Translate parts of your content

Use AI to translate individual content elements.
  1. In Content & assets, open the content item you want to translate.
  2. Switch to the target language – the one you want to translate to.
  3. In the top right above a content element, click .
  4. Select the content to translate from.
    • Use existing content – the AI recognizes the language of the existing content in the content element and translates it to the target language.
    • Use content from another language – the AI uses element content from another language and translates it to the target language.
Once the AI finishes its job, the new translation replaces the existing element content.

Considerations

There are a few things to remember when using AI translation.

Language identification

The AI determines the source and target languages based on language names and codenames and considers the source content as well. To ensure the AI determines the languages accurately, we recommend that project managers use standardized machine-readable language codenames.

Source of translation

When using AI to translate your content, Kontent.ai uses DeepL to facilitate the translation. If DeepL doesn’t support the specific source and target language combination, ChatGPT translates your content instead. Make sure your languages are well-named.

Translating structured content

The AI translates content outside structured content.
  • Components in rich text are copied, not translated. However, you can translate individual elements within the components.
  • Content items embedded in rich text are copied, not translated. You need to translate them separately.
