the workflow

Connect your content. Review every language.

Connect once, choose your content and languages, then translate and review in the same project. The steps below show how it works in your tool.

Connect Zendesk Guide
Choose Zendesk Guide in the project’s CMS settings. Add your subdomain, an agent email and a Zendesk API token.
connect
Choose the content and locale mapping
Select the types and fields you want to localize. The connector reads Guide articles, sections and categories. Map the source and target locales to your project.
map
Sync and review the translations
Start Sync from CMS to bring the selected source into your project. Translate and review the resulting keys alongside the rest of your project content.
review
Publish to Zendesk Guide
Use Publish to CMS to send the translated values to the mapped target locales. Check the publish result in the project’s CMS settings.
deliver

Publish translated values back to the target locales you map in Zendesk Guide.

what moves

What you can translate and deliver.

Guide articles plus the sections and categories around them, so the navigation gets translated and not just the pages. Each target locale is its own translation record, created or updated on its own, never the source translation.

What you can translate and deliver.
Surface	What to expect
Source and scope	Guide articles, sections and categories
Translated output	Publish translated values back to the target locales you map in Zendesk Guide.
Keep in mind	Only the content types and fields you select are synced. Source content stays in its source locale.

get connected

A few steps to your first connection.

Follow your tool’s setup below: add the connection, choose what to sync, and try it with a small set of content. Your team can keep working in the tools they already use.

What you need

your subdomain, an agent email and a Zendesk API token.

A Transglot project with its source and target locales configured.
Save credentials in the connection settings so your team can work without copying secrets between files.
Hosted API access requires a paid Transglot plan. AI translation uses your workspace’s word allowance.

Create your project

Create a Transglot project with the source and target locales you need.
Open the project’s CMS settings and choose Zendesk Guide.
Provide your subdomain, an agent email and a Zendesk API token.
Save the connection, select the supported content, map locales, then run Sync from CMS.
