</Note>

## What you can do

Maintain several languages and keep product terms consistent. Where to find it: Knowledge → Glossaries and Translations

## Before you start

* Additional languages enabled for the selected centre.
* Articles to translate and a reviewer who understands the target language.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Create a glossary for names or terms that should stay consistent, and review its language entries.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select articles and target languages for a translation batch. Review the source versions before starting.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Inspect batch progress and individual failures; correct the reported problem before retrying failed items.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Review each translation for meaning, links, formatting and local wording. Approve and publish according to the centre’s workflow.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    When a source article changes, inspect stale translations and update them before relying on the older text.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Example

Keep a product name unchanged while translating the instructions around it into French.

## Things to know

* Translation output still needs editorial review.
* A source update can make an existing translation stale; it does not mean that translated instructions are still accurate.

## What happens next

<Check>
  Readers can choose a maintained language version, with translations reviewed against their source.
</Check>

## If something goes wrong

<Warning>
  * Target language missing: enable it on the centre first.
  * Batch failed: open the item result and check input, permissions and any AI/provider requirement.
</Warning>
