Role required: admin, knowledge_admin, or knowledge

## About this task

Note:  
This procedure has been superseded by the Localization Framework. For more information see [Localization Framework support for Knowledge Base](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/auCd7wzmMo7iEQnQKbvTgg "Localization Framework enables the translation of Knowledge Base (KB) articles when a KB article is requested for translation into a language and when a localization requested item (LRITM) is created."). This information is provided for legacy context.
For information about how administrators configure the translation API, see [DynamicTranslation API](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/q~7lXc5lQnTIR5FCvpI9fg "You can use the DynamicTranslation API to translate text in real time into multiple languages using translation service providers.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllKnowledgeTranslation ManagementMy Assigned Tasks.
2. In the Knowledge Translation Tasks page, select one of the listed translation tasks assigned to you.
3. Select Translate.  
   The Translate from and Translate to panes are side-by-side for easy comparison, as shown in the following figure.
4. Select Machine translate to automatically translate to the targeted languages.
5. Select Create draft article to create a draft version of the translated article.  
   If a translated article is already present for that language, a new draft version overwrites the existing translated content.
6. Select Publish.  
   Note:  
   By default, the translated version is always created as v1.0 so that the parent version remain same for all the translated versions. For more information, see [Translated KB articles always show Parent version 1.0 regardless of version used for translation](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1116153).
