dominKnow | ONE and Google Translate

From the Home ribbon selecting translate will enable you to export or import your desired translation(s) into your existing project.

Type in the language for which you wish to translate the project.

Select the desired language from the search results.

You can search for additional languages if you wish to create multiple translation exports. For Google Translate, leave the file format set to Excel. In many cases you can turn off the Page Preview Links and Authoring Metadata, as they are typically not needed in an automatic translation.

If you selected multiple languages you will need to unzip the package before uploading the files for translation.

Once you are at the main Google Translate Interface you can begin the next steps in your translation.

Although Detect Language will likely work in all cases, you can select the source language to be sure. 

If the desired language isn't available on the quick selection list, selecting the drop down will provide access to all available languages.

Note: Google Translate does NOT support document translate for all languages. If you select a language and later the translate button is greyed out, look for a notice that the selected language is not supported for document translate.

Alternatively you can drag and drop the translation file onto the Drag and drop cloud icon.

Access the location where your dominKnow | ONE translation files have been downloaded and / or unzipped and select the file to be translated.
