Translating Form Submissions

This article shows you how to translate the foreign language text that website visitors submit on a form. The automated translation service translates the script into your preferred language.

The Sinorbis Automated Translator produces fast translations. Most of the time, translation accuracy is satisfactory (or better) in representing the main ideas. However, automated translation technology is still limited at this stage, especially for long passages. It cannot replace human translators or interpreters when there is a need for high-quality translations.

1  Adjusting your language settings

The automatic translator takes foreign language text from a submitted form and changes it into your preferred language. To check or update your preferred language setting, open the Profile and Settings page.

Go to the top right corner of the Dashboard page and click the icon beside your account name. A drop-down menu displays. Select Profile & Preferences. 

Click the Locale field and select a language in the drop-down menu. The system updates your preference. There is no Save button.

To view form submission data, go to the Forms page. Click ENGAGE > Forms.
