Add a verified translation

A verified translation is checked by you, so people reading the knowby in another language can trust it.

Step 1 of 6

A verified translation is one you’ve checked and confirmed yourself, so viewers can trust what they read — no worries about mistranslation. Verified languages also show up as a language option when someone views a public knowby.

In Knowby Studio, open the Languages tab.

Step 2 of 6

Click Add Languages and pick a language — for example, Japanese (JA). Knowby translates the title, description, steps and forms. Every part is marked Unverified.

Step 3 of 6

Check the step's translation, edit it if needed, and tick Translation verified. The label changes to Verified translation and the step's thumbnail is no longer marked red.

Step 4 of 6

Do the same for Title & Description.

Tip: Form fields are translated too — check and verify them in the same way.

Step 5 of 6

Go through every step. When all of them are verified, the language gets a green checkmark.

Good to know: If you later change the text of a step, its translation is no longer verified. See the “Update a translation after changes” guide.

Step 6 of 6

To add another language, click Add Languages and repeat the same check for it — a new language starts unverified. Then click Done.

Tip: A language you add but don’t fully verify is still available to viewers as an auto-translation.
