Review the translations in the Editor* and push them back to Drupal. *The only field that can’t be translated for now is the Category field as it’s uploaded from Drupal as a numeric value. Continuous Translation setup Go to the main translation page by clicking "Translation" from the toolbar Make sure there is a configured continuous translator on the "Providers" page. In this case, it is the Smartcat provider. Open "Jobs" menu tab and click on "Add continuous job" The page provides several configuration options including translator selection, label, source and target language. By default, the continuous settings block displays a list of content types available for translation. Click "Save job" to complete the process. Each newly created article (of the selected type/s for continuous translation) will be automatically created as a new job item and sent to the preconfigured translator. The continuous translation process is provided via a scheduler thanks to Cron. TMGMT and Smartcat provide special scheduler tasks that will automatically send and receive translation from Smartcat. These tasks will be automatically launched thanks to Cron, which will automate the localization process. Continuous Translation setup First, you need to make sure that the Ultimate Cron module is installed. Ultimate Cron extends Drupal’s native cron features and expands control over repeating jobs. The following manual will explain how to enable translation jobs to run repeatedly. Go to the TMGMT settings page, “Translation” > “Settings”. Enable “Submit continuous job items on cron” option placed under “Performance settings” block. We recommend specifying the value 5 in the "Number of job items to process on cron" field. This is the number of jobs that will be processed in one iteration of continuous translation. In other words, this is the number of documents that will be uploaded to Smartcat at one time. Make sure Ultimate Cron is enabled. “Extend” > “Install new module” enables site administrators to install new modules. Go to “Configuration” > “Cron” > “Cron Jobs”. It provides an overview of available cron runs. Look for “Default cron handler” provided by “Translation Management Core” and “Smartcat translator” and click the “Edit” button. a. Translation Management Core: Responsible for submitting and updating translations in the Smartcat project. b. Smartcat translator: Responsible for receiving translations from Smartcat, as well as importing into Drupal. The Cron edit page provides several settings related to the TMGMT cron job. Using the “Run cron every” option, it is possible to set an interval for the cron job to run on. Make sure the cron job is enabled and finish the process with “Save”. If you have added a continuous job and configured Cron, the continuous localization process will start working. The Cron tasks that were described above will run automatically depending on the interval that you specified. For testing purposes, you don't have to wait for Cron to run the necessary tasks, so you can use the "Run" button that each task has separately. Automatic run of cron tasks In order for tasks to automatically run every minute or every 15 minutes (depending on the settings), you need to ensure that the Cron trigger is always running. Go to Configuration → System → Cron → Run cron. Here you will find a special link that you can follow to run Cron. We recommend setting up this link to be called automatically every minute so that tasks run consistently. To do this, you need to go to your server settings. If you are using Linux, then run the command: Save your changes. Now the cron scheduler will automatically send a request every minute to the link you specify, which will ensure stable running of tasks. How to check if everything works Let's imagine that you have 10 articles that are in your continuous job. When you run a cron task from Translation Management Core, the first 5 articles will be sent to Smartcat. There is currently no option to select an existing project in Smartcat. Therefore, if this is the first content submission, the project will be automatically created and linked to the continuous job. In the future, all content will go into this project. In the "Translation -> Jobs items" tab you can find articles sent to Smartcat; they will have the status "In progress". Job items with the status "Inactive" are those that are waiting to be sent to Smarcat. Don't forget to filter items by the "states" parameter. If you run the cron job from Translation Management Core again, the following 5 articles (which are in Inactive status) will be sent to Smartcat. Sending in batches is necessary in order to avoid "timeout" problems during task execution. This way you can run the cron job until all documents are sent to Smartcat. As a reminder, this will happen automatically if Cron is configured. Now let's translate one of the articles into Smartcat and try to get the translation back into Drupal. Now, in order to get translations back into Drupal, you need to run a cron task from Smartcat translator. This task will automatically receive all job items that are in the "In progress" status and try to get translations from Smartcat. Articles that have been translated and successfully imported into Drupal will receive an "Accepted" status. Did this article help you find the answer you were looking for? If not or if you have further questions, please contact our support team.

Connect Zapier with Smartcat

Zapier integration with Smartcat | Smartcat Help Center Smartcat has connectors to the top CMS in the market but there are still many applications where developing a connectors might not be feasible. One solution around this problem is with a Zapier integration. What is Zapier? Zapier provides the tools to connect more than 1500 applications without the need to write one line of code. Using existing building blocks, users can build workflows between applications very quickly. For example, people use Zapier to automatically copy email attachments to their Google Drive or send tweet each time a new product is added to their web store. How can Zapier be used with Smartcat? Project managers receive files using many channels - emails, cloud repositories, chat applications. Each time, files need to be downloaded manually, projects created and when the project is completed, reverse the process. Using Zapier, projects can be created automatically when files are received or uploaded using custom parameters to specify project names, languages and workflow steps. Upon project completion, files can be returned automatically through the same channels they came from. How does it work? In Zapier, every application will have what is called Triggers and Actions. Triggers will be something that happens in this app that will kick off the automation, like for example, a new file was added or a new email was received. An action is something that can be done in the app when the trigger occurs, for example, send an email, create a file. In Zapier, Smartcat has three trigger event (Project Completed, Project New and Project Cancelled) and 3 actions events (Get Client, Create Project and Create Export). The Create Project action should be used to respond to a trigger from a different app. For example, in Google Drive, one of the triggers is New File in Folder. The response to that trigger would be to create a project in Smartcat. The Smartcat trigger Project Completed could be used to send messages via different chat application or could be followed by the action Create Export to generate translated files. An action from another app could then be used to upload the file somewhere or send it via email. The Smartcat channel has other videos to show how you can do the same thing with OneDrive and Dropbox. There are also videos on how to connect Gmail and Slack to Smartcat. With over 1500 apps in Zapier, the possibilities are almost endless.

Choose an translation engine

MT engine selection | Smartcat Help Center Smartcat has eight industry-leading translation engines that are used to instantly translations, whether that be for files, websites, software, designs, videos – anything you need translated can first be pre-translated with high accuracy. The machine translation engines are: Google Statistical translation engineGoogle Neural translation engineMicrosoft Translator - This includes statistical and neural engines depending on the language pair.Yandex translation engineBaidu Translate APIDeepLAmazon TranslateModernMT Translation engine Intelligent routing analyzes your text and selects the best translation engine for the specific language pair. When you translate a document or create a translation project, you can enable intelligent routing or select translation engine (available for Unite subscribers and higher). Watch the video or read through the steps as described below the video: When translating a document: click on the Advanced settings when creating translation and select the desired Provider for machine translation in the window that opens. Press Apply now. When creating a translation project: open the Linguistic assets list from your account homepage or from the projects Overview page, click on the gear icon in the machine translation section and adjust the settings in the window that opens. Press Save&Run. 3. It is possible to select a different engine for each language. By clicking Add option, you can add languages to a specific engine. Each engine supports a specific number of languages. So some translation engines may become unavailable if there is no coverage from these engines. Backup machine translation engine We also have a feature that greatly improves the pre-translation performance! If the default machine translation engine provides an empty or broken result, meaning there is a critical error show in the Smartcat Editor, the platform will automatically fall back to its second machine translation engine option, that being Google Neural Machine Translation (NMT). As such, you won't have to worry about errors (or rather, this will decrease significantly). FAQ Which translation engine is best for my projects? There is no good answer to this question as the final choice of an translation engine might come down to many possible factor. For example, some translation engines produce better results for a specific language pair or if equally capable, results might be affected by the topic. Some companies publish some analysis of AI output and rank engines for some language pairs. One such company is inten.to, and they post some results on a regular basis. The latest study is available here.Studies like this one might give some insights into what engine is better for some language pairs, but when dealing with a large project, users should perform some testing with their translation teams and collect some feedback. The perception from translators might vary from the automated results generated for the studies. Testing a couple of thousand words with selected engines should be sufficient in most cases. I already have an account with Google/Microsoft. Can I use it with Smartcat? If you have accounts for the custom Microsoft and Google translation engines you can connect them to Smartcat.To do so you need to provide your credentials in the Workspace settings section and contact our support team.Once the accounts are connected, the corresponding AI engines will be available for use among the rest of Smartcat translation engines. The words translated using these engines will be deducted from your Smartwords balance, as per usual.  What machine translation engines are integrated with Smartcat? The following engines are integrated with Smartcat.Google Statistical translation engineGoogle Neural translation engineMicrosoft Translator - This includes statistical and neural engines depending on the language pair.Yandex translation engineBaidu Translate APIDeepLAmazon TranslateModernMT translation engineTo learn more about selecting a translation engine, refer to this article.

Connect Figma with Smartcat

Figma integration with Smartcat | Smartcat Help Center Learn the steps to set up and use Smartcat for fast, high-quality translation of your Figma designs Figma is a web-based user interface design app widely used for designing mobile app interfaces, prototyping designs, creating social media posts, and everything in between.The Smartcat plugin for Figma will instantly translate your Figma designs and individual frames into any language, allowing you to modify and test layouts in one place, without the messiness of multiple copies for every language.Your translations will be embedded into Figma text objects and kept intact when manipulating visuals. The Smartcat plugin is the easiest way to translate your designs, automatically or professionally. Here's how it works. Installing and setting up the plugin To install the Smartcat plugin for Figma, log in to your Smartcat account and then complete the following steps: 1. Navigate to the Smartcat Translator plugin in Figma Marketplace and click Open in. 2. Figma adds the plugin to your account and it shows as installed. 3. In Figma, open any document with frames and find the Resources tab in the toolbar, go to Plugins, and select Smartcat Translator. 4. Click through the introductory screens. Clicking Let's get started on the last screen redirects you to Smartcat, prompting you to copy the passcode. 5. Click Copy to clipboard, go back to Figma, and paste the passcode to complete the sign-in. Using the plugin Smartcat plugin allows two modes for you to choose from. These are: 1. Asset Translation2. Software Localization Asset TranslationIn this mode, you can easily translate any text frame either automatically, or using professional linguists. You can choose whether to connect to the Smartcat project or just use automatic translation inside Figma. This option would be the best for non-software localization content types: marketing materials, emails, landing pages, etc. Software LocalizationThis mode allows you to plug your UI designs into Smartcat’s software localization workflows. You’ll connect to one of your Smartcat Software localization projects, and will be able to specify keys right in Figma, and then send them to Smartcat for translation. Understanding asset translation mode In this mode, you can easily translate any text frame either automatically, or using professional linguists. In this flow, you can choose whether to connect to the Smartcat project or just use automatic translation inside Figma. This option would be the best for non-software localization content types: marketing materials, emails, landing pages, etc. Understanding automated Translation Follow these steps to start using the Smartcat plugin for automated translation. Step 1Select a frame or a group of frames you want to translate. How to exclude elements from translation when localizing Figma designs You can easily control which parts of your design gets translated and what remains untranslated directly from your Figma frames without having to leave the design platform. As such you can preserve specific elements in the source language, such as brand names, CTAs, or special terms. Click through the interactive demo or read through the how-to steps below: Before you can start excluding elements from translation, ensure that you have the Smartcat integration enabled within your Figma workspace. If you haven't already done so, navigate to the Figma Community and install the Smartcat plugin. Select the Figma design elements to exclude Once the Smartcat plugin is installed and enabled, open your Figma file containing the design elements you wish to exclude from translation. Select layers that you want to exclude from translation, such as brand names, CTAs, or specialized terms, that you want to preserve in the source language. Step 2Click Select the source language to open a list of languages, choose the language currently used in your Figma frames, and click Add. Step 3The selected language will be labeled as Source. You can choose only one source language and it will be applied to all frames in the Figma document. You cannot choose different source languages for frames in one and the same Figma document. Step 4Click Add language to choose the target languages that your Figma frames should be translated into. You can choose as many target languages as you need. Step 5The addition of target language depends on frame selection and will be applied only to the frames you’ve selected.You can apply various target languages to various frames in one Figma document. For example, you can translate one frame from English to Spanish and French, and another from English to Chinese and Korean. Step 6As soon as you add a target language, the original texts in frames will be automatically translated and replaced with their equivalents in the selected language. Step 7When multiple languages are selected, you can switch between them, verify that the translated text is correctly located inside the frame and make necessary adjustments on the fly.Text formatting within text objects will be preserved and stay identical across all languages wherever possible. Step 8The number displayed next to each destination language represents the percentage of the source text in the selected frame currently translated to this particular language.If several frames are selected, the percentage is shown for all of them. If the number is smaller than 100%, click on the three-dot icon for the corresponding language and select Update translations. Steps to follow to perform human review To enable human editing, do the following. Step 1Under the list of selected languages, click “Create Smartcat project”. Step 2On the next screen, click a Create project button. Step 3Smartcat will create a project automatically and send selected frames there. Step 4You can open the project right from Figma by clicking Open project in Smartcat. Step 5In the project, you will see files for translation. Each frame will be uploaded as a separate file.  Step 6Each file can be opened in the Editor. Here in the Preview section, you can see the preview of your frame.It is important to provide context to the translators and editors who will be working on translations. Step 7If you want to invite suppliers to translate these files, go to the Tasks tab and click assign. Assign suppliers from your team or choose a professional from Smartcat Marketplace. Step 8To synchronize the project with Smartcat, click the Synchronization button at the bottom-right corner. Step 9You can track the translation progress in Figma.Each time you synchronize with the project, we update the translation progress so that you can check what stage each translation is at. To do so, you need to hover over the percentage icon right to the selected language. You will see the breakdown into the workflow stages set up in the project. Step 10When the translation is complete on all stages for some languages, Smartcat will show a green tick to the right, to mark it as complete. Step 11To get the translations to Figma, select frames and click the Sync changes button in the bottom right corner. Step 12To send more frames for human editing to the project, select them in Figma and click the Sync button in the bottom right corner. Step 13Please note that the frame selection influences your actions.If you have only two frames selected while you set up some target language or synchronize with the project, this action will be applied to these two selected frames. Can I manually edit the translations right in Figma? Yes, but these edits won’t be passed to Smartcat. You will have them in Figma only. If you want to edit translations manually in Figma, we advise enabling the Show text object properties option in the menu. After that, choose a frame and switch to the target language that you want to edit and adjust the translations. At the bottom, you will see that the option, “Lock this translation”, has been enabled automatically. When it is enabled, Smartcat won’t touch this text block and won’t overwrite it with automatic translations or human-edited translations from the project when you synchronize.But if you want to apply automatic translation back or push translations from Smartcat there, you’ll need to untick this option and launch synchronization. Live Preview: Custom Fonts support Live Preview: Custom Fonts supportIn the case when custom fonts are used for Figma board, to be able to use them in live preview, user is required to upload "custom font" to our server. If the font is not uploaded, we won't be able to show Live Preview precisely, and default font will be used.There are two entry points for upload of Fonts:In Smartcat Editor: In the Workspace settings: Only users who have access to Workspace settings can upload the fonts. Reviewers (whehter from Smartcat Marketplace or yoru team) will only see the notification that indicates the requirement to upload the fonts.Currently, we support only TTF and OTF font formats. Woff2 format will be added soon.Once font is uploaded, it will be used in any project that exists in workspace, and any user will be able to see the Live Preview with correct fonts (even if the user doesn't have the font installed in his system). Software Localization mode This mode allows you to plug your UI designs into Smartcat’s software localization workflows. You’ll be connecting to one of your Smartcat Software localization projects, and will be able to specify keys right in Figma, and then send them to Smartcat for translation. Setting up the project Select a software localization project you want to connect the Figma file to. Or create a new one, if you do not have any. Learn more about Software localization projects and how to set them up When selected, click Set up keys. Setting up the keys Now you can start setting up the keys for the text objects in Figma. Step 1Select a frame or a group of frames you want to work with. Step 2In the plugin, you will see the list of text objects we identified in these frames with a field where you can assign a key for each of them. Step 3To add a key, click the Add key right to the text for translation and type the value into the field. Step 4You can also generate the keys automatically by clicking the Generate keys button on the bottom left. The system will generate the keys based on the text value. Step 5If you don't want some text to be sent to Smartcat for translation, you can either leave the key field empty or hide it from the list by clicking the eye icon to the right.  Step 6You can always bring it back by going to the Hidden tab and unhiding the text object you need. Setting up labels In addition to keys, you can also add labels to your text objects.To add, choose a text field in the plugin, click on it, and type the value into the Enter label field. You can specify as many labels as you need. Labels can be used for filtering the keys in the Smartcat project and during the export — for example, you can mark keys in screens for iOS apps with an “iOS” label, and then developers will be able to use this label as a filter when exporting strings from Smartcat project to iOS repository. Group actions You can apply key prefixes and labels to all text fields in the selected frames at once.To do that, select the frame(s) you want to apply these changes to, open the General tab in the plugin, and type the prefix in the Prefix field. Add labels to the Labels field. This prefix and labels will be applied to all keys in the selection. They’ll be colored purple so that you can easily see them. Sending content to Smartcat Follow these steps to send content for translation to Smartcat. Step 1When ready to send keys for translation to Smartcat, click Send to Smartcat in the bottom-right corner. Step 2Integration might identify some conflicts with information already stored in Smartcat – for instance, if there are keys with different values in Smartcat and Figma.In this case, you will see the conflict resolution field where you will be able to choose which value to preserve. If you choose Smartcat, then the value that is stored in Smartcat will be saved. Otherwise, we will replace it with the new value from Figma. Step 3If sending is completed successfully, you will see a confirmation screen with information on the keys that have been sent: Getting translations from Smartcat To transfer translations from Smartcat to Figma, click the Download button in the bottom-right corner. Handling key conflicts When setting up keys, you may face a situation when two or more keys are conflicting.It might happen when one and the same key is specified for two different texts. If it happens, you will see these strings highlighted in purple in the list of keys, and the active Errors tab. To resolve the conflict, you need to either change the key for one of the text objects. Or choose one text value to be applied to the keys.
