PLUGIN INFORMATION
What the plugin does
Plugin capabilities
- Per-language capability enforcement for translators: users can only edit languages assigned to them; other languages remain readable but cannot be changed (fail-closed at the capability level).
- Coverage of multiple editing surfaces: the language restriction is stated to also cover the block editor/REST API, quick edit, bulk edit, and page builders.
- Restricted translator post-list views: restricted users’ post lists default to their own language, and a “To translate into X” view filters to source-language posts for translation.
- Role composition: publishing vs submitting for review continues to follow the user’s WordPress role; LangDesk restricts only by language.
- Site-manager exemption: users with the manage_options capability are never restricted by language (Administrators and anyone with manage_options).
- No restriction until languages are assigned: users with no language assigned experience no change; restrictions apply only once at least one language is assigned.

LangDesk: Translation Roles for Polylang capabilities and translatable content are documented separately.
Official documentation describes the plugin functionality, but does not currently identify specific text shown to visitors that can be translated.
