How do you manage documentation in several languages?

[Identity]

Hello.

More of a documentation structure/organization question.

What should be the best way to manage documentation in several languages?

I have a few modules, bundled in a few topics, and I would like to provide the same document in several languages. Do I simple create multi-language versions of the same modules and create different topics?

Thanks for any insight. Regards.

• Search returns results in language searched for, not all languages
• Per language table of contents, and corresponding documents - per space 
• Rapid translations in a secure environment (enterprise-grade)
• Real-time translation status and progress reports
• In-Confluence "post-editing" panel to correct translations following run (i.e., tune the translation engine)
• Post-edits saved back to Translation memory, allowing for accuracy growth
• Version support between iterations of the documentation
• Translated vocabulary tailored to your context
• 100+ languages supported
• in-app Machine Translator (MT) engine support, including: 
  • AppTek Omnifluent
  • Asia Online
  • Google Translate, Enterprise version
  • Language Weaver
  • Microsoft Translator, Enterprise edition
  • Microsoft Translator Hub (for Enterprise)
  • SDL BeGlobal
  • And any other MT engine that has an API

Hi Davin, thank you for this answer, any idea of the release date of the cloud version ?

All the best,

I do not work for either company so I do not have any idea if they are planning a cloud version of their add-ons.
