Introduction

The DatoCMS connector from Locale allows you to easily translate any text content types in your content models quickly and easily. Simply add the necessary target languages to your settings page and let Locale do the rest. And by connecting it with your existing workflows, you do not need to make changes to your translation provider, whether it’s a single person, a translation agency (LSP) or even an MT server.

What you will need to get started

The admin login information for your DatoCMS instance.

Note: If you do not possess the correct credentials to access this information, please contact your system administrator or your DatoCMS representative. Locale does not have access to this nor do we provide this information.

Accessing your DatoCMS instance.

  1. Start by accessing your DatoCMS instance with your username and password.

  1. Select the Settings section at the top of the page and navigate to the Permissions – API tokens section to the left.

  1. Select the Full-access API token option, and copy the API key from the menu.

    1. Note: If this API token is regenerated at any time, this information will need to be updated in the Locale project as well to maintain localization functionality.

  1. Now return to your locale instance to finish configuring your project.
