¶ Summary
In this step, you will use the deepL-API to auto-translate your text into another language.
Note
While usage of the auto-translation-tool is highly encouraged and should be utilized where needed, there are two aspects to consider.
- Usage of this tool will eventually accumulate some cost. While smaller amounts of translations are generally ignored, translating tens of thousands of characters will have to be paid for.
- The translation tool works well in general, but smaller texts, such as "Start measurement" might be translated in an inoptimal way. Whereever possible, check the translated result - while it will be understandable, there might be a more favorable way to phrase it.
You will never be charged for using this tool in order to follow this tutorial (within reason, taking advantage of this will be seen).
¶ How to
- Return to the page where you create your first language.
- Create a second language (a different one than the one you already created).
- Next to your first language, click on the 'Translate'-button.
- On the next page, select your second language in the box in the upper right corner
- Click the 'translate'-button next to your placeholder
- Wait for the servers to translate your string, then save by pressing the 'Save'-icon.
Now, users that select the second language you entered will now also see a valid text instead of your placeholder.
Note
The buttons between the language-selection-boxes (the two arrows at the top of the screen, above the red arrow highlighted in the second image) can be used to translate all texts from one language into the other. Use with caution.
