HOSTED SPACES

Localization

10min

Localization is a powerful feature that supports (i18n) across your spaces.

By default, every space has theย Englishย language, meaning all the labels displayed to users on the public documentation will be set in English. However, if your space targets a different language audience, fear not! We've got you covered with comprehensive language support.

We consider that a language translation is just another version of a space, so the process of creating a space that supports a different language than English is similar to the Version Links๏ปฟ .

How to set up Localization

1

Accessing Settings

  • Click on the gear icon (โš™๏ธ) to access settings.
  • Navigate to the Version Links tab under the Space Connections section.

โ„น๏ธ For public documentations

Make sure your documentation is Public and visible to everyone, before you start creating version links.

Finalizing Setup

  • Exit the Space Settings window.
  • Publish the space to propagate changes.

๐Ÿง  Remember!

You have to publish all clones/versions in order to be visible on the public documentation.

Automatic Detection

We automatically detect if the Version Links are meant to translate a space or to define multiple product versions.

Supported Languages

For the moment, we are supporting (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Chinese and Indonesian).

Viewing Changes

Once published, you will be able to see the changes in public spaces. The versions will be displayed based on the context. If the Space does contain a Space Link and also has multiple versions, it will be displayed in the Space Link Tab:

Otherwise, it will appear above our search bar:

This solution provides great flexibility based on your organization's needs. We can create more complex setups, like wiring Spaces, with versions that need translation or vice-versa.

User Guide Translation and Versioning

  • Translate the Employee Handbook into multiple languages (e.g., English, French, Italian).
  • Customize product versions for specific languages and markets.

Feature Description

  • When enabled, all documents in the space will be translated automatically using AI.
  • Translations may take a few minutes to complete, depending on the size of the documents.
  • This feature consumes tokens for processing the translation.

๏ปฟโš ๏ธ Warning

  • Ensure you have sufficient tokens available to complete translations.
  • For optimal performance, avoid making significant content changes while translations are in progress (wait till the successfull notification is present on the page)

Automatic Update Translation

When the main space is published, the Auto-Translation AI will detect updates and automatically translate the updated content from all versions of the documents. This ensures that translations stay current without requiring additional steps.
