What multi-language covers, what it doesn't, and how to tell whether your organisation has it.

How multi-language experiences work

Set the languages when you create an experience, change them later in Settings, or set defaults for your whole organisation.

Choosing the languages for an experience

Translate every field in an experience side by side, track what's still missing, and hand work to an external translator with XLIFF.

Working in the Translation tab

Machine-translate an experience, keep hand-written wording safe, and stay on top of translations that fall out of date.

Auto-translating your content

Add the names and jargon that should always come out exactly as written, in translations and in subtitles.

Keeping key terms consistent with safe words

Add a separate video, image or document for each language, and check which languages still fall back to the English file.

Using media in other languages

Translate the subject lines and bodies of your email sequence, and know which language each participant receives.

Sending post-experience emails in other languages

Generate an AI-dubbed audio track for a video, and understand what it costs before you start.

Dubbing audio into other languages

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable

I’ve got this page open. Ask me anything about it and I’ll answer from the docs.
