This GraphQL query helps create a Multilingual site where every site is the translation for some language. The content is based on the Classic editor, and it is most suitable with a WordPress multisite network .
The query must be executed on the master site (with source content), which must have the PRO plugin. All other sites in the network can have the free Gato GraphQL plugin.
An Application Password is used to connect to the network sites. Make sure to provide the $username
and $appPassword
variables for a user with access to all sites.
The query retrieves the language from the main site and from the external site, and compares them:
If they are the same, simply replicate all pages
If they are different, replicate all pages with translated content
(This way, if the main site has en
language, and another site in the network also has en
, all pages are still replicated.)
Then it grabs the pages from the master site, and (if required) translates them all at once to the destination site's language, by executing a single call to the Google Translate API.
Finally it creates all those pages in the external site.

# === Description ===
#
# This Persisted GraphQL query helps create a Multilingual site
# where every site is the translation for some language. The content
# is based on the Classic editor, and it is most suitable with a
# WordPress multisite network.
#
# It must be executed on the master site, which must have the PRO plugin.
# All other sites in the network can have the free Gato GraphQL plugin.
#
# The query retrieves the language from the main site and from the external
# site, and compares them:
#
# - If they are the same, simply replicate all pages
# - If they are different, replicate all pages with translated content
#
# (This way, if the main site has "en" language, and another site in
# the network also has "en", all pages are still replicated.)
#
# Then it grabs all the pages from the master site, and (if required) it
# translates them all at once (in bulk) to the destination site's language,
# by executing a single call to the Google Translate API.
#
# Finally it creates all those pages in the external site.
