Unidirectional Translation Logic

Joomtastic AI Translate follows a unidirectional translation logic.

This means:

The source language always acts as the master version, and all target language versions are generated and updated based on that source content.

What this means in practice

If editors manually change content in target languages, these changes may be overwritten during future retranslations of the source content.

For this reason, it is recommended to define a clear editorial workflow and review process before working with production content.

This is intentional and ensures consistent synchronization across all languages.

Disable translation for specific articles

Fortunately, individual articles can be excluded from retranslation (or from the AI Translate workflow in general). To do this, simply open the Associations tab of the respective target article and enable the checkbox "Disable AI Translate".
