Our new Pages experience transforms the translation process and further supports multilingual content, allowing organisations to build accessible global knowledge libraries immediately.
Users can view Pages in their browser language where translations are available.
Translations Best Practices
- Publish the primary language first
- Maintain consistent structure across languages
- Review mobile preview before publishing
- Update all language versions when content changes
Auto-Translation Technology
Workvivo uses the Amazon Text Translation service to support on-screen translations on our platform (web and mobile). Amazon Translate uses advanced machine learning technologies to provide high-quality translation on demand.
The full list of languages for the Amazon service are available here. Please note that the Workvivo engineering team must complete an exercise when a new language appears in Amazon's list. The addition is not instantaneous so please let us know if a translation doesn't appear to be supported in Workvivo yet.
Adding a Translation
You can do this either when the page is being built or by editing a published page.
- Along the top markdown bar, click on the Translate icon
- Select Mange Translations
- Add all the languages for the page that you need
- Click Done
- Translated content will be immediately available
View Translations - User Experience
- The translated version displays automatically
- Users may manually switch languages easily by using the drop-down provided.
Modifying Translated Content
If required, authors can edit content after the translations have been completed and added.
- From the Options drop-down at the top right hand corner, click Edit Page
- Click on the Translate icon on the top markdown editor bar and select the language you want to update
- Uncheck the 'Automatically translate from English' box and on the next screen make your updates
- When your updates are completed, click Save to commit the changes
Managing Translations
You can easily manage your Page translations, add and remove translations and set a default language for each Page. To do this, Admins can simply click on Options > Edit Page.
From the popup you can change the default, add new translations or remove ones that are no longer needed. To commit your changes, click Done and then Save.
Note: Sub-pages will not inherit the translation settings from a parent page.
