How It Works

The Translation Portal is a web-based tool that allows users to quickly translate any text and file between different languages. It’s perfect for quick needs, tone testing, and translations outside of the traditional project workflow.


Accessing the Portal and Settings

To access the Translation Portal:

  1. In the sidebar menu, click Tools > Portal

  2. Enable the Portal using the “Enable Portal” toggle.

  3. Select the desired Organization Unit from the dropdown.

  4. Select the logo of your portal

  5. Select the roles you want to access the direct portal and the roles that should access the TMS flow normally.

  6. Configure your default translation preferences as described in the next section.


Sous Chef Configuration

The Sous Chef allows you to customize how the AI translates your text. The main settings are:

  1. Audience: Define who the translation is for (e.g., medical professionals, children).

  2. Instructions: Any specific guidance, such as “Keep brand names untranslated” or “Use simple vocabulary.”

  3. Formality: Choose between Informal, Neutral, or Formal language.

  4. Tone: Select the overall tone (Artistic, Professional, Technical, etc.).

  5. Creativity Level: Adjust if the translation should be more literal or more creative.

Click Save to apply your default settings.

After saving, your selected preferences will be used by default for future translations. If your needs change, you can always return to this screen and modify your default settings.

Additionally, while using the Portal, you can adjust your Sous Chef settings at any time without leaving the translation workspace. Simply click on the Tools tab next to the text input area to update your translation preferences for that specific translation.

When you adjust the Sous Chef settings using Tools, your changes will apply only to that session. Your default settings remain unchanged.


How to Translate Text

Once your Portal is configured:

  1. Click “Go to Portal.”

  2. Paste your text into the input area.

  3. Choose the source and target languages using the dropdown selectors.

  4. Click “Translate” to instantly receive your result.


How to Translate Files


Follow the flow below to translate files.

  1. Click in the “+” icon and add the file.

  2. After adding the file, remember that it will translate according to your Org. Unit settings, that is, if you configured your Translation Settings to use MT, it will use MT, if you configured TM, it will use TM and so it goes.

  3. After completing the translation, you can download the translated file.

  4. Upon completion of the file translation, the Confidence Score will be generated. This functionality is nothing more than a proportion generated by the Bureau's Smells tool that evaluates the quality of the translation.


Session Tab

In the sessions tab, you can switch between translations performed at different times, so your history is saved temporarily.
