When using Automatic Translation mode, this plugin loads the Google Translate Widget from Google’s servers.
What this service does: Provides client-side (in-browser) translation of your website content.

Google Cloud API Translation Mode
When using Google Cloud API mode, this plugin sends content to the Google Cloud Translation API for server-side translation.
What this service does: Provides server-side translation of your website content, enabling SEO-friendly translated URLs.
When data is sent:
* When a visitor accesses a translated URL (e.g., /fr/your-page/), the page content is sent to Google for translation

What data is sent:
