How do I use the Translate Module on the system?

Created by Mark Eves, Modified on Tue, 26 Apr, 2022 at 3:58 PM by Mark Eves

The Translate Module allows an organisation to create, edit, and publish translation content. This can be done in the appropriate language(s) required, either independently, or in conjunction with Google Translate. Forms can be translated independently from this Module within Forms Builder.

Languages

To check the languages enabled on your system, go to Admin -> Translate -> Languages

From here, you can select which languages you want to enable on your system, and then click on the “Submit” button on the right side of the screen to apply the changes.

Forms

The second tab available is the “Forms” tab, providing online language translation that instantly translates text and web pages.

Admin Users can choose which Forms are suitable for translation by moving them from the left box into the right.

Enabling “Overwrite” will overwrite content with Google Translate, rather than their own translations.

The language box allows you to see which languages are available for translation, again by moving them from the left box into the right.

Objects

The third tab, “Objects”, allows Admin Users to translate or amend translations on all Form objects, including Form Names and Page Names.

Simply click on any of the Objects below to begin the translation process. The Objects are reflected from the content:

Once you have selected the relevant Object, a filter is available that allows the following:

01. “Filter” Objects to display whether they are currently translated

- Filter “ALL” Objects to displays all Objects

- Filter “BLANK” Objects that have no translation

- Filter “NOT NULL” Objects that have been translated

- Filter by “LANGUAGE”

02. “Translate”, using “Overwrite”

- Overwrite - where the Admin User wishes to use Google Translate (select “Ignore special character” to ignore translation of special characters)

- Select the Format, and then select “Translate"

03. “Translate”, manually

- Select the relevant filters, as described above

- The first column provides the English heading. The second column displays the box where the translation can take place. Enter text to provide translation, and click “Save”.
