Translating a document with PageTiger

Scaling Your Content for Global Audiences

Once your document is built and published in its native language, PageTiger's Translations feature lets you create, manage, and track additional language versions, all from the same document, without rebuilding anything from scratch.

Creating a Master Document

Every translation starts from your Master Document: the original, native-language version of your PageTiger document. Once this is finished, reviewed, and published, you're ready to generate a translated copy.

• Navigate to your document and select Manage Version.
• Choose Translate to open the Translations panel.
• Select the language you want to translate into from the available list.

Because the translated version is generated directly from the Master Document, any structural changes, layout, or interactivity you've built stays the same. Only the content changes language.

Choosing a Translation Method

PageTiger gives you two ways to translate a document, so you can fit it around the workflow you already use:

• AI Translation: PageTiger's built-in AI Translation Suite translates your document automatically, in minutes, into any of the 30+ supported languages.
• XLIFF Import: If you use an existing translation team or third-party service, export your document as an XLIFF file, send it to your translator, then import the completed file back into PageTiger to generate the new version.

Both routes place translated text directly into the correct panels of your document, so nothing needs to be rebuilt or reformatted afterwards.

Building a Glossary

A Glossary File is a list of key terms, brand names, product names, or technical language, paired with your preferred translation for each one. Adding a glossary before you translate ensures these terms stay consistent every time, rather than being translated differently across pages or versions.

This is particularly useful for:

• Company and product names you don't want translated at all.
• Industry or compliance terminology that needs a specific, approved translation.
• Recurring phrases in policies, handbooks, or onboarding content.

Translating Document Settings

Translation isn't limited to visible text. The settings that shape how your document behaves also translate, so the whole experience feels native to your reader, including:

• Menus and navigation.
• Security rules, such as passwords or SSO.
• Styles and accessibility settings.
• Video subtitles.

Reviewing Translated Content

Before publishing, PageTiger lets you compare the translated version against the original side-by-side, so you can check accuracy, tone, and formatting in context rather than reading a flat document. You can:

• Edit text directly on the page where a translation needs adjusting.
• Flag lines for a colleague or reviewer to check later.
• Generate a temporary link to send to a multilingual colleague for review or approval, without needing to give them full PageTiger access.

Publishing and Distributing Translations

Once you're happy with a translated version, publish it the same way you would any other PageTiger document. Each language version gets its own secure link, so you can distribute the right version to the right audience.

Managing Versions and Analytics

Every translated version lives inside the same document, alongside the Master Document and any other language versions, so you can manage updates in one place rather than juggling separate files. PageTiger Analytics tracks each version individually, giving you visibility on:

• Visitors and page views per language.
• Engagement and interactivity.
• Which language versions are performing best.

Translating Your AI Avatar

If your document includes an AI Avatar, you can upload a translated script and select the matching language and accent for your presenter to speak in. Note that automated translation covers video subtitles automatically, but your Avatar's voice will stay in the original language until you update the script and language settings yourself.
