Take these steps to add a Google Cloud Translation API key to your site.

  1. In Experience Builder, go to Settings | Languages and enter your Google Cloud Translation API key.
  2. Click Validate & Save Key.
    This action checks the validity of your key, and, if valid, saves your setting.

After you verify and save your key, a Translate with Google menu appears on all feed items in your site. Feed items include posts, questions, polls, and their comments, answers, and replies.

  • To translate the feed item into the default language, click Translate with Google.

    For site members, the default language comes from the locale that’s set on the user’s profile. For guest users, it comes from the locale that’s set in the user’s browser.

  • To select a language, click the menu icon and select a language from the list.

These languages appear on the translation list.
