How to edit collection translations

Edit a collection's translated name and description directly in the collection editor. This is useful when you want to customize how a collection appears in a specific language without going to the global translations dashboard.

The Translations section only appears when your help center has multiple languages enabled and the collection already has translation data.

Edit a collection translation

1

Open the collection editor

Click on any collection and select Edit collection.

2

Expand the Translations section

If the collection has translations, a Translations section appears below the description field.

3

Select a language

Click a language row to expand it.

4

Edit the translation

Edit the Translated name and Translated description.

5

Save your changes

Click Save translation. Each language saves independently.

The translation mode label shows whether the translation is Manual (edited by you) or Automatic (AI-generated).

Switch back to automatic translation

If you manually edited a translation and want to restore AI translation, click Switch to automatic in the expanded language row. This marks the translation for retranslation and overwrites your manual edits.

The Switch to automatic option only appears for translations you have manually edited.

You can also manage all translations from Help Center > Translate. See How to add a translation for more on the translations dashboard.
