Export Translation from dominKnow ONE

In this first step you will select the Export for Translation option for all the desired languages. This will create your translation file(s) to which you will add your translation(s) and then import back into the project to create a single project that contains multiple translations. 

Step 1

 ¶ 

Select Translate

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

Step 2

 ¶ 

Select Export Translation File(s)

Step 3

 ¶ 

Select the Languages selection box

Step 4

 ¶ 

Type: french and press Enter
 

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

Step 5

 ¶ 

Select French - France : Francais - France (fr-FR)

Select the desired language from the search results.

Step 6

 ¶ 

Click on Export

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.

Step 7

 ¶ 

The selected language(s) will download.

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

Once the translation files have been downloaded you can then access your translation service to create translate the content.

Translate Excel Content

In the next steps you will utilize the plugin Translator for Excel: Sheets Translator. You will use this translator to translate the text in your export and then copy and paste the translations into the correct column.

 

This scene starts with the file you downloaded in the previous step open in Excel.

Step 1

 ¶ 

Press button: Show Translator for Excel

This will launch the Sheets Translator application in the right panel.

Step 2

Click on the drop down arrow in the Original language selector box.

You can keep the Auto Detect, but if you want to be sure, switch to the base language.

Step 3

 ¶ 

Selected list item: English

Step 4

 ¶ 

Click on the drop down arrow in the Target language selector box.

Step 5

 ¶ 

Click on the scroll bar, or drag until the desired language is available.

All the target languages are written in the target language. In this example we are looking for German, but spelled Deutsch.

Step 6

This is German.

Step 8

Click on the down arrow in the Translate selected column.

Click on Add a column option.

This will provide a translated column you can copy from and then simply remove.

Step 12

The translation will begin to process.

To copy the contents to your clipboard.

Step 17

 ¶ 

Click on H3

Step 18

 ¶ 

Press Ctrl + v

This will paste all of the translations into the correct column.

Step 19

 ¶ 

The translated text is now in the correct location.

Step 20

You are now going to remove the extra column.

Step 21

 ¶ 

Right click on F

Step 22

 ¶ 

Select menu item: Delete

Step 23

 ¶ 

Repeat these steps for any other Sheets.

In most exports there will be additional Excel sheets for other elements such as pop ups, variables, and glossaries. Repeat these same steps for the remaining elements which will require translation.

Step 24

 ¶ 

Press button: Save

Now that the translation file is ready, you can import it into dominKnow | ONE.

Step 3

 ¶ 

Click on Browse

Step 4

 ¶ 

Select text field: 20250404045512_Protecting_Information_Security_and_Privacy_(102998)_fr-FR.xlsx

If you have translated your project into multiple languages, first select all the translated files and then zip the file and use the zipped file in this step.

Step 5

 ¶ 

Click on Open

Step 6

 ¶ 

Click on Done.

The updated project will open when done.

Step 7

 ¶ 

Click on Preview -> Compare

This will open a full project preview with a side by side preview.

Step 8

 ¶ 

In the preview on the left, use the language selector and click on French - France

This will change the project view on the left to use the French translation.

Step 9

 ¶ 

Steps completed

While you don't need to use the Compare preview, it does provide a handy side by side view when you need to see a direct comparison between two languages.

With these simple steps you can begin to take advantage of machine and gen ai translation services to augment your multi-lingual process. Happy translating!

2022-08-08

Hi, 
I have a client who wants to upload a flow project to Sharepoint. I'm not 100% on the technical side of this, so I've a few questions: 
1. Is this possible? 
2. Can they have it so their users progress is recorded? 
3. What type of publishing profile or output is required from Dominknow to make it work?
