Configuration of AutoTranlate for Cumulus

Needed field configuration

To be able to use the translation plugin you have to define the fields as a multilanguage field. This can be done with the Cumulus Client in the catalog settings for every record or category field where you will need translated content. Open the field properties and switch to the language tab to activate the multi language feature and add at least one more language to your base language.

Setting up triggers for translation

To automatically translate new or changed content in a record or category field you have to create a new catalog trigger. This consists of the following steps:

  • Select the type of event you want to watch (e.g. record / category field value -> something changed)
  • Select the field to translate by entering the field GUID (can be copied from settings -> catalog settings -> record / category fields by double clicking in the column GUID)
  • Choose the translation provider and model

These steps can be repeated for as many fields as you want. The screenshot below only show two fields configured as an example.

A record view set for better use

It is helpful to view the additionally language fields in your record view set to be able to review the result of the translation immediately. Thus it is easy to review the results to approve it.
