Option 2: Translating Brightidea using Browser tools
Each different Browser may have a translation feature that is available to use. We have summarized each option and provide details on how to apply the translations.
Translate webpages in Chrome:
Chrome is our preferred method for clients that are translating pages for their Users.
When you come across a page written in a different language, you can use Chrome to translate the page.
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- Go to a webpage written in another language.
- At the top, click Translate.
- Chrome will translate the webpage this one time.
If the prompt to Translate does not appear, right-clicking on the page and choosing the Translate option will also work.

Translate webpages in Firefox:
Firefox does not have a native translate feature similar to Chrome. However, Firefox does offer plug-ins that can be installed to translate pages.

Translate webpages in Internet Explorer:
Similar to Firefox, Internet Explorer (IE11) can download plug-ins that will translate pages for your Brightidea.
If your IE11 browser is using Google as a Search Engine, you can download the Google Tool Bar plug-in and then use the Google Translate feature to translate all your pages.

Option 3: Translating Brightidea using Labels
Mostly all languages can be translated via label edit mode in Initiative / Enterprise
-
Administrators can also leverage the label import and export as well.
- Information around importing / exporting labels can be found here.
- An Initiative can only be translated to one language at a time using labels (as there is only 1 set of labels for an Initiative).
Important Note: not everything within Brightidea is a label that can be edited/translated at this time. Items that are not highlighted in yellow when label edit mode is enabled usually can't be changed. This point is very important if you are attempting to do a complete translation to another language, it will not be possible to translate 100% all of the terms used in Brightidea.
