AI-Powered Translations

Modified on Tue, 5 Nov at 12:31 PM

With Newired 24.3, we’ve introduced AI-Powered Translations to make it easier and faster to localize content directly within the Newired Portal. This feature generates AI-driven translations, providing more streamlined support for multilingual content.

How AI-Powered Translations Work

When AI-powered translations are enabled in a Site's Advanced Settings, a new section appears in the Translation page where you can initiate automatic translations. The translation process typically takes a few minutes, depending on the amount of text in your content. During this time, a spinner animation will appear on the "Translate with AI" button to indicate that translation is in progress.

Configuration Requirements

To use AI-powered translations, ensure that your Newired Server is connected to the Newired AI Service.

Here’s how to set up the connection:

The following properties in the server configuration (newired.properties file) must be set:

Location	Property Name	Description	Since
Server	newired.ai.service.url	URL of the Newired AI Service.	24.2.0
	newired.ai.service.apiKey	API key for Newired AI Service.	24.2.0
	newired.ai.service.openai.apiKey (Optional)	Custom OpenAI API key (optional override).	24.2.0
	newired.ai.service.tenant (Optional)	Overrides tenant name if different from server domain.	24.2.0

Enabling AI Features

To use AI-powered translations and other AI features, they must be enabled in Advanced Settings at the Site level:

Level	Property Name	Description	Since
Site	ai.assistant.enabled	Enables AI Assistant functionality in the Overlay UI.	24.2.0
	ai.assistant.customKnowledge.enabled	Activates use of Custom Knowledge in AI responses.	24.3.0
	ai.translation.enabled	Enables AI-powered content translations within the Portal.	24.3.0

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues with the AI-powered translations, here are common error messages and solutions:

AI Assistant Initialization Failed
This message means the AI Service is unavailable or misconfigured.

Solution: Check the configuration in the newired.properties file and verify that the AI Service is accessible.

AI Assistant is Not Ready
This message appears if the AI Service is connected but no content has been processed.

Solution: Try re-publishing content in the Portal to make it available for translation.

By configuring and enabling AI-powered translations, you can make multilingual content more accessible and improve the user experience on your portal. For further assistance, please contact the Newired support team.
