Translate the whole site

Without this step, a page is translated the first time someone opens it in a language. That first visitor may wait a few seconds. To prepare everything in advance:

1. Open Translate > Tools.
2. Click Translate the whole site now.
3. Keep the screen open: a progress bar shows each page as it is translated. You can stop at any time and start again later.

At the end you see how many pages were translated and how many characters were sent to the service. Run it again after adding a language: pages already translated cost nothing.

Translations are kept in your database. If you uninstall the plugin they stay there, unless you choose to delete them.
