Delete Pseudo-translations in WordPress

A guide to using the WordPress plug-in for translation.

Delete Pseudo-translations or Unwanted Translations

Depending on where your pseudo-translated or unwanted content is you will have to do the following steps for pages or posts:

  1. Go to All Pages and select the language of your pseudo-translated files
  2. Select the items you wish to retranslate, select Move to Trash and click Apply
  3. Now that they are in the trash, you can delete the items permanently
  4. Click Empty Trash. If you have items in the Trash that you don’t want to delete, you can select the items you want to delete individually and select Delete Permanently from the Bulk Actions drop-down

Then you will be able to send the items for translation again.
