Translations for Confluence Data Center/Server
Breadcrumbs

How do I create translations with this app?

Translations for Confluence is neither an automatic translation tool nor a translation memory system. Instead, this app helps manage multiple language versions of content on a single Confluence page.

Depending on your company's policy, translations can be inserted by:

  • Internal creation

  • Collaboration with external translators

  • Tools such as Google Translate, DeepL, ChatGPT, or their respective applications.

We recommend establishing a clear workflow for managing translations effectively .

  1. Navigate to the page you want to translate or create a new, blank page.

  2. Open the macro browser by typing "{" and begin typing the name of the first language. Select the desired language ( see here for a list of all the languages).

Please note:

  • The content will now display in the selected language ( see here for details on which language is shown).

  • To verify content in other languages, use the language dropdown to switch views and check that everything looks correct.

    • This dropdown may not appear immediately after publishing the page. If this happens, simply reload the page to make it visible.

  • If you dont find your desired language, please let us know , we would be happy to include it.
