Actions

Translation

• Translate Translate interopability compatible files in Blackbird interoperability mode. If you’re only translating text (strings) then use Translate text instead. Advanced settings:
  • Output file handling: If using Blackbird’s interoperability mode, this determines the format of the output file. The default Blackbird behavior is to convert to XLIFF for future steps. You can change it to output the original file format (if you don’t want to continue language operationts after this step).
  • Context: Add additional context to the translation, this can be anything of relevance.
  • Creativity: Randomness level (0.1–1.0, defaults to 0.7).
• Translate text Translate a single text string. Useful when translating small messages. For larger content and files use Translate instead.

Example

The example above shows a Bird that is triggered as soon as an entry is published in Contentful, said entry is then exported and translated through Mansa before being imported back into Contentful.
