Email Automatic translation

Today, if you receive an email in a language different than your settings in Outlook, Hotmail, Gmail you get an auto translation bar. This is great because the Machine Learning translations models (DeepL, Systran, Google, etc) are far much better that just few months ago and allows people to access quality acceptable content in any language without the painful process of translation.

 

Mailchimp has the option to bring the link automatically into the content throught a "Token"

"The *|TRANSLATE:XX|* merge tag generates Google Translate links in your campaign for each supported language, so subscribers can click to view your sent campaign in their preferred language."

 

Is this possible or will be possible in Marketo?

for example

translate.google.com/translate?sl=en&tl=es&u={{system.viewAsWebpageLink}}

Perhaps you could replace the target language with a recore preferred language token .....

This isn't currently possible in Marketo OOTB, but there's already an idea along the similar lines on the ideas board if you'd like to upvote. Feel free to create a new idea if your requirement varies greatly with the linked idea/add your comment to the existing idea if you have some additions to it (maybe explain your use-case).

I was thinking something like...

translate.google.com/translate?sl=en&tl=es&u={{system.viewAsWebpageLink}}

Perhaps you could replace the target language with a record preferred language token ..... And works but you need to untrack the link

Interesting, this won't work for a tracked link though.
