Introduction

AutoRFP.ai's multilingual and translation features allow you to handle questionnaires in languages other than your native tongue. Whether you're a Spanish speaker targeting US companies or an English speaker collaborating with French businesses, our tool can convert documents in real time to speed up the translation process.

Currently, AutoRFP.ai supports 41 languages, including major global languages and several regional ones including but not limited to:

  • 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.

Compare View

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


  1. Double-check your working and export language settings before creating a project.

  2. Use the Compare View to ensure accurate translations.

  3. Re-translate out of date translations.

  4. Consider having a native speaker review the final translated output for critical projects.
