Autotranslate texts in bulk with AI

The Translation functionality of EDC is designed to support multilingual studies that require data collection and review in different languages based on locations, participating audience, and other factors.

For preset data, such as CRF items, help texts, validation messages, and so on, the translations are configured in SD. However, the input data can be translated using AI technology daily if you enable the AI autotranslation. If some of the data entries have not yet been translated as per the scheduled AI run, you can translate them manually with AI at any time.

Important

This functionality is unavailable if the AI autotranslation is disabled for your study.

To autotranslate texts in bulk with AI
  1. In the EDC application header, select the STUDY INFO tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select Translation > Translation Review.

Once confirmed, the system runs autotranslation. This operation can take some time depending on the amount of untranslated texts. Upon finishing, all the texts are autotranslated and the users in charge can review the translations to validate them.
