Translate Docs Phrases and Labels

All labels and informational text in your Docs site is available for translation. Each Docs site has its own translation settings which allows you to maintain a separate Docs site for each language you would like to publish in. 

You can also use this feature to simply change the wording on the site if you would prefer different phrases. For example, you can change Search the knowledge base to Search the Help Center if that works better for you.

Head over to Manage > Docs and click the Translate tab in the left menu. Enter the translation or text that you would like to show on your Docs site. Click Save at the bottom of the page when you're finished.

Offer your Docs content in different languages using built in tools or integrations.
