Translations

Your website in the languages your residents speak

Turn on the languages your community needs. Sentra CMS machine-translates pages, news, events, forms, alerts and menus to start; your reviewers approve them, and approved translations are locked.

In practice

What it looks like on a normal day

  • When

    Fulton adds Vietnamese for a growing neighborhood

    Then

    Every page gets a machine draft marked ‘Machine’; a reviewer approves the important ones first.

  • When

    The English Utilities page changes

    Then

    The approved Spanish version is flagged as outdated, so a reviewer updates it — it’s never silently overwritten.

  • When

    Your city says “alderman,” not “council member”

    Then

    Add it to the glossary and every translation uses your term.

Review

Machine translation with human review

Pick rows or a whole type — pages, news, events, forms, alerts, facts, menus — and translate what’s missing. Reviewers see the English beside each translation and approve it.

  • 44 languages, including right-to-left scripts
  • Glossary and translation memory
  • Real pages per language (/es/, /vi/) that search engines index

Questions

Why not a Google Translate widget?

Widget translations aren’t reviewed, aren’t indexed by search engines and often break page layouts. Sentra CMS publishes real, reviewed pages in each language.

Which languages?

44 in all, including English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Tagalog, Korean, Arabic, Hmong, Somali, Haitian Creole and Marshallese.
