Translate Content with ClickUp AI Agents

Using ClickUp, you can automatically translate task content with AI agents that streamline multilingual work, keep formatting intact, and reduce manual copy-paste between tools.

This how-to guide walks you through everything you need to set up, use, and manage AI translation for your workspace.

What You Need Before Using ClickUp Translation

Before you start translating content, confirm that your environment supports AI agents and translation features.

• Access to the ClickUp workspace where AI agents are available
• Permissions to install or request apps and AI agents
• Tasks or documents with content ready to translate

The instructions below are based on the current AI Translation agent interface shown in the official documentation at this ClickUp translation page.

How ClickUp Translation AI Agents Work

The ClickUp translation AI agent converts text from one language to another directly inside your tasks. It analyzes the input language, applies your selected target language, and then writes the translated result into a new or existing task.

Typical use cases include:

• Translating customer requests into your team’s main language
• Preparing localized task descriptions for regional teams
• Standardizing internal documentation across languages

Enable the Translation AI Agent in ClickUp

To use translation, you first need to add or enable the AI agent from the ClickUp interface.

1. Open your ClickUp workspace and navigate to the AI agents area or app directory.

2. Locate the Translation AI agent in the list of available agents.

3. Select the agent to view its details and confirm it is available for your plan.

4. Click the option to add or enable the Translation AI agent to your workspace.

Once enabled, the Translation AI agent becomes available as an action you can trigger from supported task views or automation flows inside ClickUp.

Create a Translation Using ClickUp Tasks

After enabling the agent, you can start translating content from your tasks. The following steps describe a typical flow for translating a task description.

Step 1: Choose the Source Task in ClickUp

1. Open ClickUp and go to the Space, Folder, or List that contains the content you want to translate.

2. Select the task that holds the original language text (for example, a customer ticket or content brief).

3. Review the task description and comments to ensure the source text is ready for translation.

Step 2: Launch the Translation Agent

1. From within the task, open the AI or automation panel where agents can be applied.

2. Choose the Translation AI agent from the available options.

3. Confirm which part of the task you want to translate, such as:

   • Task title
   • Task description
   • Custom fields that hold user-facing text

Step 3: Configure Translation Settings in ClickUp

Configuring the agent ensures your translation output fits your workflow and language requirements.

1. Select the target language you want the content translated into. You can usually choose from a list of supported languages.

2. Decide how the translation should be saved:

   • Update the current task with translated content, or
   • Create a new task that contains the translated version

3. Optionally, specify whether formatting (such as lists and headings) should be preserved.

Step 4: Run and Review the Translation

1. Trigger the Translation AI agent to start processing the selected content.

2. Wait for the translation to complete. The result appears either in the original task or in the new task, depending on your settings.

3. Review the translated content for accuracy and tone. Make manual edits when needed, especially for brand-specific terminology.

Manage Multiple Translations in ClickUp

When you work with several languages, organization becomes essential. ClickUp task structures help you keep translations tidy and traceable.

Organize Translated Tasks

• Create separate Lists for each language and use the Translation AI agent to duplicate and translate tasks into the correct List.

• Add language-specific tags (for example, EN, ES, FR) to label tasks and filter them quickly.

• Use relationships or dependencies to connect the original task with each translated version.

Maintain Consistency Across ClickUp Spaces

To keep translations consistent across teams and Spaces, you can:

• Establish internal guidelines for tone, formality, and terminology that apply to every translation created in ClickUp.

• Store approved terminology or style notes in a shared Doc referenced by all translators and reviewers.

• Set up standard templates for multilingual tasks so that every new translation follows the same structure.

Best Practices for Accurate ClickUp Translations

AI agents can accelerate your workflow, but quality still depends on how you prepare and review content.

Prepare Clear Source Content

• Write concise sentences in the original language.

• Avoid slang or highly regional phrases that may not translate well.

• Spell out acronyms the first time they appear so the Translation AI agent has more context.

Review and Approve Inside ClickUp

• Assign a reviewer for each translated task to check terminology and grammar.

• Use comments to log feedback on AI translations and note corrections for future reference.

• Update templates or example tasks when you find better phrasing, so later translations stay consistent.

Troubleshooting ClickUp Translation Issues

If something does not work as expected, these checks often resolve common translation problems.

• Translation AI agent not visible: Confirm that the agent is enabled for your ClickUp workspace and that your user role has the correct permissions.

• Content not fully translated: Make sure you selected all fields you want translated and that the task description or other fields are not locked.

• Formatting problems: Review the agent settings related to preserving formatting, and test with a smaller sample first.

For additional guidance on translation behavior and supported languages, always refer back to the official ClickUp AI Translation documentation.
