Learn about Translate AI for Documents, powered by LLM technology
The Translate AI feature in v4.11 introduces a powerful tool for engineers to overcome language barriers in project documentation and stakeholder communication. With support for translating entire documents and its specifications into multiple languages, Translate AI ensures that projects can seamlessly communicate across diverse teams and stakeholders worldwide.
Translate AI automates the process of translating documentation entity by entity, preserving the original structure and context while ensuring the content is accessible to a global audience. This feature will be available in Documents View, Compilation View, and Test Suite Documents.
Some key capabilities include:
- Provide accurate and structured translations across 17 supported languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and more.
- Maintain the integrity of hierarchical document structures during translation.
- Simplify the translation process for large and complex documentation through an efficient, entity-based workflow.
In the following sections, we’ll explore the Translate AI functionality step by step, showcasing how it enables global collaboration with engineers and stakeholders.
Initial Document
Begin by selecting the document you wish to translate. The original document will contain all entities, specifications, and hierarchical structures that will be preserved during the translation process.

Translate Phase
In the Translate phase:
- Translate AI processes the document entity by entity, translating each block of text to the selected language.
- A progress bar tracks the translation process, displaying the number of entities completed and ensuring visibility into the progress.
- The entity-based approach is designed to handle large and complex documents efficiently, preserving the models context window and avoiding potential processing limits for the entire document.

Once the translation is complete, the system provides confirmation and a navigation option to view the translated document.
Reviewing the Translated Document
After the translation is complete:
- The newly translated document is automatically displayed, showcasing the content in the selected language while maintaining its original structure, tables, hierarchy, and specifications.
- Users can review the document to ensure the translation meets the project’s content.
