Basic Usage TYPO3 v14

Once the extension is installed and the API key provided, we are ready to start translating pages, content elements and/or records.

Translate Page with or without contents elements
Translate Content Elements
Translate Record

Note

TYPO3 v14 revamped the overall localization process looking different and also working in a different way then in TYPO3 v13.

See TYPO3 v13 Basic Usage if you are on TYPO3 v13.

Translate Page with or without contents elements

deepltranslate-core respects the new translation workflow and shares the same wizard provided by TYPO3 v14, which means that translating a page and optional directly the contents are started using the generic translation dropdown.

Generic translation dropdown to create translation
Select content elements to translate
Select Translate localization mode

Note

DeepL based translation is only available for Translate localization mode and will not be available if Copy localization mode is selected here.
Select Translate with DeepL localization handler
Review and confirm selected localization options

Translate Content Elements

Once the extension is installed and the API key provided, we are ready to start translating content elements. When translating a content element, there are four additional options besides the normal translate and copy.

DeepL Translate (auto detect).
DeepL Translate.

Start translate of missing records for language
Select source language

In case content element translation for current page already exists TYPO3 allows to select the source language to translate content elements from.

Note

This step is not shown in case no translated content exists**
Select content elements to translate
Select Translate localization mode

Note

DeepL based translation is only available for Translate localization mode and will not be available if Copy localization mode is selected here.
Select Translate with DeepL localization handler
Review and confirm selected localization options
Localization is in progress
Localization completed successfully

Translate Record

In list view, you are able to translate single elements by clicking the DeepL translate button for the language you want.

Note

In TYPO3 v13 extra localize to action are provided and not available in case no DeepL translation configured for a language. In TYPO3 v14 the action is always available and in case the selected language does not have a valid DeepL translation the Translate with DeepL localization handler will not show up.

Attention

Fields of custom extensions need to be properly configured in TCA to enable translation.

Start localization for a record with Localize to in the Records Module

Note

The process is the same as already visually demonstrated above. Dedicated images will be added in the next extension release.
