# Translating Work Orders to Another Language

## Option 1: Use the Google Translate Chrome Extension <a href="#h_f73546455d" id="h_f73546455d"></a>

[Google Translate for Chrome](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb)

Once you have downloaded the extension, here's how to translate your page!

Here are some notes about it:

* Downloading or Sending links to Work Orders would *not* have the translations... It's only on the browser that you have the translator running. You should be able to print with the translations on though.
* We aren’t liable for any of the translations. They would be provided by Google Translate, which we have no control over. It's just doing the same thing as copying/pasting text into <https://translate.google.com/>

## Option 2: Add a Crew Note in another language <a href="#h_601732d4a2" id="h_601732d4a2"></a>

You can add a crew note to any production rate or line item.

These notes will only show on the work order for your team to see.

Here are some notes about it:

* You are manually adding the translations to the crew notes. It won't automatically translate the area label or product etc.
* You won't really be able to avoid *some* English on the page.\

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. 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/estimating/managing-estimates-and-work-orders/work-orders/translating-work-orders-to-another-language.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
