Once languages are enabled at the workspace level, a Community Administrator can tailor which of those languages are made available within a specific community. ***![Translation setting copy](https://help.ideascale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Translation%20setting%20copy.jpg?width=670&height=510&name=Translation%20setting%20copy.jpg)*** --- ### Role Permissions 1. **Workspace Administrator:** Specifies which languages the workspace supports, runs Batch Translation, and assigns Translation Moderators for the Workspace from Workspace Member Management. 2. **Community Administrator:** Tailors which of the workspace's supported languages are made available within a specific community, and assigns Translation Moderators for the Community. 3. **Translation Moderator:** Reviews and verifies machine-translated ideas and comments, and provides translations for admin-generated content such as custom field questions and community and campaign titles and descriptions, from the Translation Moderation dashboard.

Once specified, a member can select a preferred language from the idea submission form when submitting an idea or a comment. IdeaScale supports 40 languages, two of which are right-to-left languages, as shown below. ![Screenshot 2026-06-25 at 10.28.42 AM](https://help.ideascale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-25%20at%2010.28.42%20AM.png?width=670&height=275&name=Screenshot%202026-06-25%20at%2010.28.42%20AM.png) 1.

Hebrew --- ### Batch Translation The Batch Translation tool uses machine translation to translate existing content into each supported language. Batch Translation is run by selecting a supported language as the Target language, and this step is repeated for every supported language that needs to be translated. ![Screenshot 2026-08-06 at 2.01.46 PM](https://help.ideascale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-06%20at%202.01.46%20PM.png?width=670&height=238&name=Screenshot%202026-08-06%20at%202.01.46%20PM.png) Once Batch Translation is complete, an email confirmation is sent to the community owner. ![Screenshot 2026-08-06 at 1.59.16 PM-1](https://help.ideascale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-06%20at%201.59.16%20PM-1.png?width=670&height=378&name=Screenshot%202026-08-06%20at%201.59.16%20PM-1.png) See Exceptions below for reprocessing behavior on already-translated content. --- ### Translation Moderators An Administrator can add an additional layer of quality control over automated translations by assigning Translation Moderators. A Translation Moderator reviews and verifies machine-translated ideas and comments, and provides translations for admin-generated content such as custom field questions and community and campaign titles and descriptions, from the Translation Moderation dashboard. A Translation Moderator is assigned from Workspace Member Management by selecting the member and using the action button to assign the Translation Moderator role. ![Screen-Recording-2025-08-21-at-8 (1)](https://help.ideascale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen-Recording-2025-08-21-at-8%20(1).gif?width=670&height=290&name=Screen-Recording-2025-08-21-at-8%20(1).gif) ![role change email](https://help.ideascale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/role%20change%20email.webp?width=670&height=343&name=role%20change%20email.webp) See Exceptions below for assignment scope and self-assignment restrictions. --- ### Translation Moderation Dashboard The Translation Moderation section, used to translate content, appears under the Navigation Panel on the Workspace Homepage. ![translation moderator](https://help.ideascale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/translation%20moderator.png?width=670&height=330&name=translation%20moderator.png) **[Help Article on Workspace Review Translation](https://help.ideascale.com/workspace-review-translation-new-admin-panel?hsLang=en)** --- ### Exceptions 1. Batch Translation Reprocessing: Ideas and comments that have already been translated are not processed again during Batch Translation. 2. Translation Moderator Assignment Scope: Translation Moderator assignment is not inherited between Workspace and Community. Translation Moderators must be assigned separately at the Workspace level and at the Community level. 3. Translation Moderator Self-Assignment: An Administrator cannot assign themselves as a Translation Moderator. --- ### Frequently Asked Questions #### How many languages does IdeaScale support? IdeaScale supports 40 languages, including 2 right-to-left languages: Arabic and Hebrew. #### Does enabling a language at the workspace level make it available in every community? Not automatically. Enabling a language in Workspace Info makes it available for the workspace, after which a Community Administrator selects which of those languages to make available within a specific community. #### Does assigning a Translation Moderator at the Workspace level also assign that member as a Translation Moderator for a Community? No. Translation Moderator assignment is not inherited between Workspace and Community, so the role must be assigned separately at each level. #### Can a Translation Moderator moderate ideas, comments, or members? No. A Translation Moderator can only verify and input translations and does not have access to idea, comment, or member moderation. --- **Related Articles** - [Help Article for Workspace Review Translation](https://help.ideascale.com/workspace-review-translation-new-admin-panel?hsLang=en) -
