How to use translations on Edvisor

Last updated: September 17, 2026

English is the default input language on Edvisor and all content is translated automatically into the viewer's chosen language. The Translations card on a product edit page or a campus About tab lets you view the automatic translation per language, and the Override translations toggle lets you replace it with your own wording — useful for correcting a translation or writing market-specific content.

English is the default language for input on Edvisor. Everything you write — campus information and products such as programs, accommodation and other products — is automatically translated into the language the viewer has chosen.

You only need to do something when you want to change what the automatic translation produced.

How it works

  • You enter your content in English.
  • Edvisor translates it automatically.
  • Agencies and their students see that content in whichever language their account is set to.
  • Where the automatic wording isn't right, you can replace it with your own.

Where to find Manage Translations

The Translations card sits in the right-hand column in two places:

  • On a product. Open the product's edit page — a program, accommodation or other product — and select Manage on the Translations card.
  • On a campus. Open the campus profile's About tab and select Manage on the Translations card.

View a translation

  1. Select Manage on the Translations card.
  2. Choose a language under Select language to view/edit.
  3. The Current translations section shows the automatic translation for that language.

Override a translation

Override translations is turned off by default. While it is off you are only viewing the automatic translation and the fields cannot be edited.

  1. Select the language you want to change.
  2. Turn on Override translations. The fields become editable.
  3. Edit the fields you want to change.
  4. Select Save.

What you can translate

The fields offered depend on the product and on what you have already filled in. For a program they include the name, the program description and the timetable.

A field with no content yet is not available for translation — an empty timetable, for example, asks you to set one before adding translations.

Write for the market, not just the language

Overriding isn't only for correcting wording. You can write different content per language to highlight what matters most in each market:

  • Spanish (Latin America). Emphasize university pathways and academic transitions.
  • French. Emphasize cultural initiatives.
  • Japanese. Emphasize business etiquette training.
