My WordPress site uses TranslatePress. Take the page [page name or address] and list its strings in [language, e.g. English] that are untranslated or only machine translated. Translate them naturally for [audience, e.g. visitors from abroad booking a room], keeping brand names, prices and any HTML as they are. Show me the original and your translation side by side and wait for my OK. Then send the translations for my approval and tell me how much of the site is still untranslated.

If Mitos is already in your AI assistant, this is enough:
Translate the untranslated strings of [page] into [language] and show me the list first.
What happens
- The AI assistant checks that the site uses TranslatePress and which languages it has.
- It opens the page once in the other language, as a visitor would, so TranslatePress learns its strings.
- It lists the page's strings with their status: none, machine or reviewed.
- It shows you the translations side by side; once you approve them, in the chat where your AI assistant supports it, otherwise in Mitos, they show on the site at once, marked reviewed.
- It tells you how many strings are still untranslated across the site.
