What is AI translation?

AI translation lets you instantly translate your brand guidelines into any enabled language, fast, scalable, and on-brand. It helps global teams access and understand your brand in their own language while saving you time and effort.

AI translation is available in Beta and requires admin activation before use.


How to enable AI translation on your account

Authorize the use of AI translation

  • Go to your Account settings.

  • Toggle AI translation on.

  • Accept the Beta terms when prompted (only account admins have access to account settings)

Enable AI translation on individual guidelines

Once the feature is authorized for the account:

  • Go to your Access Management dashboard (within Account settings).

  • Select which guidelines you want AI translation to be available on.


How to translate a guideline page

  1. Open the guideline page you want to translate in edit mode.

  2. Choose your secondary language from the language selector.

    • In Classic/Legacy theme: top right

    • In Muse theme: bottom left

  3. In the action toolbar, select AI translation.

  4. (Optional) Add a custom prompt to refine the translation.

    • Example: “Translate everything, but leave the word ‘Brand Hub’ in English.”

  5. Click Translate in the flyout.

  6. Review the translated content.

    • Publishing happens automatically once the page is out of draft mode.


Notes and best practices

  • Formatting preserved: AI translation keeps your existing structure and styling intact.

  • Custom prompts: Use them to refine results and keep translations consistent.

  • Human review required: Always review translations for nuance, tone, and cultural accuracy before sharing externally.


Disabling AI translation

  • For a specific guideline: Go to the Access Management dashboard and toggle the feature off for that guideline.

  • For the entire account: Go to Account settings and toggle off AI translation.
