Editing a Translation Bundle

Keep Translations in Sync When You Publish

When you publish changes to the primary guidde, Guidde will prompt you to update your linked translations at the same time.

  1. After editing and publishing the primary guidde, a dialog will appear listing all linked translations in the bundle.

  2. Check the languages you want to update and uncheck any you'd like to leave as-is.

  3. Click Update at the bottom right to re-generate the selected translations based on the updated primary guidde.

Note: Only the translations you select will be updated. Any languages you uncheck will keep their current version.

Edit a Translated Version

1. Click any language in the dropdown list.

Click a Language

2. The translated version of the guidde will open on its view page, where you can watch, review, or make changes as needed.

3. You can edit every translated version by clicking Edit at the top right of the view page.

Edit a Translated Version

  • Each version can be edited independently, so changes won’t affect the other translations in the bundle, giving you the flexibility to tweak each one as needed.

4. You can add more translations to the bundle by clicking Translate at the bottom of the language dropdown menu in your translated guidde.

Note: You can create more translations from the primary video only, not from the linked translations. This ensures your bundle stays linked correctly and maintains the right structure.

Translate the Primary Guidde Again

5.If you attempt to translate a guidde into a language that already has a linked translation, a pop-up will notify you that continuing will overwrite any edits made to that translated version. If you continue, the translation will be regenerated based on the current version of the primary guidde.

How Translation Minutes Are Calculated

Translation minutes are used in two situations:

1. When you translate a guidde for the first time – The full duration of the guidde is counted for each language. For example: If your guidde is 5 minutes long and you translate it into three languages, 15 translation minutes are used.

2. When you update and publish a translated guidde – Only the duration of the steps that changed is counted, multiplied by the number of languages you update. Translation minutes are calculated when you publish. For example: If your guidde has six steps and you edit just Step 1, when you publish your changes, only the duration of Step 1 counts toward your translation minutes for each updated language—not the duration of the entire guidde.

This calculation applies whether you update translations manually or use Auto-Update Translated Versions on Publish.

Additional Options for Linked Translations

1. In your homepage, each video will have an indicator of all the linked translations.

3. In View Mode, each linked translation has a three-dot menu at the top right corner, that includes additional options.

4. Here, you can:

  • Make a copy of the guidde (if you wish to have it seperately)

  • View Insights

  • Set the language as the primary

  • Unlink this translation from the bundle.

  • Delete this translation

Set as Primary Language

If you switch the primary language, the selected linked translation will become the new primary Guidde. From then on, all translations will be created based on this new primary language.

Unlink a Translation

When you unlink a translation from the bundle it will become an independent guidde and will now appear separately in your homepage. Note that viewers will no longer see this language in the dropdown of the primary guidde.

Detatched Translation
  • When a guidde has a translation bundle, you'll see the language indicator and menu at the top of it's view page.

  • If a guidde was not yet translated, you'll see the Translate button at the top of the video's view page.

That's it!

When viewers receive a translated Guidde, they can simply click the language icon to choose their preferred language.
