My site uses TranslatePress with [English] as a second language. Show me how much of the site is untranslated, machine translated or reviewed in English. Then find in Google Analytics the [10] English pages, under [/en/], with the most visits over the last [90] days. For the top [3], prepare them, list their strings and translate what is missing or only machine translated, naturally, keeping prices, names and HTML as they are. Show me the translations before sending them for my approval.

If SAR is already in your AI app, this is enough:
Translate the [3] most visited [English] pages first, with TranslatePress.
What happens
- The AI app reads how many of the strings TranslatePress has seen are untranslated, machine translated or reviewed, site-wide.
- It runs a Google Analytics report of the most visited pages in your second language.
- It opens each chosen page once in that language, as a visitor would, so TranslatePress learns its strings; visitors see no change.
- It lists each page's strings with their status and shows you the translations next to the originals.
- Once you approve them in SAR, up to 100 translations at a time show on the site at once, marked reviewed; they can be undone for 30 days.

What you get
Your translation effort spent where visitors actually are, and a site-wide count to track progress. Pages that get few foreign visits can wait for a later round.
