Translating web pages with source language auto-detection

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

  1. Open the web browser on which the SDL Web Browser plug-in is installed.
  2. Select the SDL logo icon (SDL Instant Translation Browser plug-in icon) from your browser toolbar.
  3. In the settings dialog, under Source Language, select Automatic. Then, select a Target Language to translate your content into.
  4. (Optional): In the settings dialog, toggle on Continuous Translation and/or Translation Bar.
  5. Select Done.
    The plug-in will continue to work as before, except that it now handles multiple source languages.
