Content Studio allows users to create translated versions of an article directly from the editor. This helps teams localize content for different audiences without recreating the article from scratch. 

The translation workflow starts from the language selector at the top left of the article editor. From there, users can manage translations, add target languages, generate translated content, switch between language versions, and sync updates from the primary language article to translated versions.

When to Use This

Use this workflow when you want to:

• Create a localized version of an existing article.
• Translate article content into one or more languages.
• Review and edit translated article content before publishing or updating.
• Manage multiple language versions of the same article from one place.
• Sync changes from the primary language article to all translated versions.

Steps to Translate an Article

Step 1: Open the article you want to translate in the Content Studio editor.

Step 2: Click the language selector at the top left of the editor. A dropdown will appear with the current language and the option to Manage Translations.

Step 3: Select Manage Translations from the dropdown. This opens the Manage Language(s) For Translation window.

In this window, you can view:

• The default language of the article.
• Existing translations.
• The option to add new languages.

Step 4: In the Translations section, click Add. A language selection panel will open. Use the search bar or scroll through the list to find the languages you want to add. Select one or more languages by checking the boxes next to them.

Step 5: After clicking Translate Now, the selected languages appear under the Translations section. Each selected language displays an In Progress status while the translation is being generated. You can stay on this screen to monitor progress or return to the editor and check again later.

Step 6: Once the translation is ready, use the language selector at the top left of the editor to switch from the default language to a translated language.

Step 7: After reviewing or editing the translated content, click Update at the top right of the screen.

Syncing Changes from the Primary Language Article

When changes are made to the primary language article, Content Studio allows users to sync those changes across the translated versions.

This helps keep translated articles aligned with the latest version of the primary article.

Step 1: Open the article in the primary language.

Step 2: Make the required changes to the article content.

Step 3: Click Update at the top right of the screen.

Step 4: The Publish Content panel opens on the right side of the screen.

Step 5: If Content Studio detects changes that can be synced to translated versions, a message appears asking whether you want to sync the changes to all translated versions. Click on Sync Changes.

Step 6: Review the publish details. Click Publish to complete the update.
