Managing Image Localization for Zendesk Guide Articles

Copy link

The Zendesk Guide app allows for seamless synchronization of articles and their associated image assets between Zendesk Guide and Crowdin, ensuring a consistent and localized user experience across all languages. Below is a guide on how to manage image localization for Zendesk Guide articles using the Crowdin Zendesk app.

Workflow for Image Localization

Copy link

Prior Settings:

  • Before syncing your Zendesk Guide articles to Crowdin, select Translate image assets in the Zendesk Guide app Settings within Crowdin.

  • Open your Crowdin project settings and select Allow Offline Translation to allow your translators to download source files to their devices for offline translation.

Syncing Content from Zendesk Guide to Crowdin:

  • Upon syncing, your Zendesk Guide articles and their embedded images are uploaded to your Crowdin project. Images found in your articles are placed in separate folders within Crowdin, organized in a way that makes them easily identifiable and accessible to translators.

Adding additional context:

  • Add necessary details and instructions for your translators using Context.

Translating Image Assets:

  • Since the image translation process involves external tools, translators download the images from Crowdin, use their preferred graphic editing tools to localize the content within the images, and then upload the localized versions back to Crowdin.

Syncing Translations from Crowdin to Zendesk Guide:

  • Once the image assets are localized and uploaded to Crowdin, you can push the translations back to Zendesk Guide. The Zendesk Guide app intelligently replaces the original images in your Zendesk Guide articles with localized versions, based on the target language of each article.

  • This automatic replacement ensures that each article in your Zendesk Guide displays the appropriate images for the viewer's selected language.
