Use machine translation by Google Translate to speed up the process of translating your system and maintaining localized dictionaries. Integrating with Google Translate offers the following features:
Integrating with Google Translate requires a Google Cloud account and Cloud Translation API key. |
To use any Google Translate features, you must first set up your integration:
Select the languages you want to support with machine translation.
Select only the languages your users need. Selecting too many languages makes it more time-consuming to maintain all the dictionaries, and makes the language selection menu more cumbersome. |
Under Auto-Translate New Text, choose one of the options to determine what the system does when new fields, charts, saved searches, and other entities are created:
Allow immediate user review and approval of translations. This presents machine translations to the user when the user creates a new entity, so the user can review the translations for their new entity immediately. For example, if an admin creates a new field named Name and clicks Finish to save it, the system presents suggested machine translations of "Name" into all the languages selected in step 3. The user reviews the translations, edits them as needed, and clicks Approve for each one. If there are translations the user can't review, they can skip editing or approving those languages and click Close, in which case the unapproved translations are stored with a status of Machine Translate for future review.
This option works best if your organization has a few specific people who create new entities, and the same people are responsible for reviewing and approving translations. This is also a good option if everyone who creates new entities is reasonably familiar with multiple languages. |
When you set up your integration, you can choose to automatically translate new text as new entities are created. In either case, machine translations can be generated that need to be reviewed later.

If you want to add support for a new language by performing an initial translation using Google Translate, you can do so in Setup > Localization on the Translate tab. For more information, see Localization.
