LazyBlog

Markdown-first tooling for publishing and maintaining a multilingual WordPress blog with local AI workflows, media cleanup, and a lightweight translation plugin.

LazyBlog is built around a simple idea: write in Markdown, keep the source of truth close to your thinking, then publish to WordPress with images, categories, language metadata, and reviewed translations.

Quick Start

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lazyingart/LazyBlog.git
cd LazyBlog
cp .env.example .env
$EDITOR .env
python3 -m py_compile scripts/*.py

If you already cloned without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Publish a draft from any project:

./lazypub publish article.md --source-language en --status draft --dry-run
./lazypub publish article.md --source-language en --status draft

Publish with reviewed translations:

./lazypub publish article.md \
  --source-language en \
  --translation ja=translations/article.ja.md \
  --translation zh=translations/article.zh.md \
  --status draft

Generate first-pass translations with Codex:

./lazypub publish article.md \
  --source-language en \
  --auto-translate ja zh \
  --upload-media \
  --remove-dead-images \
  --status draft

Mirror live category names/slugs before refreshing the Docker test site:

python3 scripts/sync_live_categories.py --dry-run
python3 scripts/sync_live_categories.py
./scripts/publish_local_wordpress.sh

WordPress Plugin

LazyBlog Translations is included in:

wordpress-plugins/lazyblog-translations/

That path is a Git submodule pointing to https://github.com/lazyingart/lazyblog-translations, so clicking it on GitHub opens the standalone plugin repository.

It stores translations as post meta, renders a small language switcher, and can request a missing translation from one of three providers:

• Codex through the local LazyBlog API
• OpenAI direct API
• DeepSeek direct API

Run a local WordPress test site:

docker compose up -d
scripts/setup_local_wordpress.sh

Prepare the local Codex translation API:

scripts/install_lazyblog_translation_api.sh --model gpt-5.4 --reasoning low

OpenAI and DeepSeek provider modes do not need the local API service.

Multilingual Documentation

Translations live in i18n/:

• 中文 (简体)
• 日本語

The code and plugin support broader language metadata, including English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, and Russian.
