Hi @harry24 

I think you're aiming for an ideal situation where everything is automated, but that's not entirely possible. Some steps can be manual while others can be automated. I recommend starting with this approach and, over time, exploring opportunities to automate further."

This version keeps your intent but makes the message flow more naturally.

Article shared by Ankur is worth using.

Hi @harry24 ,

Automatic Translation, as of today it's not possible without a manual intervention, @Dr Atul G- LNG  has already gave you the link which has steps to Translate as per the best practice.

For Reference , these are the steps :

Before you begin

• Add a custom Localization Framework setting to enable bulk translations.
• Request bulk translations for multiple knowledge articles.

Role required: Localization fulfiller to fulfill translation request

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Knowledge > Knowledge Translations > My translation request.
2. On the Localization Request Items page, select the gear icon ( ) to add the Localization task to your task list.
3. Open any localization task.
4. On the Localization Task page, select Translate in the form header.
   A two-column comparison UI page displays a Source Language column on the left and Target Language column on the right. You can set the display as follows:

   • Select Expand all to expand all the groups on the comparison UI.
   • Select Collapse all to collapse all the groups on the comparison UI.
   • Select Show groups with missing translations to see only the groups that have missing translations when the content is translated.
5. In the comparison UI page, copy the content from Source Language column and paste it in Target Language column.
6. Repeat the copy and paste process for each listed article.
7. Select Publish Translation.
8. In the Publish Translations dialog box, select Publish Translations.

The selected articles are translated into the selected languages and marked as version 0.01. The articles can be accessed from the Knowledge [kb_knowledge] table.
