# Translate Settings

### Overview

Inline translation settings allow users to view content in their preferred language within the news feed. With two modes of inline translation—**On-Demand Inline Translation** and **Automatic Inline Translation**—users can rely on machine-generated translations for content that isn’t in their profile’s set language.

Admin users can toggle on-demand **OR** automatic inline translation for their domain. Both **cannot** be enabled simultaneously.&#x20;

### On-Demand Inline Translation

On-demand inline translation provides flexibility by allowing users to choose when they want to translate content.

**How It Works**

When this setting is enabled, users will see a **Show Translation** link beneath posts in languages different from their profile language. By clicking this link, the user can view an AI-generated translation instantly within the news feed.

As an example,

**Scenario**: A user’s profile language is set to German. They see a post in English on their feed.

**Solution**: The <img src="/files/aY02j1sqoVv7Lcq2ORrI" alt="" data-size="line"> **Show Translation ( "**<img src="/files/iKJfaN1MRSADtYN6Oebp" alt="" data-size="line"> **Siehe Übersetzung")** link appears under the post. When clicked, the post is translated into German.

This setting works on the following content types:

* Updates
* Questions
* Posts
* Comments
* Replies

{% hint style="info" %}
On-demand translation doesn’t extend to all content types. Pages, events, and other similar content are not translatable with this feature.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Since inline translation relies on AI-generated machine translations, there may be occasional inaccuracies, particularly with context or idiomatic expressions. Users should be aware of this potential limitation.
{% endhint %}

### Automatic Inline Translation

Automatic inline translation is more comprehensive, translating all qualifying content to the user’s preferred language without additional actions.

**How It Works**

With this setting enabled, the platform will automatically translate any content that isn’t in the logged-in user’s profile language. Users can then read content in their preferred language as soon as it appears on their feed.

As an example,

**Scenario**: A user’s profile language is set to German, and they encounter several posts in English.

**Solution**: The posts are automatically translated to German, and the user can read them without any additional clicks.

This setting works on the following content types:

* Updates
* Questions
* Posts
* Comments
* Replies

Like on-demand translation, this feature **does not** apply to content types such as pages or events.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Since automatic translation relies on AI-generated machine translations, there may be occasional inaccuracies, particularly with context or idiomatic expressions. Users should be aware of this potential limitation.
{% endhint %}

### Common Challenges with Automatic Translation

Some users may experience challenges with automatic translations due to the limitations of machine translation. While it offers convenience, AI-based translation may not always capture the nuances or context of the original content, leading to potential misunderstandings. For critical content, users may prefer manual translation or cross-referencing with a native speaker.
