Autotranslator
The Autotranslator extension translates metadata from CELUM assets and nodes. The only difference between Autotranslator for Microsoft Azure and Deepl is the translation service used, with the actual translation mechanism being the same.
When a text is entered into an information field of type «localized text», the entries for the other languages are automatically translated if this was not the case before.
First, the preferred languages are checked in a specified order. If an information field with text content is found, this text in the corresponding language is used as source for the translations. Otherwise, the CELUM default language will be used.
Automatic translation for information fields
- Open the context menu on the asset to edit the metadata.
- Maintain the main language and save the changes.
- Refresh the page so that the automatically translated text fields appear.
Automatic translation when creating a node
- Create a new node using the context menu.
- Maintain the metadata in the CELUM default language (mandatory).
- The node has been translated into all available languages
Adjust translated values afterwards
If necessary, translated values can be subsequently adjusted by the user after automatic translation. There will be no new automatic translation. If a completely new translation of an information field is to be made, the contents for the respective languages can be deleted. Afterwards it is possible to enter the required translations.
Initial translation
An administrator can start an initial translation via the system task.
Mandatory data:
- Set which translation service – Microsoft or Deepl – you want to use.
- Specify the URL of the translation service.
- Connect the subscription or API key.
- Set the region where the translation subscription was created (Microsoft only).
For more details see Installation for Microsoft, Deepl or in Properties.
The authorization is done via a separate user group of the extension.
