For painting companies with multilingual crews, this means less friction on the job and no more relying on manual translation.

{% hint style="info" %} This feature is currently in active development. You may encounter bugs, missing functionality, or things that don't work quite as expected. We're actively making improvements and would love your feedback if you run into anything! Feel free to reach out to us at {% endhint %} *** ## How to Access a Translated Work Order There are two ways to access a translated work order. **From the Estimate or Invoice** 1. Open the estimate or invoice 2. Open the work order link 3. Select the language you would like to view or download 4. Click **Download** to download the work order in the language you are currently viewing
**From the Deal Page** 1. Open the work order on a deal 2. Select the language you want to view or download 3. Click **Download** to download the work order in the language you are currently viewing
*** ## How to Send a Translated Work Order You can send a translated work order directly to your crew or painters: 1. Open the estimate or invoice and go to the **Work** **Order** page 2. Click the **Send** button 3. Complete the required fields 4. Select **French** or **Spanish** in the **Work Order Language** dropdown 5. Review the email, then click **Send Work Order**
*** ## What gets translated? Translation is applied when you choose to view, download, or send. A few things to keep in mind: * All content on the work order is translated when you view, download, or send it in another language, including area names, surface details, and line items * Translation quality may vary for custom content, product names, or crew notes * If something doesn't look right, please let us know — your feedback directly shapes how we improve this feature *** ## FAQ
Why only Spanish and French? Spanish and French are the two most commonly requested languages from our user base, so we started there. We're open to expanding language support in the future based on feedback — if there's another language your team needs, let us know at
Do my painters need to do anything differently to see the translated version? No setup is needed. To share a work order in Spanish or French, open it from an estimate or invoice, click **Send**, and choose the language in the **Work Order Language** dropdown. You can also use the language options on the deal page to view or download it in the language you need.
Will the translated work order look the same as the original? Yes. The layout stays the same. The translated version changes the work order text into the selected language.
What if something isn't translating correctly? That's exactly the kind of feedback we need during beta. If you notice something that isn't translating well — or isn't translating at all — please send a screenshot and description to so we can look into it.

Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.paintscout.com/support/beta-guides/work-order-translations-beta-guide.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
