Publish each site in its local language with Content Translation
For an international workforce, the Content Translation component lets editors translate the text on any SharePoint page or news item directly in place. Open the page, click Edit, select the text, choose source and target language and click Preview, then Translate and replace. The original layout, style and formatting are preserved, so each office reads communications in its own language without rebuilding the page.
Powered by Azure, with no cost when employees read
Content Translation is powered by Azure Cognitive Services Translator. Azure resources are consumed only when an editor translates content, not when employees across your branches open the translated page or news, so end-user access adds no Azure consumption. This keeps a multilingual intranet serving many countries economical: you translate corporate communications once per language, and your entire international audience reads them at no additional translation cost.

Frequently asked questions
How do editors translate intranet content for different countries?
Open the SharePoint page in Edit mode, select the text, and click the Translate button. Choose the source and target language, click Preview to check the result, then Translate and replace to apply it, and Republish to publish. The translated content keeps the same layout and formatting as the original.
What content can be translated across our international intranet?
The Content Translation component can translate all the text on SharePoint pages and news items. This lets you localize corporate communications—pages, news and the text in web parts—so colleagues in different offices and countries read them in their own language while the page structure stays identical.
Does translating content for many languages increase Azure costs?
Azure resources are used only at the moment an editor translates content. When employees access the already-translated content, there is no additional Azure consumption. Because the component runs on Azure Cognitive Services Translator, you translate once per language and your whole international workforce can read it without further translation cost.
Is the original page layout preserved after translation?
Yes. The Content Translation component maintains the same layout and formatting for each piece of content. The system automatically creates the translated text keeping the same style and formatting as the original, so localized versions for each branch look consistent and require no manual redesign.
