AI Frontend Translation System with Smart Caching

Summary:

Add an AI-powered translation feature that automatically translates all frontend system text into the visitor’s preferred language, while allowing users to manually translate published content such as listings, events, classifieds, articles, deals, reviews, and blog posts. Translations are cached for fast delivery and updated automatically when content changes.

Introduce an integrated AI Frontend Translation System that makes every eDirectory site multilingual without manual translation packs.

1. AI Translation for System Text
   Dynamically translates all frontend system text — menus, buttons, headings, forms, system static pages, and navigation elements — into the visitor’s language.

   • Detects the user’s browser language automatically.

   • Allows manual language selection through a dropdown.

   • Caches translations for instant loading and reduced API cost.

2. User-Triggered Translation for Published Content
   For user-generated content (listings, events, classifieds, articles, deals, reviews, and blog posts), a “Translate” button lets visitors choose whether to view that content in their language.

   • When a visitor clicks translate, AI generates the translation and stores it in cache.

   • Future visitors get the cached version instantly.

   • If the original content changes, AI automatically checks and updates the translation before showing it.

3. Smart Translation Cache & Maintenance

   • Cache per language and per content item.

   • Automatic refresh when system or content text changes.

   • Admin control panel options to manually clear and rebuild translations.

4. Admin Tools & Control

   • Choose which languages to support.

   • Manage API provider (OpenAI, DeepL, or Google Translate).

   • View translation progress and override specific terms or phrases.

5. SEO & Localization Benefits

   • Optional SEO-friendly URLs for each language (e.g., /es/, /fr/).

   • Automatically translates meta titles and descriptions.

Benefits:

• Immediate multilingual accessibility for global visitors.

• No need for separate translation files or manual updates.

• Keeps system text current and accurate.

• Reduces translation costs through caching and smart refreshing.

• Greatly improves international SEO and user experience.
