Assign one or more languages to a user and they can only edit content in those languages, while still being able to read the source language to translate from it. * **Per-language editing.** A translator can edit only the languages assigned to them. Other languages stay readable but cannot be changed (fail-closed: enforced at the capability level, so it also covers the block editor / REST API, quick edit, bulk edit and page builders). * **A clean working view.** A restricted translator’s post lists default to their own language, so their content is always front and centre, instead of the all- languages mix. A “To translate into X” view filters to the source-language posts, where Polylang’s own “+” creates the translation. * **Composes with your roles.** LangDesk only restricts by language. Whether a user can publish or only submit for review still follows their WordPress role. Site managers (manage_options) are never restricted. Requires the free [Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/) plugin. ## Capturas [⌊Assigning allowed languages on a user's profile.⌉⌊Assigning allowed languages on a user's profile.⌉[ Assigning allowed languages on a user’s profile.

Install and activate Polylang, and configure your languages. 2. Install LangDesk: Plugins > Add New > Upload, then activate. 3. Edit a user’s profile and choose their allowed languages under “LangDesk: Translation Languages”. Give translators a non-administrator role such as Editor, Author or Contributor. LangDesk never restricts site managers (anyone who can manage the whole site, like an Administrator), so a translator on an Administrator role is not limited by language. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Does it work with the free Polylang or only Polylang Pro? It works with both the free Polylang and Polylang Pro. ### What happens to a user with no language assigned? Nothing changes for them. A user is restricted only once at least one language is assigned. Site managers (manage_options) are never restricted. ### Can a translator still see the source content to translate from it? Yes. Reading is never blocked; only writing other languages is. A “To translate into X” view lists the source-language posts, where Polylang’s own “+” creates the translation. ### My translator can still edit every language. Why? LangDesk never restricts site managers, that is any user who can manage the whole site (Administrators and anyone with the manage_options capability). Give the translator a role such as Editor, Author or Contributor instead of Administrator. ## Comentarios ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/540da80f40e6893141da98292420718255df2d6be8b2c17f2f577bd3d5901d26? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A clean plugin.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-clean-plugin-2/)󠁿 [Halil Kaya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gencmedya/) 29 de Xuño, 2026 The Polylang plugin makes managing the process really easy.
