Adding Manuals for Different Languages

What you will need:

  • Product Manual in a foreign language

For InSkill to handle multiple languages, the software must be told which languages are going to be translated. Translating is an expensive and lengthy process, thus selecting the languages needed for translation saves energy and helps our system run more smoothly. Once languages are selected and the default manual is uploaded, manuals in other languages can be uploaded to the portal under their respective language file. Please remember that you must first upload the default language manual first as the foreign language document will be saved under the same resource file.


Please go through the following directions to learn how to upload manuals in different languages.

  1. To incorporate manuals in different languages, you must first inform InSkill of the languages you will include. To do this go to account settings and click edit.
  1. Once in editing mode, scroll down to languages and select the languages that you want translated. In this example, the languages chosen to automatically translate are English (default), French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
  1. Go to the default version of the document you want to upload. (Remember, manuals in different languages must be saved under the same resource file)

  1. Select the drop-down arrow to see all of the languages you have set your InSkill profile to handle.
  1. Select the language of the manual you want to upload. (In this example, the foreign manual is in Italian therefore Italian is selected)
  1. You are now in the foreign version of the resource you initially selected. This is now the location in which the foreign manual can be uploaded. (Please note that the URL references the English document. This is apparent as it says "(Using the English Language)"). To upload the foreign document you must remove the English file by erasing the file by selecting the x icon.
  1. Your portal is now ready to include the foreign document. To do this either browse through your files or drag the file over the allotted section.
  1. Your foreign language manual is now uploaded. Please select save to finalize its upload
  1. At this point you have incorporated the same manual in two different languages. Again, please note that both of these versions are saved under the same resource. If you want to add more language versions you must complete it under the same resource as we just did. If this process is not followed, InSkill will not be able to translate for use in InSkill GPT.
