Getting Started With Inverb

Inverb is built for Contentful teams that want a tighter translation loop without the usual export, handoff, and re-import cycle.

At a high level, the workflow is:

1. Connect a Contentful space.
2. Set one source locale and one or more target locales.
3. Choose which top-level content types should appear in Inverb.
4. Translate an entry or a batch of entries.
5. Review only where you need to intervene.
6. Push approved translations back to Contentful.
7. Publish when you are ready.

The main areas of the app

• Content: browse entries, filter by content type, open a single entry, and start translations.
• Translations: monitor batches and request state across translation, push, and publish.
• Settings: configure the project, Contentful connection, glossary, AI models, users, and API keys.

The safest default workflow

If you are new to the app, use this sequence:

1. Finish project and Contentful setup first.
2. Run one entry through the full translation, review, push, and publish loop.
3. Confirm the target locale content looks right in Contentful.
4. Move to batches only after the single-entry loop feels correct.

That keeps scope narrow while you verify the exact behavior of your models, glossary, and publishing setup.

Important guardrails

• Inverb is designed to write translated content only into target locales.
• The source locale should never be used as a translation target.
• Locked reviewed content is intended to stay stable across later runs unless you explicitly update it.

If your team is nervous about automation, start with translation only, then add push and publish once review habits are in place.
