Does Confluence cloud support for translation of content ?

[kelly.jee]

As we have colleagues from different countries, is it possible to translate the content in confluence cloud ?

Hi @kelly.jee 
If you are searching for a tool that can translate pages automatically, I would suggest taking a look also at our Lango app: Lango Translator: Language & translations kit for Confluence

Hello @kelly.jee

Out of the box, this is currently not possible; in Confluence, users can select their preferred language, but that only applies to Confluence itself.

Here the best solution would be to use an application to translate the content automatically; below are some apps, but you can find more in the Atlassian Marketplace.

• Lango Translator
• Translator for Confluence
• Easy Translations for Confluence

Lastly, if you don't want to send information outside of your Confluence instance for translating purposes, you can use an app where you can manually upload your translations and display them without worrying about privacy. Our team, bitvoodoo, created an app, "Translations for Confluence," which could help you in this regard.

• Translations for Confluence

Hope this is helpful!

With friendly regards

I have a general question to end my guessing:
I am right that there is simply no way to auto-translate Confluence pages within Confluence without a paid Confluence-specific extra-tool?

My attemps look like this:
I can open Confluence pages in their normal non-edit mode and translate them within the Browser with tools like Google translate.

BUT:

• These changes are lost when I refresh the browser
• The html source code that I could copy is different from the code used in edit-mode and therefore useless
• When I open the page in Confluence's edit mode instead and try the same ("right click > translate to..."), this option is not available anymore
• When I try to circumvent these problems by exporting pages to Word, translate in Word and then reimport it again, this works partly with certain formats being destroyed (in my case: customized extras with the div macro and the "info", "note" and "warning" macros)

Do I overlook any possibility?

I don't recall seeing that as an option in Confluence Cloud.

May be get the help needed using a plugin but the option of translating the content to a different language is not available.

Best,

The "scroll" apps make a good try at it
