Creating Multi-Language Content For Pages

You can create content in your Employee App or Intranet in multiple languages. This allows readers to read content in their chosen content language. When adding multi-language content for pages, you can choose languages that are enabled for your organization. If you need additional languages, an administrator can enable them. 

In addition, you can copy existing content from another language and automatically translate it into the added language using a machine translator. We recommend always proofreading machine-translated content to ensure that there are no errors in translation.

Creating content in multiple languages is only possible if this has been configured for your organization. If you require this option, contact your administrator.

There are three different ways to create multi-language content in Pages.

  • Start From Scratch: This option allows you to add translation manually and creates a new tab in your selected language(s) on the page. The text field remains empty, allowing you to write or copy and paste your content in the new language directly.
  • Copy Content: This option creates a new tab in your selected language(s) in the page and copies the content in the original language into the text field.
  • Copy and Translate Automatically: This option creates a new tab in your selected language(s) on the page and translates the content into the new language automatically. From there, you can add or edit the content as desired.

Adding Multi-Language Content Manually 

This option creates a new tab within which you can add content in the new language manually.

  1. In the Studio, navigate to Content > Pages.
  2. Open the page to which you want to add a language.  
  3. Click the + button.

You have added one or more new languages to your page. Each language has a different tab at the top of the page. You can now write new content in those languages.
