How to Get Started with Front Knowledge Base Localization for Admins

Global brands that use Front's customer support and operations platform face a challenge to offer multi-language information to their customers. It's crucial to provide native language support and information to customers from diverse regions who speak their native language.

This challenge needs to be resolved without overburdening your support team or stretching your budgets. Lingpad is the solution for localizing your Front knowledge base articles.

It's an AI-powered translation automation tool that offers human-like translation of your knowledge base content. It allows you to fetch, translate, store, manage, and even automate the entire process.

But before we get to that, let's see the step-by-step process to add languages to your Front Knowledge Base and create an API key on Front for Lingpad to translate your articles:

How to Add Languages for Your Front Knowledge Base Translation

1. Log in to your Front support platform. Navigate to the Knowledge Base icon from the top panel and open the same.

2. Go to your knowledge base Settings from the left side panel and open the Content tab.

3. Open the Additional languages drop-down, select the desired languages for your knowledge base content translation, and click on Apply.

Note: Additional languages drop-down is only available for Front users with Scale plan as Front provides multi-language support only to Scale plan subscribers.
Now that you have added the required languages for translation, let's get to know how to create an API key for content translation.

How to Create an API Key for Knowledge Base Translation

1. Head over to your Front platform's Settings and open the Developers dashboard.

2. Click on API Tokens and then click on the Create API Token button.

3. This will open a popup, from where you can add the API Token Name and select Scope. Give your API token a name and select a Knowledge Base as scope from the drop-down.

4. Now, click on the Create button. This will create an API key for Lingpad to localize your knowledge base content.

Copy this API key and use it while creating the Lingpad X Front KB translation project on Lingpad.
