Create Translation - Plugixa Testimonial for WordPress

Create Translation - Plugixa Testimonial

POST /plugixatestimonial/v1/multilingual/{entity}/{id}/translations

Copy an item into another language, as the starting point of its translation.

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

Note. The copy keeps the source’s text and every other value, status included: the copy of an approved testimonial is approved and shown at once, in the source language until you translate it. A testimonial’s categories and custom field values are copied too. These routes work whether or not WPML or Polylang is active.
