codeit provides support for auto-translation of verbatims, as well as the functionality for when your verbatims need to be manually translated by a linguist. Translations can be added or edited within the coding screens, which may be suitable for small numbers of ad-hoc translations. Further, if you need to translate a large batch of verbatims, then it is sometimes useful to export the whole batch for translation in an external process. This is particularly true if you want to import verbatims into third party translation software. Watch the full video guide on how to handle multi-lingual projects here.
When translations are used in codeit
The table below describes the situations where translation is used within codeit.
| Translation Scenario | Benefits | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-translation | Fast and does not require the input, time and cost of manual translators. | Auto-translation will inevitably not get everything right, as some words are spelled the same across multiple languages etc. |
| Manual translation within codeit | Useful for smaller projects, coders who speak the specific language can complete translation as well as coding | Unless client wishes to see/read full verbatims, typically you would only require coding or translated verbatim |
| Manual translation externally | Consider when;
| Additional time and cost to be planned into project Find out more about exporting and importing the translation feed file here. |
