Harness the power of ProcessMaker AI to translate the contents of every screen in your processes at once. The Process Translation feature supports multiple languages and provides both automatic and manual translation for screens in a process.
Users automatically see screens in their local language based on their user profile or browser settings. Screen translations are generated automatically using ProcessMaker AI and can be later modified manually as well, if needed.
Screens are translated as participants view them during a case. Translations are also visible in preview mode within the Screen Builder.
As the original screen is not directly translated, other ProcessMaker Platform assets, such as Collections, remain unaffected by the translated screens.
Process translations are imported and exported with processes.
The screen translation displayed for logged-in users is based on the language selected at login. If the screens are not translated, they displays in the default English language.
For anonymous web entries, select the Default Anon Language option to specify the default language for screens. Otherwise, the translation is determined by the web browser's language preference setting.
