3.7 Translation

SDMX Constructor allows users to manage multilingual metadata components easily. Users can choose from automatic or manual translation methods and edit translations using translation tables. The tool simplifies the translation process with standardised language codes and automation and helps users achieve accurate, high-quality translations.

Here are some tool features supporting the translation of SDMX artefacts:

• Translation into three languages: The tool supports translating content into three languages of your choice. It helps by following two automatic methods, but you can always do it manually if required.
• Automatic translation methods: Using the Google Translate API key, you can connect with Google’s translation services. Another automated way is using DeepL. The SDMX Constructor allows programmatic access to DeepL’s machine translation technology, bringing high-quality translation capabilities directly to the tool.
• Translation tables: Using these API keys, the SDMX Constructor provides translation tables, which allow users to edit suggested translations of metadata components in different languages. You can enter translations for different language codes, and the tool will automatically populate the translations in the appropriate fields.
• Standardised language codes: The SDMX Constructor uses standardised language codes; users can select from a list of pre-defined language codes.
