Best Practices

1. Review Translations

AI is powerful but not perfect. Check:

  • Industry-specific vocabulary
  • Legal wording
  • Proper names

2. Keep Texts Simple

For better translations:

  • Short and clear sentences
  • Avoid jargon
  • No ambiguous abbreviations

3. Test Each Language

Before publishing:

  • Preview in each language
  • Check the layout
  • Test the complete journey

4. Maintain Consistency

  • Use uniform vocabulary
  • Define a glossary for key terms
  • Document translation choices

PDF Template Translation

Document templates can also be translated:

  1. Create the template in the main language
  2. Change language in the selector
  3. Adapt the template content
  4. The correct template is used based on response language
