How to auto-translate content in AEM Cloud (EDS) without manual clicks using Microsoft Translator

Environment:

  • AEM as a Cloud Service using Edge Delivery Services (EDS).
  • Authoring through the Universal Editor (UE) and standard AEM Sites console.
  • Translation Provider: Out-of-the-box (OOTB) Microsoft Translator.

Requirement: We need an automated "zero-click" translation process.

  • Source Language: English (/content/gmr/en)
  • Target Languages: Multiple (tr, fr, es, ja, etc.)

When an author modifies English content, it should automatically trigger a translation to all target languages and update the language copies for EDS delivery.

Current Issues:

  • Missing Rollout Option: The standard "Push to Translation" rollout configuration is not available in our AEM Cloud instance.
  • Launcher Failures: We have configured a Workflow Launcher on Node Modified to trigger the WCM: Translate Language Copy workflow.
    • The workflow instance starts but remains in the "RUNNING" state indefinitely.
    • The setup works perfectly when triggered manually via the "References" panel, but the automated version hangs.
  • MSM Integration: Live Copies are syncing correctly, but the translation step is the bottleneck.

Specific Question: How can we reliably automate the OOTB Microsoft Translator for multiple languages in an EDS project? Is there a recommended "Continuous Translation" pattern for AEM Cloud that avoids the use of custom launchers?
