[BETA] Automatic Translation on Save
Since versions 14.3.0/13.15.0/12.21.0, the AI Suite can automatically translate content elements into all active languages of your page as soon as you save them in the default language. You no longer need to trigger the translation manually. The AI Suite automatically keeps your translations in sync with the original content.
For Administrators with Access to Extension Configuration Only
This feature must first be activated and configured by an administrator, see Configuration. Once it is active, it will automatically be available to you as an editor, provided your backend user group has the necessary permissions.
How Does Automatic Translation Work?
When you save a content element in the original language, the AI Suite automatically translates it for all languages of your page for which there is no standalone (manually detached) translation yet. Existing translations linked to the AI Suite will be updated to remain in sync with your changes to the original content. Translations that you have already manually detached from the original content (so-called “Free Mode” translations) will not be overwritten.
When is Translation Done?
Depending on the administrative configuration, the translation occurs in one of three ways:
- Page Module (applied when opening): The translation is prepared and applied as soon as you open the corresponding page in the page module.
- Directly on Save: The translation is created immediately after saving the content element.
- CLI Scheduler: The translation is created as a background task and processed via the AI Suite CLI commands or the TYPO3 Scheduler, see CLI Commands.
Note for Many Changes at Once
If you change a lot of content elements in one go (e.g., when saving an entire page), a configurable upper limit restricts the number of automatically translated elements per save operation. If this limit is exceeded, you will receive a corresponding message in the backend.
