# Content Translation

## What is Content Translation

Content Translation allows you to efficiently **translate the content of your SharePoint intranet** while **maintaining the same layout and formatting** for each piece of content. It's a feature that provides quick and accurate translation, eliminating language barriers, enabling seamless collaboration and fostering a more inclusive work environment.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Please note**: the component **utilizes Azure resources**. The consumption is low because Azure resources are only used when content is translated by editors. When end users access the translated content, there is no additional Azure consumption.​

You can find a Microsoft brochure with the costs at this link: [https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/cognitive-services/translator/​ ](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/cognitive-services/translator/?/)
