Translate tags and tag categories with Showpad AI

  • Updated

Note: This article is about the new beta Admin App, which is still in development. Changes may occur. Please provide feedback directly in the beta app.

Globalization has made working with teams in other countries a normal occurrence. This can make organizing information across different countries with many languages challenging. Showpad AI is here to help. When enabled, Showpad AI will use the languages defined in your Showpad instance to automatically generate and apply translations to all your tags and tag categories.

Translations for your tags and tag categories enable you to establish a consistent taxonomy throughout your organization, streamlining content management processes and enhancing the browsing and searching experience for Showpad users.

Note: The AI translation of tags and categories works properly if the primary tags are in English.

You can enable Showpad AI to automatically translate your tags and tag categories from English into any of the following 31 available languages:

Arabic Finnish Indonesian Russian
Chinese (Simplified) French Italian Spanish
Chinese (Traditional) French (Canada) Japanese Spanish (Mexico)
Croatian German Malay Swedish
Czech Greek Norwegian (Bokmål) Thai
Danish Hebrew Polish Turkish
Dutch Hungarian Portuguese (Brazil) Vietnamese
English Korean Portuguese (Portugal)  

Note: We are committed to providing you with high-quality, secure AI-generated content. See our Generative-AI FAQ to learn about the data privacy and quality controls we use with our AI features.
