Translations

Manage workspace languages & translations efficiently in your NLX workspace

What's Translations?

NLX's robust, multi-language feature allows you to translate training phrases, slot values, Voice+ steps, and messaging into a multitude of languages and regional dialects, enabling your conversational AI to converse with users from all over the globe.

Managing all languages and translations for your workspace can be done effortlessly through Translations. Download and upload translations to work on them offline, or use NLX's powerful auto-translation feature.

Need more context? See Supported languages

To access, click Translations in your workspace menu:


Languages tab

The Languages tab is where you create and maintain the list of supported languages for your entire workspace, including node messages, custom slot values, Voice+ scripts, and training phrases.

  • To add a language to the list, click + Add new language

  • Select the desired language from the list

  • Click Save

  • Choose Apply languages

When creating new resources (a new application, new slot, or a new flow), the list of workspace languages you created through the Translations menu appears in the Languages tabs for those resources. You may remove a supported language and add a new supported language at the resource level.


Download tab

You may download all translatable content to a .csv file for working offline:

  • Select the resources to include in the downloaded file

  • Specify one or more languages for the download by clicking + Add new language or clicking the remove icon next to an existing language

  • Click Prepare download

  • When the file is ready, click Download

Optional:

  • Enter one or more tags to only include resources with those tag(s) in the download

  • Enable Exclude retrained toggle to remove phrases that have been trained through the History menu in the download


Upload tab

By clicking on the Upload tab, you can upload a .csv file that contains translated content:

  • Select Drop file here or Click to select for choosing a file from your computer

  • When ready, click Upload

  • Proceed to the All uploads tab of Translations page to apply your uploaded values


All uploads tab

All uploads lists all uploaded files that have been added and provides the Status along with the time the file was Uploaded.

Apply an upload by clicking the Apply link, or delete it from the list by clicking the remove icon.


Auto-translate tab

While you may manage auto-translations within each flow, custom slot, etc., separately, this tab enables you to auto-translate for multiple aspects of your application in a single request.

For each auto-translation job, the following attributes are shown:

  • Status: Whether the job is completed or in progress

  • Languages: The language of the translation job

  • Succeeded: Number of resources that succeeded in being translated over the number of resources checked in total

  • Created: When the job was created

  • Resources: Select from all or specific resource types

  • Mark as translated: Enable to mark all translations as translated once the job is completed
