If your company or team works in multiple languages, Whale’s auto-translate feature makes it easy to keep everyone on the same page. You can instantly translate any standard Card created in the normal editor into English, French, German, Portuguese or Spanish—no matter what the original source language is.
This is ideal for multilingual teams where everyone prefers to write in their native language, but the official company language is different. For example, a team member could draft a process in Dutch within a standard Card created in the normal editor, and Whale can instantly translate it into English for broader understanding. While Whale supports translation for standard Cards, it is important to note that Guides and content created using the new Guides workflow currently do not support the auto-translate feature. If you navigate to such content, the translate option will appear greyed out.
🌍 Auto-Translate a Standard Card
Step 1: Open the Card
Go to the Card you want to translate.
Step 2: Select Auto-Translate
Click Auto-Translate on the right hand side in the card menu and choose your preferred language:
English
French
German
Spanish
✅ Example: Your support team writes “Retourproces” in Dutch. With auto-translate, you can quickly create an English version for the global operations team. However, translation functionality for Guides is part of a new workflow that has not yet been fully released, and reverting to older workflows to regain this functionality is not supported. Whale is actively working on bringing auto-translate to Guides in future updates.
