The Google Translate integration automatically translates content submitted in an application form into another language using Google’s machine translation service.
This is useful for multilingual reviewing, allowing reviewers to review applications submitted in different languages.
Common uses
| Use case | Description |
| Multilingual reviewing | Translate applications into a common language for reviewers. |
| International programs | Support applications submitted in multiple languages. |
| Reviewer accessibility | Help reviewers understand content without manual translation. |
Available languages
The integration supports a wide range of languages via Google Translate. Google regularly adds new languages, so refer to Google Translate for the most up-to-date list.
Step 1: configure your application form
Before setting up the integration, prepare your fields for translation.
- In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Applications > Fields
- Select the fields you want to translate
- Open the Action drop-down and click Copy
- Wait for the copied fields to appear with “(copy)” in the title
- Click each copied field and:
- Update the Label and Short title
- Remove “copy” from the name
- Make it clear this is a translation field
- (Optional) Move the field to another tab
- Click Save
- Repeat for all required fields
Step 2: configure the integration
- In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Integrations > Marketplace
- Select Google Translate
- Click Configure
- (Optional) Rename the integration and click Next
- Continue through the 'Connect' step
- In 'Resources', select your application form
- Choose your target language
- Open the 'Field mapping' tab
- Click Add to field map and pair original fields to their corresponding translation fields
- Click Finish
How it works
- Translations are triggered when an application is submitted.
- Selected fields are translated into the chosen language.
- Translated content is stored in the mapped fields.
- Original applications content remains unchanged.
Good to know
- The Google Translate integration is a paid add-on. Contact the client success team to activate or trial the integration.
- Each integration instance supports one target language—add additional instances for more languages.
- Translations occur on submission only, not when saving or editing applications.
- Always use copied fields for translations to preserve original content. Using original fields for translations will overwrite applicant data and is not recommended.
- Translation fields can be placed in a separate tab for clarity.
- Translation fields can be hidden from applicants by disabling Read, Write, and Required permissions.
