Translating Document Content in Zoho Writer

How to translate document content in Zoho Writer

Overview

Zoho Writer has launched a seamless, in-editor translation feature designed to eliminate the need for external tools. With this enhancement, you can create, format, review, and translate content—all within the same interface.

Steps

  1. Open the document you want to translate
  2. Click Tools > Translate Content.
  3. In the Content Translation menu, choose the target language from the drop-down list. (Writer auto-detects the source language)
  4. Translation options:
    1. To translate an entire document:
      1. Save it as a new document. The entire document’s text is automatically loaded on the left side of the panel. You can choose to either replace the original content with the translated version. 
    2. To translate a specific part of a document:
      1. Select the content you want to translate.
      2. Right-click and click Translate content to.
      3. Choose your target language. The translated content will appear inline, right next to or replacing the original. You can now review, edit, and share the translated content or document as needed.

Note

  1. If you're a collaborator, you must have edit or share access to the document you want to translate.
  2. You must be connected to the Internet to use the translation feature.
  3. If you save the translated content as a new document, the original document remains unchanged, and translated document opens in a new tab.
  4. When translating specific parts of a document, ensure that you select at least 50 valid characters (excluding spaces, special characters, emojis, and Unicode).
