Release date: 27 August 2026
Release notes
This release introduces two new components for managing knowledge article translations directly from the article record page: Submit Translations and View Translations.
Submit Translations (Unbabel Translations)
- Submit Translations provides an interface to request translations directly, without using the Salesforce queue system.
-
Key features:
- Language selection
- Brand selection
- Requests submitted directly to the Unbabel backend
- Immediate success/failure feedback via a toast message
- Per-language display of translation status
- Retry button for languages whose request or article update failed
- Setup: Submit Translations is exposed through an object action of type Lightning Component, associated with the Lightning Component ExposeSubmitTranslationsCmp and a height of 400px. This action must be configured by the user and added to the Page Layout in the Object Manager – the required steps have been added to the Installation Guide (Post-Installation - Configure Unbabel Components).
View Translations
- View Translations provides an interface to view and navigate between an article’s existing translations.
-
Key features:
- Per-article display of language, publication status, and translation
- Article selection and navigation
- Retry button when the selected article has a failed request or update
- Setup: The custom component viewTranslationsComponent must be added to the article record page using the Lightning App Builder.
Expected Behaviour and Constraints
- These components are available only on the article record page and operate at the individual article level.
- Translations can only be requested from the primary-language article.
- Translations are always based on the most recent version of the primary-language article.
- Translation status tags reflect the status of the most recent translation request with the relevant article ID.
- If no translation request is found, the translation status tag defaults to ‘Not Translated’.
- Translation status tags include a hover tooltip showing translation request ID, status, and error log (if any).
- A retry button is enabled in Submit Translations and View Translations when the corresponding translation request status is ‘Request Error’.
- On retry: if the previous translation was received, the system attempts to fetch it and update the article. Otherwise, it sends a new request to the backend using the same brand selection.
- Translations can only be requested for languages with no ongoing translation request. If needed, this constraint can be bypassed by deleting the current draft for that language.
- A notification is sent to the article owner when a translation is successfully delivered or when the article update fails.
