English (GB and US)
Chinese
Spanish
French
German
Arabic
Russian
Japanese
Hindi
For a complete list of all 41 supported languages, please refer to our language support article.
Setting Up Multilingual Projects
Confirm Your Default Working Language
Before starting, ensure your organization's default working language is set correctly.
This helps AutoRFP.ai identify when a questionnaire requires translation. Go to Organization Settings > Details.
Creating a Translated Project
Upload Your Document
Create a project, bringing in your file(s) to make selections.
Review Language Detection
On the "Set Response Mode" page, locate the Languages section at the bottom.
Work In: The language you prefer to work in. This defaults to your organization's working language but can be changed on any individual project.
Export To: The language for your final answers, typically matching the questionnaire's language.
Create the Project
Click "Create Project" to initiate the project. AutoRFP.ai will translate all questions into your working language and begin generating responses accordingly.
Note: You cannot update or add working languages in a live project.
Working on Multilingual Projects
The project editor functions similarly to monolingual projects, with the added ability to toggle between languages to preview and audit response translation.
Multilingual Views
Multilingual projects will have a dropdown in the task bar to toggle different views. Previews for your responses will only be available once you click "submit" on your responses in the working language.
Working Language View: Use this view for answering questions in your preferred language.
Export Language View: Primarily used by translators to review the final output.
Compare View: Ideal for translators to review AutoRFP.ai's translations side-by-side with the original text.

Submission
When you're satisfied with your answers, click "Submit". This action translates your responses into the export language, preparing them for export or translator review.
Export
Exporting generates all answers in the chosen export language. Remember:
Only submitted (and thus translated) answers will be exported.
Always submit your answers before exporting to ensure proper translation.
Best Practices
Double-check your working and export language settings before creating a project.
Use the Compare View to ensure accurate translations.
Re-translate out of date translations.
Consider having a native speaker review the final translated output for critical projects.
