Language Copy Wizard

Usage

The Language Copy wizard is a guided experience for creating multilingual content and content structure.

A Language Copy is a copy of a site, section or a page which is translated into another language from a source site (for example, English website). We can use the machine translation feature of the wizard to translate source copy to other languages. The AEM will maintain the relationship between source and language copy.

Once a language site is created using the Language Copy method, authors can choose to make changes to the machine-translated text.

Setting up site’s languages using the Language Copy Wizard

Step 1. Create source site. For example, English.

Step 2. Select the source language node (‘English’ shown in the example below) > click Create on top-left > click ‘Language Copy’

Step 3. check the language node (‘English’ shown in the example below)

Step 4. Select Target Language(s) and choose Microsoft translator trial licenses with default configuration
