Prepare Content for Translation

Whether you are working with a translation service or are going to translate your content internally, you will need to prepare your content before you send it to the translators. Ideally, you should prepare for translation at the start of your project, so that you can consider using translatable variables from the start. But they can be set up and applied retrospectively if needed.

Tip

If you have content that you want exclude from the translation, see Exclude Content from Translation.

The preparation steps are:

  1. Activate Languages - This makes the languages available to use.

    You may also need to add any missing languages or dialects to Paligo, see Create Additional Languages.

  2. Add the languages to your publications and topics, see Add a Language to a Publication or Topic.

  3. Upload image variants for different languages, see Translate Images. (Optional)

  4. Set up translatable variables, see Translate Variables. (Optional)

  5. Consider if you need to provide your translators with information about Translate Filters. (Optional)

Note

Steps 3 to 5 inclusive are optional. You only need to complete these steps if your content contains images that need different images in other languages, variables and filters, respectively.
