Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the Tilde Website Translator Drupal module?

The module automates the translation process for your website content, making it accessible to a wider audience. It integrates with Tilde machine translation service to provide quick and efficient translations.


Can I edit machine translated content?

Yes, you can edit machine translated content just like any other Drupal content. The module preserves the original content, allowing you to refine the translations as needed.


Is machine translation accurate?

Machine translation accuracy varies depending on the complexity of the text, the language pair, and the chosen machine translation engine. While it can provide a good starting point, human review and editing are often necessary for high-quality translations.

You can improve machine translation accuracy by using glossaries.


Can I choose which content types to translate?

Yes, you can select specific content types (e.g., pages, custom blocks, taxonomy terms) to be translated. This allows you to control the scope of the translation process.


Can the module translate images and media?

Users must provide localized images and media content and add into the translated pages.


Will translations slow down my website?

Translated content loads at the same speed as regular pages. However, if a page hasn't been pre-translated, visitors may experience a delay while the translation is generated.
