❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI Task Translation?

AI Task Translation automatically translates the content of your task forms into multiple languages. Once a translation is generated, employees will see the task in their preferred language—no manual work required.


Do I need to set up languages before translating tasks?

Yes. Before generating translations, you must enable your target languages via:
Configuration → General → Languages

Only enabled languages will appear as available translation options.


Can I translate a task into multiple languages at once?

Yes.
When selecting “Add AI Translation” from the language dropdown in the task preview panel, you can choose multiple target languages at once before clicking “Request Translation.”


What content is translated?

AI translations include all user-facing content in the task form:

  • 🏷️ Field labels and descriptions

  • 🗂️ Section titles

  • 🔘 Button labels (Next, Previous, Submit)

  • 📝 Text and typography blocks within the form

Note: Employee-entered data (such as form responses) is not translated.


Can I edit a translation after it’s generated?

Yes.
After generating a translation, select the desired language from the dropdown in the preview panel. You can then manually edit any field before saving.


What happens if I update the original task?

Existing translations are not automatically updated when the original task changes.

If you update the default-language version, you’ll need to:

  • Regenerate the translation, or

  • Manually update it

This ensures all versions stay in sync.


How is the employee’s language determined?

Tasks are displayed in the employee’s preferred language, as set in their profile.

If no translation is available, the system falls back to the default language.

🔧 Troubleshooting

A language I need isn’t available

Make sure the language is enabled:
Configuration → General → Languages

Only enabled languages appear as translation options.


“Add AI Translation” is not visible

Check the following:

  • You are viewing the task in the Preview panel (right-hand side) under Configuration → Tasks

  • You have the required admin permissions

  • At least one additional language (besides the default) is enabled


The translation is incorrect or incomplete

AI translations are generated automatically and may not always be perfect.

You can:

  • Review the translation in the preview panel

  • Manually edit any field after selecting the relevant language


Employees still see the default language

Possible causes:

  • The employee’s preferred language is not set

  • No translation exists for their language

  • The language is not enabled in system settings
