I am providing content for distributors in many different countries and while I understand that i can change the language for the navigation buttons etc, I want to know if I can connect to any translation tool to translate content so that I do not have to have each country translate their own content and have me reload it. Just looking for the best ways to automate a high volume of translations in many languages.
Thank you,
Erin
We have had some success when using Chrome. The employee can right click in the screen and select translate and the entire page contents are translated. Obviously this doesn't work for video content. If you host your videos at Youtube, they do offer a translation service for videos which is relatively inexpensive.
Erin, further to Lena Smith's suggestion, you could also encourage your users to install the Google Translate extension on their Chrome browsers; this allows them to translate the entire page by clicking on the translate icon that will appear on the toolbar after they install the add-on.
And since this isn't a question that will generate a single uniquely correct response, we've flipped the format to a discussion.
Hey Erin,
Google does have some awesome things in the works to better translate more complicated content between major languages but even tests of new AI technology still produce major translation errors. My recommendation would be to continue to use human translators, unfortunately. Part of our eye to innovation is to watch cool things and when Google Translate becomes more reliable we'll take another look.
Thanks,
Ike
