2.1.3.9 Translation Services

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 and later implement Translation Services, which is used to automatically machine translate SharePoint content. Translation Services allows documents in SharePoint document libraries to be translated in one of two ways:

  • With queued translation jobs, large numbers of documents can be submitted to a queue which is processed over time. Protocol clients can add single files, folders, or entire document libraries to a job. The translated output files can be saved to either the same document library or a different library for storing localized content. The protocol client can query the status of a previously submitted job.

  • Immediate translation jobs are used for smaller, higher priority jobs, such as when a user wishes to translate a single document interactively. Immediate jobs bypass the queue and are processed as fast as possible. As with queued translation jobs, output files can be automatically saved to any document library.
