Overview
Our Project Translation tool gives you the ability to translate the source file of your RFx. Once translated to the language of your choosing you will then configure and import as a new project. We rely on third-party translation services for the online translation.
- Only when the first file you import is translated will you be able to translate subsequent imported files.
- Project Translation for standard templates is not yet supported.
Use Case: When the RFP received is in a different language, you can translate the file using the Project Translation tool. Once the responses are complete, upon export you can translate back to the source language. For example, you receive a French RFP you can translate to English, work in English and then translate the responses back to French and then share it with the client.
