| To translate topics: |
View Setup and Configuration AND Be designated as a translator |
- From Setup, enter Translate in the Quick Find box, then select Translate.
- Select the language you’re translating into.
- Select Managed Topic for the Setup Component.
- For Aspect, select Field Label for the topic name, and Description for the topic description.
- In the Experience Name column, expand a site to see its primary topic names.
-
To enter language-specific names for topics, double-click in the Topic Name Translation
column. For descriptions, double-click in the Topic Description Translation column.
Consider the following when you’re using the Translation Workbench:
- There’s no Metadata API support for translated topic names or descriptions.
- While topic name uniqueness is guaranteed in English, the translator must ensure the uniqueness of topic names in the translated language.
- Modifying topic names from Experience Workspaces or Experience Management only changes the English site. All translated topic name and description changes must be made using the Translation Workbench.
- If a translated topic name is entered when the site is in English mode, the translated name can appear twice in the translated site.
- When topics names are translated with the Translation Workbench, hashtags in the translated sites also change. For example, #help shows as #aiuto in Italian. If the site member then reverts to English from Italian, clicking the #aiuto hashtag gives an error message rather than showing the topic detail page of #help.
