# Automatic Translation

When creating a project, you select its primary language. However, you can automatically translate it from the Project [](https://cogneed.gitbook.io/cogneed-centre-daide/cogneed-help-center/dashboard/content-management/project/home "mention") section by adding additional languages.

## Translate a project

Click the "**Add translation**" button, select the destination language, and click the "**Confirm**" button.

By default, the following languages ​​can be used: English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and French. If you would like to translate your project into another language, you can do so by contacting your dedicated CogNeed CSM to enable this option.

{% hint style="info" %}
Automated translation may take a few minutes, remember to refresh the Dashboard regularly once the translation has started.
{% endhint %}

## Navigation

Once the language has been added, the left menu displays a new drop-down list in the "Active Project" section, which allows you to view the content in your target languages.

{% hint style="info" %}
Content is not editable in the target languages, only in the original language. You can then regenerate the translation once the original project has been modified.
{% endhint %}

## Translation management

{% hint style="warning" %}
To add instructions, please reach out to your CSM.
{% endhint %}

Once your translation is available, you can go to the home page of this new project at any time and:

* Regenerate a translation if your original project has changed;
* Write custom instructions for your next translation into this language.

## Reports

By default, Reports treat translated projects as a single project. This allows managers to view their teams' performance in their native language, in a consolidated manner.

If you want to view performance by language, divide users into teams and filter accordingly on the Reports page (see [teams](https://cogneed.gitbook.io/cogneed-centre-daide/cogneed-help-center/dashboard/enterprise-settings/teams "mention")).
