Introducing Community Post Translations Powered by Gemini
Hi everyone,
One thing we've always wanted for this community is for it to feel genuinely open to everyone, regardless of where you're based or what language you work in day to day. Our communities (Android Enterprise, ChromeOS + Cameyo and Chrome Enterprise) are a global space, and the conversations happening here shouldn't be gated by language.
So we're really pleased to share that we're rolling out Community post translations (powered by Gemini) across our Customer Communities as a first step toward making that a reality. Currently we support translations in English, Dutch, German, French, Portuguese, Portuguese (BR), Spanish, and Italian. If you’d like additional languages added please let us know!
The feature allows you to translate a post (or the whole thread) into one of the languages mentioned above. Simply click the “AI Translate All” on the original post or “AI Translate” on an individual reply and choose the language you’d like and let Gemini do the rest. We've also done our homework on the technical side, adding Enterprise-specific vocabulary to an exempt list so terms like zero-touch, AMAPI, and others don't get mangled in translation.
Please bear in mind this feature is only available for registered users.
Plus, as you will see it is an optional function, so if you’d prefer not to use it, this is completely up to you!
These translations are powered by Gemini, so do bear in mind this is beta and may not always be perfect. That said, if something feels particularly off, feel free to DM
A few things we'd love to hear from you on:
- Have you spotted any translation errors, particularly around technical terms?
- If you post in a language other than English, how's the experience feeling so far?
- Are there any languages or use cases you think we should be paying closer attention to?
Cheers,
Kirk
