CKEditor AI: Translate

In-Editor Language Translation for Multilingual Teams

CKEditor AI Translate lets you translate entire documents directly inside the editor – no copy-pasting, no reformatting, no external tools. AI Translate automatically inserts the translated text with the original appearing on the sidebar as separate sections. To review, hover over the original content to highlight the translated section.

AI Translate in CKEditor

What Is AI Translate?

CKEditor AI Translate is a dedicated content translation mode built into the editor. It translates the entire document in one go and presents the output in the editor.

You review the translation before applying it. The original content stays visible in the sidebar, so you always have a reference point. Once you accept the entire translation it becomes fully editable and your normal writing workflow continues from there.

How In-Editor
AI Translation Works

Activate AI translation

Select the target language and trigger translation. The entire document processes in one pass.

Review translation segment-by-segment

Translated text appears in the editor in full, while the original content appears in the sidebar, divided into sections for a side-by-side comparison. Whether you review by going over the original snippets or the translation, corresponding sections are underlined for an easier review.

Keep editing

Once accepted the translation is fully editable. The workflow continues as normal.

Customer Support Metrics Report

Operational Summary – Second Half of 2025

Overview

This report summarizes customer support performance during the second half of 2025. It focuses on ticket volumes, response efficiency and common issue categories, based on internal operational data across all support channels.

The information below should be treated as an overview of observed trends rather than a detailed performance evaluation.

Support Process Overview

The diagram outlines our internal customer support process, showing how incoming requests are handled across multiple support tiers based on complexity.

Customer inquiries are initially managed by Tier 1: Frontline Support, which is responsible for triage and resolution of common issues. More complex cases are escalated to Tier 2: Technical Support, where deeper technical investigation is performed.

High-impact or unresolved issues are handled by Tier 3: Escalation Team, which coordinates with internal experts as required. Specialist Teams support Tier 2 and Tier 3 by providing domain-specific expertise, while typically remaining non-customer-facing.

The process is designed to allow flexible movement between tiers, supporting efficient resolution and appropriate escalation when needed.

Ticket Volume

During the reporting period, the support team processed 184,600 tickets, representing an increase of 11% compared to the previous period. Ticket volume peaked in September and gradually stabilized towards the end of the year.

The increase was primarily driven by onboarding-related questions and product configuration requests.

Channel Distribution

Channel Share of Tickets Change vs. Previous Period Avg. First Response Time
Email 54% -3% 3.1 hours
Live Chat 31% +5% 1.2 hours
In-App Support 15% -2% 2.4 hours

Email remained the dominant support channel, although live chat usage continued to increase, particularly among larger accounts.

Resolution Efficiency

Average response and resolution times showed minor improvement compared to earlier in the year.

  • Average first response time: 2.4 hours
  • Average resolution time: 18.7 hours
  • Tickets resolved within 24 hours: 68%

More complex cases, especially those related to integrations, required additional follow-up and were not consistently resolved within standard timeframes. While faster response times were generally appreciated, qualitative feedback indicates that communication consistency played an equally important role in overall customer perception.

"Faster responses were helpful, but consistency in follow-up communication had a bigger impact on our overall experience."

— Enterprise customer, post-resolution survey

Common Issue Categories

The most frequently reported issues were:

  1. Account access and authentication
  2. Billing and invoice related questions
  3. Feature usage clarification
  4. Integration setup
  5. Performance-related concerns

Billing-related requests declined slightly, while integration-related inquiries increased towards the end of the period.

Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction was measured through post-resolution surveys. The overall response rate remained stable throughout the reporting period.

  • Average CSAT score: 4.2 / 5
  • Survey response rate: 27%

Feedback most often referenced response time and clarity of follow-up communication as areas for improvement, particularly in cases involving multiple handovers or escalations.

Identified Bottlenecks

Internal review identified several operational areas that may require further attention:

  • Delays in ticket reassignment for escalated cases
  • Inconsistent categorization of incoming requests
  • Limited coverage during selected regional peak hours

While these issues did not materially impact aggregate performance metrics, they were visible in individual case handling and customer feedback.

"The issue was eventually resolved, although it was not always clear who was responsible for the case during escalation."

— Key account feedback, quarterly review

Summary

Overall support performance remained within expected operational ranges. Most key indicators were stable, with moderate improvements observed in response efficiency. At the same time, the data suggests that further improvements in communication clarity and escalation handling could positively impact customer experience in future reporting periods.

Benefits for Content Teams

Content teams working across languages spend a disproportionate amount of time on mechanics – copying, pasting, reformatting, reconciling. AI Translate cuts that overhead significantly.

Speed without sacrificing accuracy

Translate full documents in seconds. Side-by-side comparison where content is divided into sections with highlights for corresponding sections lets you move through the review quickly, segment by segment, without losing track of the original.

Formatting that survives

Headings stay headings. Tables stay tables. Bullet lists, bold text, inline links – all preserved. AI Translate produces HTML-native output, so the structure of your document is never a casualty of translation.

No context switching

Translators and editors stay inside the editor. The source content is always visible in the sidebar. There is no need to juggle browser tabs or manage separate files for the original and translated versions.

A review flow you can trust

The translation is a suggestion, not an automatic replacement. You control if it gets accepted and what gets revised. That review step means your team stays accountable for quality without adding manual overhead.

Benefits for Engineers

If you are building an application that handles multilingual content, AI Translate integrates without requiring a separate translation service, API key management overhead, or custom UI work.

Drop-in plugin

Add AI Translate to your CKEditor setup the same way you add any other plugin. No external translation service to wire up.

Works with the LLMs you already use

AI Translate is compatible with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and custom LLMs – whichever model you have configured for CKEditor AI. The translation uses the same LLM connection as your other AI features.

Configurable language list

The 10 built-in languages cover most use cases. When your application needs more, you configure additional languages directly in the plugin options.

HTML-native output

The translated content preserves the document's full HTML structure. No post-processing needed to restore formatting. The editor receives clean, structured output that works with your existing rendering and storage logic.

On-premises available

For applications where data residency matters, CKEditor AI – including AI Translate – is available as an on-premises deployment. Your content never touches external infrastructure unless you choose it.

Compliance ready

SOC 2 Type 2 certified, HIPAA and GDPR compliant out of the box.

AI Translate vs External Translation Tools

External translation tools solve a different problem. They work well for bulk document
translation in isolation. They are not built for editors, and the workflow shows.

The core difference is integration. CKEditor AI Translate is not a translation tool you connect to an editor. For teams building applications where content is created and translated in the same environment and where formatting integrity is non-negotiable.

You can use AI Translate alongside AI Chat for a complete in-editor AI writing experience: draft, refine, and translate without ever leaving the editor.

Does AI Translate preserve my document formatting?URL Copied

Yes. AI Translate produces HTML-native output, which means headings, lists, tables, bold text, links, and every other formatting element survive the translation intact.

How do I review a translation before applying it?URL Copied

Translated content appears in the document as a suggestion, while the original content stays visible in the sidebar, for side-by-side comparison. You review the translation section by section, hovering over a section in the translation or the original content will highlight the corresponding section. By accepting, you apply the full translation in one step – nothing replaces your original content until you do.

Can I translate just part of a document?URL Copied

AI Translate is a full-document translation mode. To translate a smaller selection – a heading, a sentence, or a snippet – use the Translate action in AI Quick Actions instead.

Is AI Translate available on-premises?URL Copied

Yes. CKEditor AI, including AI Translate, is available as an on-premises deployment for teams that require full data sovereignty. It is also SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA/GDPR compliant.

How does AI Translate differ from Quick Actions Translate?URL Copied

Both translate content inside the editor, but they work at different scales.

  • AI Translate is a dedicated translation mode for the entire document. It processes the whole document in one pass, presents the result in the editor with the original content visible in the sidebar for side-by-side comparison, and ships with 10 built-in languages plus the ability to add additional ones. It's built for localizing a full document with structured review.

  • Translate in AI Quick Actions is a one-click action on the text you've selected. It covers seven languages – English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian – and returns the result inline to accept, retry, or reject. It's built for quick, localized fixes like a heading, a sentence, or a snippet.

Reach for AI Translate when you're localizing a full document. Use the Quick Action when you need to translate a small piece without leaving your flow.
