# Plugin Abstraction Layer - Integration Guide

**Version:** 3.0.0  
**Date:** 2026-02-07  
**Purpose:** Enable translate-press-zone to work with any multilingual plugin

---

## 🎯 Overview

The **IMultilingualBridge** abstraction layer allows `translate-press-zone` (AI translation engine) to work with **any** multilingual plugin:

- ✅ **Multilingual Press Zone** (our plugin)
- ✅ **WPML** (most popular)
- ✅ **Polylang** (free alternative)
- ✅ **TranslatePress** (visual editor)

This makes translate-press-zone the **only AI translation tool** that works with all major multilingual plugins.

## 🏗️ Architecture

```
translate-press-zone
    └── BridgeFactory::getInstance()
         ├── Auto-detects active plugin
         ├── Returns appropriate adapter
         └── Caches result (5 min TTL)

Adapters (implement IMultilingualBridge):
    ├── MPZAdapter (multilingual-press-zone)
    ├── WPMLAdapter (WPML)
    ├── PolylangAdapter (Polylang)
    ├── TranslatePressAdapter (TranslatePress)
    └── NullAdapter (graceful fallback)
```

## 📦 Integration Steps for translate-press-zone

### Step 1: Add Interface Dependency

Copy the interface to translate-press-zone:

```bash
cp includes/Interfaces/IMultilingualBridge.php \
   ../translate-press-zone/includes/Interfaces/
```

### Step 2: Update translate-press-zone Code

Replace all direct WPML calls with bridge pattern:

**Before (WPML-only):**
```php
// Old code - WPML-specific
$languages = apply_filters('wpml_active_languages', null);
$translation = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $post_id, 'post', false, $lang);
```

**After (Universal):**
```php
// New code - Works with any plugin
use MultilingualPressZone\Factories\BridgeFactory;

$bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();
$languages = $bridge->getActiveLanguages();
$translation = $bridge->getTranslation($post_id, 'post', $lang);
```

### Step 3: Create Adapters for Other Plugins

**WPMLAdapter** (in translate-press-zone):
```php
<?php
namespace TranslatePressZone\Adapters;

use MultilingualPressZone\Interfaces\IMultilingualBridge;

class WPMLAdapter implements IMultilingualBridge
{
    public function getActiveLanguages(): array
    {
        $languages = apply_filters('wpml_active_languages', null);
        
        return array_map(function ($lang) {
            return [
                'code' => $lang['code'],
                'name' => $lang['translated_name'],
                'native_name' => $lang['native_name'],
                'flag' => $lang['country_flag_url'],
                'is_default' => $lang['default_locale'] === get_locale(),
            ];
        }, $languages);
    }

    public function getTranslation(int $contentId, string $contentType, string $targetLanguage): ?int
    {
        $translation = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $contentId, $contentType, false, $targetLanguage);
        return $translation ? (int) $translation : null;
    }
    
    // ... implement all IMultilingualBridge methods
}
```

**PolylangAdapter** (in translate-press-zone):
```php
<?php
namespace TranslatePressZone\Adapters;

use MultilingualPressZone\Interfaces\IMultilingualBridge;

class PolylangAdapter implements IMultilingualBridge
{
    public function getActiveLanguages(): array
    {
        $languages = pll_languages_list(['fields' => '']);
        
        return array_map(function ($lang) {
            return [
                'code' => $lang->slug,
                'name' => $lang->name,
                'native_name' => $lang->name,
                'flag' => $lang->flag_url,
                'is_default' => $lang->is_default,
            ];
        }, $languages);
    }

    public function getTranslation(int $contentId, string $contentType, string $targetLanguage): ?int
    {
        $translation = pll_get_post($contentId, $targetLanguage);
        return $translation ? (int) $translation : null;
    }
    
    // ... implement all IMultilingualBridge methods
}
```

### Step 4: Update BridgeFactory

Update the factory to look in translate-press-zone for adapters:

```php
// In BridgeFactory::detectPlugin()

// Priority 2: WPML
if (self::isWPMLActive()) {
    if (class_exists('\\TranslatePressZone\\Adapters\\WPMLAdapter')) {
        return '\\TranslatePressZone\\Adapters\\WPMLAdapter';
    }
}

// Priority 3: Polylang
if (self::isPolylangActive()) {
    if (class_exists('\\TranslatePressZone\\Adapters\\PolylangAdapter')) {
        return '\\TranslatePressZone\\Adapters\\PolylangAdapter';
    }
}
```

## 🔧 Usage Examples

### Example 1: Get Active Languages

```php
use MultilingualPressZone\Factories\BridgeFactory;

$bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();
$languages = $bridge->getActiveLanguages();

foreach ($languages as $lang) {
    echo sprintf(
        '%s (%s) %s',
        $lang['name'],
        $lang['code'],
        $lang['is_default'] ? '[DEFAULT]' : ''
    );
}
```

### Example 2: Create Translation Link

```php
$bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();

// After AI translates a post
$success = $bridge->linkTranslation(
    $originalPostId,    // Source post
    $translatedPostId,  // Translated post
    'post',             // Content type
    'en',               // Source language
    'es'                // Target language
);

if ($success) {
    echo 'Translation linked successfully!';
}
```

### Example 3: Get Translation

```php
$bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();

// Get Spanish version of post
$spanishPostId = $bridge->getTranslation($postId, 'post', 'es');

if ($spanishPostId) {
    $spanishPost = get_post($spanishPostId);
    echo $spanishPost->post_title;
} else {
    echo 'No Spanish translation found';
}
```

### Example 4: Check Translation Status

```php
$bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();

$status = $bridge->getTranslationStatus($postId, 'post', 'fr');

switch ($status) {
    case 'translated':
        echo 'French translation exists';
        break;
    case 'pending':
        echo 'French translation in progress';
        break;
    case 'needs_update':
        echo 'French translation outdated';
        break;
    case 'none':
        echo 'No French translation';
        break;
}
```

### Example 5: Get All Translations

```php
$bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();

$translations = $bridge->getAllTranslations($postId, 'post');

foreach ($translations as $languageCode => $translatedId) {
    $post = get_post($translatedId);
    echo sprintf(
        '[%s] %s (ID: %d)<br>',
        $languageCode,
        $post->post_title,
        $translatedId
    );
}
```

## 🔍 Detection Logic

**Priority Order:**
1. **MPZ** - If multilingual-press-zone is active
2. **WPML** - If WPML is active
3. **Polylang** - If Polylang/Polylang Pro is active
4. **TranslatePress** - If TranslatePress is active
5. **NullAdapter** - Fallback (returns empty data)

**Detection Method:**
```php
// Check for class existence
if (class_exists('\\MultilingualPressZone\\Core\\Plugin')) {
    return MPZAdapter::class;
}

// Check for constants
if (defined('ICL_SITEPRESS_VERSION')) {
    return WPMLAdapter::class;
}

// Check for functions
if (function_exists('pll_languages_list')) {
    return PolylangAdapter::class;
}
```

## ⚡ Performance Optimizations

### 1. Caching Strategy

All adapters use **WP Object Cache** with 1-hour TTL:

```php
// Cache active languages (expensive query)
$cached = wp_cache_get('mpz_active_languages', 'mpz_bridge');
if ($cached !== false) {
    return $cached;
}

// ... fetch from DB ...

wp_cache_set('mpz_active_languages', $languages, 'mpz_bridge', 3600);
```

### 2. Direct DB Access

MPZAdapter uses direct SQL queries instead of WP_Query:

```php
// Fast: Direct SQL
$translationId = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare(
    "SELECT element_id FROM {$translationsTable} WHERE ..."
));

// Slow: WP_Query (avoid)
$query = new WP_Query(['meta_query' => [...]]);
```

### 3. Singleton Pattern

BridgeFactory uses singleton to avoid re-detection:

```php
// Only detects once per request
$bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();
```

### 4. Cache Invalidation

Caches are invalidated on updates:

```php
private function invalidateTranslationCache(int $contentId): void
{
    wp_cache_delete("mpz_translation_{$contentId}", 'mpz_bridge');
}
```

## 🧪 Testing

### Unit Tests

```php
public function test_get_active_languages()
{
    $bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();
    $languages = $bridge->getActiveLanguages();
    
    $this->assertIsArray($languages);
    $this->assertArrayHasKey('code', $languages[0]);
    $this->assertArrayHasKey('name', $languages[0]);
}

public function test_get_translation()
{
    $bridge = BridgeFactory::getInstance();
    
    // Create test post
    $postId = $this->factory->post->create();
