Step 1: configure your entry form
Start by setting up your form as usual. Add categories, tabs, and fields so you can collect information from entrants. Your translation fields will be separate copies of the original fields. These receive the translated text.
To create fields for translated content:
- In the Manage go to Settings > Entries > Fields
- Tick the fields you want to translate
- Open the Action drop-down and select Copy
- Wait for the copied fields to appear in the list with “(copy)” in the title
- Select a copied field to edit it
- Update the label and short title so you can identify it during field mapping
- Move the field to another location in the form if needed
- Select Save
- Repeat for any additional fields
Step 2: configure the integration
Each integration instance supports one language.
- In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Integrations > Marketplace
- Under 'Translation', select DeepL
- In the popup, select Configure
- Edit the integration name if needed, then select Next
- Review the information in the 'Connect' step and select Next
- In 'Events', choose how to trigger the translation
- On entry submitted: triggered when the entrant submits the entry
- On entry tagged: triggered when a chosen tag is applied to the entry (case-sensitive)
- In 'Resources', select your form
- Choose the language you want to translate into
- Go to the 'Field mapping' tab
- Select Add to field map for each field you want to translate
- Pair each original field with its translation field
- Select Finish
Fields are translated when an entry is submitted or resubmitted—not when it is saved.
