Label the copies with the language in which you want to translate your campaign. In this case, we will translate our campaigns into Spanish.

Translation memories is the location where your translation is saved. You can choose to save your translation in a global shared translation memory that can be accessed by anyone using Translator Toolkit or you can choose to save it in an unshared translation memory. Unshared translation memories can only be accessed by you and the people to whom you have given explicit access. In this case, we want to keep out translations private so we'll select our own translation memory. When you're finished, click upload Translator Toolkit takes your file and automatically translates your keyword and ad text using a combination of machine and human translations. The human translations are texts that you have previously corrected in Translator Toolkit. So for example, if you had previously translated Goodbye into Spanish as Hasta luego, Translator Toolkit will prefer your previous translation over the machine translation, Adios. The more translations you complete using Translator Toolkit, the better it gets over time. Translator Toolkit displays your translation in three panes: a left nav that shows you your campaigns and adgroups, a middle pane that shows you the original keyword and ad text, and a third pane that shows the translation. In this case, the keywords and ad text are in Spanish. Since automatic translation is not perfect, you should review each keyword and ad text in the right panel and make corrections as needed to fully localize or adapt the campaign into your language. As you translate the campaign, you’ll find that translator toolkit automatically detects errors in the translation. In this case, habitacion barata Italia comes up twice so we want to remove this extra keyword. In the ad text, Mas de cuatrociento hostales en Italia - Libro has more than 36 characters so we'll have to adjust it. We'll stop there but you should go through your campaigns and fix all the errors that you find. In particular, make sure your transled keywords and ad text are localised, meaning that they make sense for your local market and not simply translated word for word. Once you are happy with your translations, click share > download to save your translation to your computer. In this case, we will again save it to our desktop. Now reopen AdWords Editor.
