How to Automate Your Zendesk Guide Translation

After importing the required content to the Cabinet, you can skip the Translate and Push steps and automate the whole translation process.

1. Navigate to the Automation tab from your Zendesk Help Center integration project. You'll find individual Pull, Translate, and Push tabs to enable automation for all.


2. Enable Auto-pull access to import the updated content from Zendesk for articles already present in 'Cabinet.' This will allow Lingpad to automatically import articles every 24 hours at ± 00:00 UTC approximately.

3. Now go to the Translate option from above and enable Auto-translate access to translate your articles automatically.  Select the default status and languages for AI content translation.


Note: Select the default status as Approved if you want to auto-push all the translated content.

4. Next, enable Auto-push access from the Push tab to allow Lingpad to export the translated content to Zendesk automatically. Select the languages and status of the pushed content and click on the Save button.


Note: 'Current status' is where articles are pushed based on their status in Zendesk. 'Drafts only' will push content in drafts, and 'Published only' will push content as Published, irrespective of their current status on Zendesk.

It's as easy as that. Now, automate the whole Zendesk Guide translation after an initial setup and let Lingpad handle the rest. You can also add your team members to Lingpad at no extra cost and let them set up automation for you. Here's more information on the types of users you can add.
