If you want to fully automate the translation of web pages or segment translation, you can enable the auto-detection of the source language. This functionality is very useful, when you want to translate a large number of web pages to the same target language, but their source language is different. The same applies to segment translation.
Procedure
- Open the web browser on which the SDL Web Browser plug-in is installed.
- Select the SDL logo icon (
) from your browser toolbar.
- In the settings dialog, under Source Language, select Automatic. Then, select a Target Language to translate your content into.
Note: The source language which is auto-detected must be supported by a Language Pair combination on your Machine Translation application (SDL ETS or SDL BeGlobal). Otherwise, an error message is displayed.
- (Optional): In the settings dialog, toggle on Continuous Translation and/or Translation Bar.
- Select Done.
The plug-in will continue to work as before, except that it now handles multiple source languages.
