All users can utilize machine translation. However, only corporate or enterprise-level platforms can access this feature.
​

Machine translation is available in two modes:
​

Each user can define a preferred article language. This setting determines the order in which a language is selected when a user accesses an article.
​

If the article is available in the language chosen by the user, it will be displayed directly in that language. Otherwise, the platform will display the default language.
​

With on-the-fly machine translation, when an article is not available in the user's preferred language, a banner will appear suggesting a translation.
​

Example: A user has defined French as her preferred language, while the platform's default language is English. If the user accesses an article that is only available in English and Spanish, the platform will display the article in English (the default language) but will offer to translate it into French (the user's preferred language).
​

Example of a banner offering the user the option to translate the article into French
​

The second mode is contributor assistance, allowing contributors to translate any article starting from a machine translation.
