Translating Form Submissions

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

The Sinorbis Automated Translator produces fast translations. Most of the time, translation accuracy is satisfactory, or better, in terms of representing main ideas. However, at this stage, automated translation technology is still limited, 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 Chinese text from a submitted form and changes it into your preferred language. To check or update your preferred language setting, go to the Profile and Settings page.

  1. In the top right corner of the Dashboard page, click the icon beside your account name. A drop-down menu displays.
  2. Select Profile & Settings. The Account Summary page displays.
  3. On the right side of the page, click the box beside Language. A drop-down menu displays.
  4. Select your prefered language. The system updates your preference; there is no Save button.
