AI Assisted Translations
What does this module do?
Once installed and configured by your administrator, this module adds an AI translation button throughout JContent. With a single click you can:
- Translate an individual content item while editing it.
- Translate a full page (and everything on it) from the page header.
Translations can be previewed before saving or or applied directly to the content.

FAQ
Using glossaries (terminology consistency)
Glossaries make sure brand names, product names, and specific terms are always translated the same way.
What you need to do
-
Prepare a CSV file with your terminology. The file needs at minimum a
keycolumn and one column per language (e.g.en,fr_FR,el_GR).Example:
key en fr_FR el_GR ms_MY oyster_sauce Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce Sauce aux huîtres Lee Kum Kee Σαλτσα Στρειδιων Lee Kum Kee Sos Tiram Lee Kum Kee stir_fry stir-fry sauter au wok τηγανισμα στο γουοκ tumis -
Upload the CSV file to your site's glossary folder in Jahia (your administrator can tell you the exact path — by default it is
/files/glossariesunder your site). -
That's it. The next translation request will automatically pick up the glossary and apply it.
Tip: You can have multiple CSV files in the glossary folder (one per topic, brand, or domain). They are all loaded and merged automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to configure anything? No — setup is handled by your Jahia administrator (API keys, provider selection, glossary folder path). You just use the buttons.
Which AI provider is being used? Either DeepL or OpenAI, depending on your organisation's configuration. The experience is the same from jContent regardless of the provider.
Can I translate into multiple languages at once? From the page-level action you can trigger one target language per run. Run the action again and switch the UI language to translate into additional languages.
Will translation overwrite my existing content? For the Edit / Translate screen flow, suggested values are filled into the form but not saved until you click Save — you can discard any field you disagree with. For the page-level flow, the translation is applied directly. Make sure to review the result afterwards.
My glossary terms are not being applied — what should I check?
- Make sure the CSV file is saved in the correct folder.
- Make sure the column headers match the language codes used by your site.
- Ask your administrator to verify the glossary folder path in the module configuration.
