๐Ÿ‘‹ Question for the Typeform community:

ย 

If you use AI translation and then make some manual edits, what happens if you run the AI translation again after adding a new page?

ย 

๐Ÿ‘‰ Does it overwrite your previous edits or only translate the new content?

ย 

How do you handle this on your side to avoid losing your changes? ๐Ÿ‘€

Hi โ€‹@Questionaire oberAย another good question!

If you re-run translate with AI for a language it will regenerate the whole translation file, so you may lose manual edits that youโ€™ve made. Weโ€™d recommend downloading the template for that language, adding translations for the new page in the translation column and then uploading the template again. This will replace the existing file but with your edits and new string of translations.

Hereโ€™s the Help Center article on multi-language forms which includes info on using and editing AI translations. Hope that helps!ย

Thanks for your answers ๐Ÿ™

I still have a few more questions:

ย 

๐Ÿ‘‰ If I only change images (without touching the text), do the updates automatically apply across all languages, or do they need to be updated manually for each translation?

ย 

๐Ÿ‘‰ And if itโ€™s manual, where exactly do you go to update the images in each language?

ย 

Thanks in advance for your help ๐Ÿ™Œ
