Working with Translations in Optimizely
Ensuring that content is accessible and comprehensible in multiple languages is essential for any global business. Optimizely, combined with Language Manager and Epicweb AI-Assistant, provides strong translation capabilities, making the process smooth and efficient. The integration of Epicweb AI-Assistant enhances these capabilities, offering a high degree of configurability for customized translation experiences. This post examines the key features and implementations that facilitate straightforward and effective translation work in Optimizely.
Key Features of the Epicweb AI-Assistant's Translation Capabilities
The Epicweb AI-Assistant's translation features are designed to cater to various needs, whether you're dealing with single fields or entire pages. Here are some of the standout features:
1. Translate One Field at a Time: This feature provides precision, allowing you to focus on translating specific fields without affecting other content. It’s particularly useful when only parts of a page need to be updated or when testing translations on specific sections.
2. Translate All Fields on a Page or Block Type with the LanguageManager Plugin: For a more comprehensive approach, the LanguageManager plugin allows you to translate all fields on a page or block type in one go. This feature is ideal for large-scale content updates where consistency across all fields is essential.
3. Connect Any AI Vendor: One of the most significant advancements in our AI Assistant for Optimizely is the ability to connect any AI vendor or translation services to all fields within the CMS and Commerce. This flexibility allows businesses to choose the AI services that best meet their needs, ensuring that their translation processes are as efficient and accurate as possible.

How Do Translations Work?
The AI-Assistant’s translation capabilities are powered by various AI vendors and LLMs, including OpenAI, which supports over 86+ languages. This extensive language support ensures that businesses can reach a global audience with translations that are not only accessible but also highly accurate. OpenAI's translation service, among others, is recognized for delivering some of the most precise and high-quality translations available worldwide.
One of the key advantages of using this service is the ability to provide specific terms or translation guidelines. These guidelines allow businesses to tailor the translation process according to their specific needs, ensuring that industry-specific terminology, brand language, and regional nuances are accurately captured. This level of customization helps maintain consistency and relevance across all translated content.
New Features for Enhanced Customization
We've introduced several new features in our AI Assistant for Optimizely, significantly enhancing the customization options available to users. A highlight of these updates is the ability to customize AI instructions for each translation language. This includes the option to use different AI models for different languages, providing unparalleled flexibility in managing multilingual content.
This feature allows customers to:
- Include Specific Translation Guidelines: Tailor the translation process to reflect the unique requirements of each language, ensuring that critical terms and brand-specific language are accurately translated.
- Use Specially Trained Models for Each Language: For businesses that operate in highly specialized fields or regions, the ability to use different AI models for different languages ensures that translations are not only accurate but also contextually appropriate.
- Customize AI Instructions Per Language: This ensures that each language's unique characteristics are considered, making the translation process more nuanced and precise.
Google Translation Hub Integration
With a custom integration of Google Translation Hub, businesses can leverage the power of Cloud Translation to dynamically translate content across multiple languages.
Moreover, the support for Glossary and translation memory allows businesses to maintain consistency in terminology and improve translation accuracy over time. This means that specific terms related to a brand or product can be translated uniformly across all content, enhancing brand identity and customer experience.
By connecting Google Translation Hub to the AI Assistant for Optimizely, businesses can streamline their translation workflows, reduce manual effort, and ultimately provide a better experience for their multilingual customers.
Implementing IAssistantInstructionsResolver
The implementation of the IAssistantInstructionsResolver interface is central to customizing translation instructions across different languages. This interface is crucial for businesses that require flexibility in how translations are handled, providing the ability to implement global 'Assistant Instructions' while also allowing for variations between languages if necessary.
Here’s a look at the interface:
public interface IAssistantInstructionsResolver
{
string GetInstructions(CultureInfo language);
string GetInstructionsForTranslations(CultureInfo toLanguage, CultureInfo? fromLanguage = null);
}
This interface allows for the customization of instructions that guide the translation process, ensuring that the AI Assistant follows specific rules and guidelines tailored to each language's needs.
Introducing IAssistantModelResolver
In addition to the IAssistantInstructionsResolver, we have also introduced the IAssistantModelResolver interface. This interface is designed to offer even greater flexibility in managing translations by allowing the selection of different AI models based on language requirements.
Here’s the interface:
public interface IAssistantModelResolver
{
string GetModelForTranslations(CultureInfo toLanguage, CultureInfo? fromLanguage = null);
}
The IAssistantModelResolver interface enables businesses to:
- Select AI Models Based on Language: This is particularly useful for organizations that operate across diverse linguistic regions and require different AI models to handle the nuances of each language effectively.
- Enhance Translation Accuracy: By selecting the most appropriate AI model for each language, businesses can ensure that translations are not only accurate but also contextually relevant.
- Tailor the AI Model to Specific Needs: Whether it’s a general-purpose model or a specially trained one for a particular industry or locale, this interface provides the flexibility needed to meet diverse translation requirements.
Leveraging the "GetInstructionsForTranslations" and "GetModelForTranslations" APIs
When working with translations in Optimizely, the GetInstructionsForTranslations and GetModelForTranslations APIs are essential tools. These APIs allow for a high degree of customization in the translation process:
- GetInstructionsForTranslations: This API allows you to provide translation instructions tailored by language, ensuring that translations are conducted according to specific guidelines.
- GetModelForTranslations: This API enables the selection of the most suitable AI model for each language, enhancing the translation's accuracy and contextual relevance.
These APIs, when used in tandem, offer a comprehensive solution for managing translations across multiple languages with precision and consistency.
