Google Translator

Google Translator is integrated into the platforms used by Khoros Community sites or any community. This integration allows users to translate various types of content, such as knowledge articles, community posts, into multiple languages.

When a user wants to translate content on Khoros Community sites, they can utilize the Google Translator feature. This could involve selecting the desired language for translation and initiating the translation process.

On non-English Khoros Community sites, when a question is posed, it can be syndicated or published to the English forum. Similarly, English replies to these questions can be syndicated back to the local community sites.

Upon syndication, the translated content is instantaneously translated into the language of the local community members. This ensures that users can understand and engage with the content, regardless of the language in which it was originally posted.

Overall, this integration of Google Translator facilitates multilingual communication and collaboration across different platforms, enabling users to interact effectively regardless of language barriers.

Google Translation API uses Google's neural machine translation technology to let you dynamically translate text through the API using a Google pre-trained, custom model, or a translation specialized large language model (LLMs).

It comes in Basic and Advanced editions. Both provide fast and dynamic translation, but Advanced offers customization features, such as domain-specific translation, formatted document translation, and batch translation.
