Hello,

Internal GraphQL server
Persisted queries
Polylang integration

What is the meaning of these terms and what do they do?

So this helps me in querying my WordPress site database visually instead of writing mysql, is this what it is? Can't I query directly? Also it can be installed in WordPress dashboard like other plug-ins, right? And then I can work by clicking on plug-in in left hand menu?

A: Hi,

Internal GraphQL server: You can execute queries against the GraphQL server directly from within your application, using PHP code, without the need to expose an endpoint. More info:

- https://gatographql.com/extensions/internal-graphql-server
- https://gatographql.com/extensions-reference/internal-graphql-server

Persisted queries: You can compose and execute GraphQL queries directly from the wp-admin, using a visual client. No need to code/deploy any PHP or JS code. More info:

- https://gatographql.com/extensions/persisted-queries
- https://gatographql.com/extensions-reference/persisted-queries

Polylang integration: In a multilingual site, you can query data for a specific language (it integrates with the Polylang plugin, both free and PRO versions). More info:

But what is this internal GraphQL server and how is it different from my Godaddy server on which my WordPress website resides? What is multilingual site and Polylang, is it WordPress site for some kind of translation in language of your choice?

GoDaddy is your hosting, you still need to build the application. With the Internal GraphQL server you can fetch data to power your application, eg: your Gutenberg blocks.

Polylang is a free plugin to translate your site to multiple languages: https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/
