How to simply translate Salesforce Experience Cloud

This article explains how SimpleT simplifies Salesforce Experience Cloud translation by importing XLIFF and XML files, translating them with a single click, and exporting the translated files for easy re-import into Salesforce.

Manual Experience Cloud Translation Is Hard

Manual translation in Experience Cloud becomes difficult as the system grows and more languages are added. In the beginning, it may feel manageable because there are fewer pages and limited content. But as the portal expands, the amount of text that needs translation also increases.

Over time, as pages grow, content expands, and regular updates continue, the effort required for translation keeps increasing. Every change needs attention, and every update adds more work. The same steps must be repeated again and again, and translation slowly turns into an ongoing task instead of a one-time activity.

Why It Becomes Hard to Manage

  • A lot of repetitive work

  • Time-consuming updates

  • Easy to miss small changes

  • Inconsistent translations across the portal

  • No clear visibility of what is fully translated

  • Every release requires the same effort again

How Simple Translate Makes Experience Cloud Translation Easier

Simple Translate makes translation in Experience Cloud easier to manage. Instead of handling translations one by one inside Salesforce, it allows you to work in bulk. Translation content is exported into structured files, so everything can be translated in a clear and organized way outside the system. Once the translation is ready, it can be imported back into Salesforce smoothly.

This reduces manual effort and removes the need for repeated clicking and editing. It also helps avoid missing translations and keeps the content consistent across languages. In simple words, Simple Translate brings structure and control to the translation process, making it easier to manage as your Experience Cloud grows.

Key Features of Simple Translate

  • Partial or Full Export Options
    You can choose to export only selected components or export the entire translation file. This gives flexibility based on your requirement.

  • One-Click Import of All Metadata
    After translation is completed, you can import all metadata back into Salesforce with a single click. No need to update items one by one.

  • Single-Click Translation Process
    The tool simplifies the translation workflow so you can handle large amounts of content quickly and efficiently.

  • Saves Time and Effort
    By removing repetitive manual work, it significantly reduces the time and effort required for translation management.

  • Better Control and Visibility
    It helps you manage translations in a structured way, making it easier to track and maintain consistency across languages.


  • Data Governance

    Create and manage translation jobs in a structured way. This helps track translation activities, maintain control over changes, and ensure proper governance of translations.

How SimpleT Works — Simple, Structured, Predictable

The workflow is clean and easy to visualize:

  • Export

    Export Experience Cloud metadata file in XML/XLIFF format from Salesforce.

  • Upload

    Import the file into SimpleT. Languages are automatically detected.

  • Bulk Translate

    Translate thousands of metadata entries at once using supported translation engines such as ST Google Translate Default, ST DeepL Default, ST AWS Default, or ST AI Default.

  • Re-Import

    Upload the translated file back into Salesforce Translation Workbench. Your multilingual Experience Cloud environment is ready to use across all translated languages.

Final Thoughts

Manual translation in Experience Cloud becomes harder to manage as content and languages increase. It takes time, requires repeated effort, and slows down releases. SimpleT simplifies this with partial or full export options, single-click translation, and one-click import, making the process faster, cleaner, and easier to control.
