AI translation for Contao 5.7 and 6.0 by Supertext. Adds a Translate with Supertext action to the site structure: pick a page (or a whole website root) and the languages, and the bundle copies the pages with their articles and content elements into the other language roots and translates the texts. New pages are created unpublished for review; translating again updates them in place.
composer require supertext/contao-supertext-translationYou need a Supertext account (create one) and an API key (supertext.com → Integrations → API, requires the Admin role); set it as SUPERTEXT_API_KEY (see the Installation guide).
Export for translation (XLIFF 1.2 or HTML) and Import translation let you translate a page outside the API, with a translator, a translation tool or Supertext's web app.
Formatting, links and insert tags are kept; translated pages are linked for the language switcher (terminal42/contao-changelanguage); previous versions stay restorable.
Live demo: https://contao-production.up.railway.app/contao (credentials from the Supertext team)
Besides translating with Supertext AI, you can export a page as a file, have it translated elsewhere and import the result.
- Where: the page's Translate with Supertext screen (the translate icon in the site structure).
- Formats: XLIFF 1.2 for translation tools such as Trados, memoQ or Phrase (formatting travels as protected tags; several target languages in one file), or HTML (one language per file) for translators or Supertext's web app, which keeps the file's head and
data-st-idattributes, so the translated file imports as it is. - Import: the file says what it was exported from and for which language. The translations are written with the same rules as a Supertext AI translation, and a summary shows what was imported and what was skipped: source changed since the export (import those anyway with Also import texts whose source changed since the export), not translated, formatting changed, not in the file.
- Safe: files over 10 MB, files from another system and translations that add markup the source doesn't have are refused; uploaded files aren't stored.
