Translate Strapi 5 entries into other locales with Supertext AI, straight from the Content Manager.
Open an entry, tick the languages in the Supertext translation panel, click Translate with Supertext — the plugin translates every localized text field (including rich text, components and dynamic zones) in one request per language and saves the result as a draft for review.
- Works with Strapi's built-in internationalization (i18n) and its role permissions per locale
- Keeps rich-text formatting and links; copies numbers, dates and media; rebuilds URL slugs
- A Supertext language per locale, chosen in a combo box under Settings → Supertext (obvious defaults preselected), and formal/informal tone where Supertext offers it
- Optional Translation review per locale: reviewers correct translations on the website, and their corrections come back with the next translation
- Automatic API key check; optional version information for Supertext support (no content, no key)
- Re-translate an existing locale on demand, with a clear warning first
- Export for translation as XLIFF 1.2 (for translation tools) or HTML, and import the translated file with a summary of what was imported
Besides translating with Supertext AI, you can export an entry as a file, have it translated elsewhere and import the result.
- Where: the Export for translation and Import translation sections of the Supertext panel in the Content Manager.
- Formats: XLIFF 1.2 for translation tools such as Trados, memoQ or Phrase (formatting travels as protected tags; several target languages in one file), or HTML (one language per file) for translators or Supertext's web app, which keeps the file's head and
data-st-idattributes, so the translated file imports as it is. - Import: the file says what it was exported from and for which language. The translations are written with the same rules as a Supertext AI translation, and a summary shows what was imported and what was skipped: source changed since the export (import those anyway with Also import texts whose source changed since the export), not translated, formatting changed, not in the file.
- Safe: files over 10 MB, files from another system and translations that add markup the source doesn't have are refused; uploaded files aren't stored.
