It drafts, translates and reviews articles\nin a brand's own voice, starting from what the brand has already published.\nThis plugin is how those articles reach your site: Cadence sends each finished\npiece to WordPress, usually as a draft for you to review, and links its\nlanguage versions as WPML translations so nobody has to do it by hand.<\/p>\n\n<p>WPML has no documented REST endpoint for creating or linking translated posts,\nso the language variants of a piece never become each other's translations\nwithout somebody linking them by hand. This plugin exposes an endpoint that\nwrites that relationship through WPML's own <code>wpml_set_element_language_details<\/code>\naction, plus endpoints to publish a piece and to replace one it published.<\/p>\n\n<p>Callers authenticate with a connector key issued on the settings screen, not as\na WordPress user, and every request carries an Ed25519 signature over its own\nbytes: the key says a caller may publish here, the signature says this body is\nthe one that caller composed. A request that disagrees with the site's state\nis refused rather than reconciled: a duplicate identifier, a language the site\ndoes not run, a post this key did not publish.<\/p>\n\n<p>Nothing else is added: no post types, no front-end output, no telemetry, and no\nnetwork requests of its own. The plugin never calls out; it only answers.<\/p>\n\n<p>WPML 4.5 or newer is needed for the translation-linking endpoint; only WPML's\ncore plugin is used, not the String Translation or Translation Management\nadd-ons. Monolingual sites run the same plugin with no WPML; which one a site\nis must be declared in the request rather than detected here.<\/p>\n\n<p>Source, full endpoint reference and the security model:\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/Elegia-io\/cadence-wordpress<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Install through <strong>Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>, or upload the plugin directory to\n   wp-content\/plugins\/.<\/li>\n<li>Activate it.
