Work Order Translations Beta Guide
Translated Work Orders work with your existing estimates and invoices — no additional setup required.
Translated Work Orders give your field crew the ability to view, download, and send work orders in their preferred language. For painting companies with multilingual crews, this means less friction on the job and no more relying on manual translation.
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!

How to Access a Translated Work Order
There are two ways to access a translated work order.
From the Estimate or Invoice
Open the estimate or invoice
Open the work order link
Select the language you would like to view or download
Click Download to download the work order in the language you are currently viewing

From the Deal Page

How to Send a Translated Work Order
You can send a translated work order directly to your crew or painters:
Open the estimate or invoice and go to the Work Order page
Click the Send button
Complete the required fields
Select French or Spanish in the Work Order Language dropdown
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

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 product@paintscout.com
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 product@paintscout.com so we can look into it.
