WordPress AI Abilities

From WordPress 7.0, plugins can register AI Abilities through the Abilities API. Gato AI Translations for Polylang registers an ability for each translatable entity type:

• Custom posts (posts, pages, and any CPT translated by Polylang)
• Taxonomy terms (tags, categories, custom taxonomies)
• Media items
• Menus
• Users

Once your site exposes these abilities, AI agents like Claude Code can trigger translations directly from a natural-language prompt — no GraphQL query, no WP-CLI command needed.

​

Example prompts

You can ask the agent to translate by name:

Translate post with title "How to onboard new editors"

…or to a specific language only:

Translate post with title "How to onboard new editors" to French only

…or to skip translating content and only remap entity references:

Translate post with title "How to onboard new editors" but skip translating content, only replace entity reference IDs

The same shapes work for taxonomy terms, media, menus and users — replace "post" with the entity type.

Whenever the prompt does not indicate a specific configuration (language, content parts, etc.), the plugin uses the default configuration from the plugin Settings.
