Collaborative translation on Lattuce
How authors and translators work together on multilingual papers in Lattuce — Translate mode in Writer and the translation editor.
Lattuce helps households publish in more than one language. Authors write in Writer. Translators work in a dedicated translation editor (Weblate). The two stay linked through Translate mode on each paper.
There is no separate “translator app” inside Writer — translators use the editor; authors sync sections from Writer.
For translators
- Sign in with the account your project lead created.
- Open the assigned project and translate each segment.
- Use suggestions from translation memory or AI when they help — you always control the final text.
Day-to-day translation does not require opening Writer.
For authors
- Create or open a paper in Writer.
- In Account settings, link your personal translation account (not a shared server password).
- Open Translate mode on the paper.
- Sync segments with the translation project; export to Word when sections are approved.
You can also upload a Word file to start a translation project from an existing draft.
How it fits your workflow
| Role | Tool | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Author | Writer + Translate mode | Bilingual sections with citations |
| Translator | Translation editor | Approved target-language strings |
| Everyone | Library + export | Word manuscript with references |
English ↔ Malay is the most documented pair in our examples, but the same flow works for other language pairs your household configures.
