To translate Content Management HTML/Text content, you must translate the same content version into the various languages you want to display. This means that you must save the content version as a draft, and translate it for each appropriate language. Check in or submit the content version after it is translated for all appropriate languages.

If content is being translated into one or more foreign languages, perform the language translations on the content after the content is checked out. When all translations are completed, you can check content in.

Note: Content comments are not translated. You will see the comments from the language that you entered last.
