[Translator for SharePoint](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/solutions?hsLang=en#translator-for-sharepoint) # Getting started (Translator for SharePoint) ## How to configure and use the Translator for SharePoint solution by Accelerator 365   The Translator for SharePoint solution from Accelerator 365 relieves content editors of manual translation and allows editors to automate the translation of SharePoint site content in an instant. Helping content owners to deliver the translated information their users need at speed and at scale. ### Jump to - [**Recommended setup considerations**](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/translator-for-sharepoint-getting-started#recommended-setup) - [**Configuring the solution for the first time**](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/translator-for-sharepoint-getting-started#first-time-configuration) - [**Translating a language page**](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/translator-for-sharepoint-getting-started#translating-a-page) - [**Translating multiple language pages**](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/translator-for-sharepoint-getting-started#translating-multiple-pages) --- ### Recommended setup considerations The Translator for SharePoint solution stores its data in SharePoint lists. This includes data such as the global settings, in addition to translation logs and statuses (see the [Technical details](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/translator-for-sharepoint-technical-details?hsLang=en#data-storage) page for further information). These lists, referred to as the "**data source**", can be created via the web part property pane and do not require manual setup. We recommend creating the Translator for SharePoint data source on a single site so that all configurations are stored centrally, and connecting to this data source for use across other sites in scope for translation. **Note:** only users in the Site Owners group can create a data source. **Note:** it is only possible to create one data source per site. --- ### Configuring the solution for the first time The Translator for SharePoint solution has several settings that can be edited when added to a site. 1. Translator for SharePoint will appear as an extension at the top of the site. If you have not already added additional languages to your site, click on the **Open settings** button. This will navigate you to a SharePoint settings page where you can add languages to the site. ![Open settings](https://support.accelerator365.com/hubfs/Open%20settings.svg) 2. Once you have added languages to your site, go back to the site's home page and click on the **Complete setup** button on Translator for SharePoint to open the web part properties pane. 3. Select **Create data source** from the first section in the property pane. **Note:** you will first need to select a site for the data to live. This could be any site but if you choose to select a site different from the current site please ensure that potential editors have read access.   ![Translator for SharePoint - Source](https://support.accelerator365.com/hubfs/Translator%20for%20SharePoint%20-%20Source.svg) 4. Configure the **Microsoft Translator settings**: 1. **Microsoft Translator Key:** This is the key for your instance of the Azure Translator. This key will have been created by your Azure subscription Owner/Contributor during the installation process (see step 9 on the [Installation instructions](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/translator-for-sharepoint-installation-instructions?hsLang=en) page). 2. **Microsoft Translator Region:** This is the location/region of your Azure Translator resource and can be located with your key as above. 3. **Custom Translator Model Category ID:** An *optional feature* to utilise the custom translations feature from the Microsoft Foundry service, allowing you to customise the default translation model to suit your organisation. Further details can be found on this [Microsoft page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/custom-translator/azure-ai-foundry/overview). ![Translator for SharePoint - Microsoft Translator](https://support.accelerator365.com/hubfs/Translator%20for%20SharePoint%20-%20Microsoft%20Translator.svg) 5. Enable or disable the **attribution information**. This is an optional setting allowing you to automatically add an attribution text alongside translated content e.g. to inform readers that the content has been machine translated. **Note:** if used, the attribution text will automatically be appended to the foot of each translated page.   ![Translator for SharePoint - Options](https://support.accelerator365.com/hubfs/Translator%20for%20SharePoint%20-%20Options.svg) 6.
