How to translate a confluence document into another language with Smartcat

Question

Hi everyone,

i would like to know how to translate a Confluence document from one language into antother using Smartcat. The only way I now is by creating in Confluence a word or pdf file, uploading it to Smartcat and getting back a translated pdf and transfer it to Confluence by copy-paste. And this doing it page by page... a lot of work.

Is there another way to do that? So that I can upload all pages at the same time and translate without creating word/pdf and copy-paste?

Thnak you very much and best regards :)

Wolfgang

Hi @Wolfgang Deininger

There might be a ready-made connector (an app that can connect to Smartcat) or a way to do it via APIs.

You may check Translations for Scroll Documents, it's an expansion pack for Scroll Documents that works with XLIFF files and you effectively creates virtual pages with translated content for your Confluence pages, so you can switch between the languages in the menu.

In a nutshell, you export your content in XLIFFs from Confluence, load them into your translation tool/service, get the localized XLIFFs back, and import them back to Confluence.

There is a collection of apps related to language translations: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=translation&product=confluence&hosting=cloud

Unfortunately, searching for "smartcat" doesn't find anything, so I am afraid you will have to see if any of the previous apps could be a replacement for you.

Hi @Wolfgang Deininger

I use Translations for Confluence because it allows me to create and edit page content in multiple languages while staying in the same page. It’s a lot faster than the method you described. The app works with macro. Use the language macro in the language you want and add your translation. You can also include as many languages as you want on a single page. In view mode, your users will only see the page content in their preferred language.
You can also try Atlassian Intelligence in combination with it for the translations. You can read more about this in this blog post.

I hope it will be helpful!

Cheers,
