#Use EasyTranslate in your Hygraph project

As you create content, it will display in the EasyTranslate app view of the Content editor. From there, you will be able to send your content for translation to EasyTranslate, then sync those translations with your Hygraph content.

Finally, after syncing the content, you will be able to view the translated content normally by accessing the Content editor.

#Send for translation

There are two ways to send your content for translation:

• Send multiple entries at the same time using the app view form
• Send a single entry from inside the entry edit view

The following fields are supported to be exported to EasyTranslate:

• Single-line text
• Multi-line text
• Markdown
• Richtext
• Slug

Export is also supported for Basic and Modular Components, but only for the supported field types.

Take into account that only localizable fields can be submitted to EasyTranslate. So the fields must be set as localized fields when added to the model.

Localized field checkbox

You will find the Localized field checkbox at the bottom of the field details screen, which displays when you create or edit a field in the Schema editor.

#Troubleshooting

If the Content Editor displays the message This model has no localized fields under localizations in the sidebar, while the Schema Editor has localizations configured, go to Project settings > Locales. There, make sure your project has at least two languages configured.

Locales in project settings

If you have only one language configured there, select another language for localizations using the Display name dropdown, then click on Add.
