--- title: Translations description: Discover Storyblok's documentation with comprehensive developer guides, user manuals, API references, and examples to help you get the most out of the headless CMS platform. url: https://www.storyblok.com/docs/manuals/translations --- # Translations Storyblok offers several approaches to managing multilingual content, each suitable for different teams, content strategies, and operational scopes: field-level translation, folder-level translation, and space-level translation. > [!TIP] > To learn more, check the [Internationalization concept](https://www.storyblok.com/docs/concepts/internationalization). Some projects combine these approaches and set up separate folders for each language (folder-level), where stories within these folders include some translatable fields (field-level). Other projects that may require complete customization of structure and content use separate spaces for each language (space-level). Depending on the approach, editors can translate specific fields and entire stories, either manually or with AI. > [!NOTE] > AI Translations is part of [Storyblok Labs](https://www.storyblok.com/docs/manuals/labs) and is still in beta. ## Set up field-level translations Before you can translate specific fields or entire stories, define at least one target language and set related space preferences. Open **Settings** → **Internationalization**: 1. Under **Languages**, select the languages to add. 2. Under **Alternative Versions**, choose whether to associate translated story versions in the Visual Editor. 3. Under **Flag display**, choose if or which flag icons display in the Visual Editor. 4. Under **Publish translations individually**, choose whether to publish individual versions instead of all translations simultaneously. To [set fields as](https://www.storyblok.com/docs/concepts/internationalization#set) [**Translatable**](https://www.storyblok.com/docs/concepts/internationalization#set), you need access to the **Block library**. ## Generate AI translations Storyblok supports AI translations in dozens of languages and locales, letting editors generate machine-based translations in the Visual Editor. 48 supported languages - Albanian - Amharic - Arabic - Bengali - Bulgarian - Catalan - Chinese - Croatian - Czech - Danish - Dutch - English - Estonian - Finnish - French - Georgian - German - Greek - Hebrew - Hungarian - Indonesian - Italian - Japanese - Kazakh - Korean - Latvian - Lithuanian - Malay - Nepali - Norwegian - Persian - Polish - Portuguese - Romanian - Russian - Serbian - Slovak - Slovenian - Spanish - Swahili - Swedish - Tagalog - Thai - Turkish - Ukrainian - Urdu - Vietnamese - Welsh To use AI translations in your space, enable the feature in **Settings** → **Labs**. ### Translate a story with AI To translate all the text-based fields in a story, open the **Languages** menu in the Visual Editor, hover over the target language, and select **AI Translate**. Translate a story with AI. Confirm whether to translate all fields marked as **Translatable** from the **Default** language into the selected target language. To regenerate translations for previously translated fields, select **Overwrite fields that have already been translated**. ## **Translate individual fields** To translate a single field in a story, open the story in the Visual Editor and select the target language from the **Languages** menu. Every supported field has a **Translate** toggle with a globe icon next to its name. When you activate field translation, a new menu appears with the following options: - **Show** or **Hide**: display the default language value. - **Translate using AI**: generate an AI translation. - **Add default language content**: insert the default language value. - **Open in Google Translate**: use Google's service to translate.
