Translating with Salesforce Knowledge

This article is for Account Owners and Project Managers.

In Smartling, translation works through jobs, with which you can group and prioritize content for translation, as well as monitor progress.

Do not use the Submit for Translation action within Salesforce Knowledge. Once your SFKB instance is connected to Smartling, all articles can be found in your Smartling project, within the Salesforce Knowledge tab.
