Using Translations

Learn how to view translated Project Tasks, Comments, and Documents in CompanyCam.

Translations let you and your team read Project Tasks, Comments, and Documents in your preferred language (English or Spanish). Tasks and Comments auto-translate based on each User's default language settings, and shared Documents let anyone viewing the link choose English or Spanish.

FAQs

What can be translated in CompanyCam?

Translations are available for Photo Comments, Project Conversations, and Project Tasks. Comments left in any language are auto-translated into either English or Spanish, depending on the User's default language settings.

Shared Document Weblinks can also be translated. These links will not auto-translate based on your browser's language settings. Rather, there will be a Language options toggle to switch between languages.

Is there a limit to Document Translations?

Yes, Users can generate up to 5 Document Translations within 5 minutes. Once the limit is reached, you'll see an error message and be asked to refresh your Document.
