Staff users can configure the translation mode used by iMIS Translation. The selected translation mode controls how iMIS Translation collects and translates new untranslated phrases.
Do the following to set up translation in iMIS:
- Go to Settings > Language translation > General.
- Select the Translation Mode:
- (None) – Does not collect or attempt to translate untranslated phrases.
- Learn only – Collects new untranslated phrases for an active dictionary but does not attempt to translate the phrases.
- Translate only – Translates phrases using the active dictionary for the selected language but does not collect any new untranslated phrases.
- Learn and translate known phrases – Collects new untranslated phrases and adds them to the active dictionary, and translates phrases already contained in the active dictionary for the selected language.
- Learn and translate using Microsoft® Translator – Collects new untranslated phrases and adds them to the active dictionary, and translates phrases already contained in the active dictionary for the selected language. If a translation is not present in the active dictionary, the phrase is translated into the selected language using Microsoft Azure Translator Text application.
Note: Microsoft Azure Translator Text API V2 will be discontinued on April 30, 2019.
You must upgrade iMIS to prevent the Learn and translate using Microsoft® Translator feature from ceasing to function.
If Learn and translate using Microsoft® Translator is selected, you must configure the Microsoft Azure Translator Text application. See Configuring Microsoft Azure Translator Text application for more information.
Note: Using the Microsoft Azure Translator Text application will drastically slow down iMIS. ASI recommends to only use this mode when initially capturing phrases.
If you are using one of the Learn modes to collect new phrases, you must first select the language in which you want to learn from the language translation drop-down. Once the correct language is displayed, navigate to the areas with the new content so the translator can learn these new phrases.
You must activate a dictionary before you can apply the dictionary to your website. See Activating a dictionary version for more information.
