </strong> and nice.
Filter strings based on warnings:
If your locale uses a different symbol other than . for period, you can set it here. Additional specific locale checks can be added if requested in an issue.
Watch a demo video for History Tools feature.
These are opt-in tools, so go to Settings > History Tools and enable them if you want to use them.
I. History Compare compares the string with a corresponding string from History
| String status | Compared with |
|---|---|
| Old | Current |
| Rejected | Current |
| Waiting | Current |
| Fuzzy | Waiting |
It adds preview and editor label and a diff highlighter in editor.
II. History Count counts (regardless of string status) types of strings in History for the respective string; doesn't count itself. It also checks if there are multiple current translations for the same string and will show a visual status of this check: ❌ or ✔️.
III. History Tools in Translation History enables or disables these tools on History pages opened trough a link.
Watch a demo video for Bulk Consistency Tools feature.
This is an opt-in only for GTEs tool. Even if you activate it, it only fully works for GTEs.

| Action | Shortcut | Alternative Shortcut for Mac |
|---|---|---|
| Fuzzy | Ctrl + * (numeric keyboard) Control + Shift + F |

Chrome, Edge, Opera & Brave - Download from Chrome Web Store
Firefox - Download from Firefox Add-ons
(The Tampermonkey user script version no longer get updates notifications and will not be maintained, so please use the official extension.)
WPGPT asumes by default that you use GlotDict as well and so it disables features that have been imported in GlotDict. If you don't use GlotDict, change this behaviour in Tools Settings. But take a look first at what GlotDict has for you! :)
Your settings are saved locally using LocalStorage so they will remain saved in that browser untill you clear your browser data. To backup and restore WPGPT settings:
- Go to Settings.
- Drag and drop Backup WPGPT Settings to your Bookmarks bar.
- Restore your settings by clicking that bookmark.
- Tooltips overlap for the Quick Links section (should be fixed upstream)
- Personal translation notes & project status snippets
Personal glossary(this is included in WPTranslationFiller extension and GlotDict and I don't plan to overlap features!)- Gradually, some WPGPT features will be implemented in GlotDict, as part of a cross-project initiative. That said, WPGPT will continue to exist for those interested.
- When a feature will be included in GlotPress (the long term plan for as many features as possible) it will be excluded from this extension.
Contributions are welcome, bugreports, suggestions and even pull requests! No limitations, shoot for the stars!
