Users of the Social Media Kit can now directly order translations from Supertext as mentioned in our main Blogpost. This post is a little manual and FAQ.
Setup
First, make sure that the language settings are setup according to your needs. We often offer the choice between different types of the same language. E.g. with English, you can choose between UK, US and Ireland.
For this you have to go to “Einstellungen SMK” –> Dienste –> Supertext Übersetzungen –> Bearbeiten” and then to “Sprachen Einstellungen”.
Usage
You can send an an article into translation either directly from the article overview, by pressing on the plus sign.
Or inside an article with the “Sprache” menu bar on the right.
Afterwards you can choose which parts of your post you want to have translated and decide when you need it back. Adding a comment always helps us with the translation.
Once the post is translated, it will automatically appear in the Social Media Kit and you will get an email from us. In the meantime the post looks like this:
