Create Translation - Plugixa FAQ

POST /plugixa-faq/v1/multilingual/{entity}/{id}/translations

Copy an item into another language and link the copy to it. You then translate the copy with the normal update endpoint.

Any signed-in user with the plugixa_faq_edit capability or WordPress’s edit_posts (Contributors and up, by default).

Note. The copy takes every column of the source as is, including status and the view and vote counters of a FAQ; its slug gets -<language> appended. Custom field values of a FAQ are not copied. language_code is not checked against the site’s languages.
