Setup automatic Google Translation

Automatic Google Translation

It is possible to setup a text field to be automatically translated whenever a data is added or changed, into a specific language. SAI360 uses Google Translate to achieve this.

To enable Google Translate you need to

• Ensure a valid Google API Key, with translations enabled, is entered in the System page of the Global Settings. This needs to be acquired by your company from Google.

Setting up Automatic Translation for a Text Field

In SAI360, automatic translation can only be defined for Text fields (not for Memo fields).

The setup process is as follows:

• For each Text field you want automatic translation performed on, create and save another Text field which will be used as the Translation Destination Field.

  As a guideline, use the same Maximum Size as the Source Field.

• Select the Source field, and
  • tick Translation Required
  • on the tab Translation Configuration, select the Translation Destination Field.
  • select the Language the Source field needs to be translated to.
• Save and Publish your Changes.
• To populate these fields for existing records, it is necessary to design and run an Analytics Rule.
  Please contact your SAI360 representative for assistance.

  (An automated process to perform this step will be available in a future release).
