Improving and translating articles with AI

Rewriting an article with AI, translating your library into the languages your network uses, and what to check before you accept either.

Last updated September 16, 2026


Two things in the Knowledge Base are done by AI: improving the writing of an article, and translating it. Both produce a result you review rather than a result you accept. Translation is billed to your organisation as an AI translation action; Improve with AI is not billed, though it is rate limited to a few requests a minute.

Improve with AI

Improve, in the article editor, rewrites what you have written — tightening the wording, fixing the structure, and making a set of notes read as an article. It is most useful on something you have written quickly and know is not clear, and least useful on something already carefully worded.

Read the result before you save it. AI rewriting is good at making prose read well and indifferent to whether it is still true, so it will happily smooth over a step you needed. Any picture or embedded video in the article is protected during the rewrite and put back afterwards, so you will not lose those.

Check the specifics survived
Numbers, screen names, button labels and the order of steps are exactly what a rewrite is most likely to alter, and exactly what a reader depends on. Read the improved version against the original before saving, particularly anywhere the article tells somebody to do something in a fixed order.

Translating your library

A network operating in more than one language can have its articles translated automatically. Select Knowledge Base in the left-hand menu, then Settings.

SettingWhat it does
Translate intoThe languages your articles are translated into. Choose the languages your network actually reads, not every language you might one day want.
Translate guides automatically when they are savedEach time a Published article is saved, its translations are refreshed. This is what keeps the other languages from drifting behind the original. Drafts are left alone and are translated once they are published.
Translate all guides nowTranslates every published article, and your category names, in one pass. Use it once, after you first choose your languages.

A single article can also be translated on its own from the editor, which is what you want when you have corrected one article and do not need the rest redone.

Translations are editable. Where a translation is not quite right — a product name that should not have been translated, a term your network uses differently — switch to that language in the editor and correct it by hand. Save first: switching language reloads the content and discards unsaved edits.

TRANSLATING EVERYTHING COSTS SOMETHING EVERY TIME
With automatic translation on, each save re-translates that article into every language you have chosen. On a large library being actively edited, that adds up. It is worth choosing your languages deliberately rather than selecting them all, and finishing an article before you publish it rather than saving it twenty times.
