Drupal TMGMT OpenAI: Revolutionizing Multilingual Sites

Khushboo Arora · 17 Sep, 2025

The AI TMGMT (Translation Management) module is an AI translator plugin for the Translation Management Tools (TMGMT) project. It leverages the AI Module to allow you to use OpenAI, Ollama, and various other providers (it is both free and paid). This also ensures you can always access the trendiest and most cost-effective models for automated and accurate content translation.

Key Features Of TMGMT

Given below are the key features overview of TMGMT:

It effortlessly and quickly translates the content with the help of AI, with the ability to adjust the translation style as needed.
Translate single or many nodes with just a few clicks.
Use an advanced translation job management tool for easy submission and review of translations.
The project supports all TMGMT features, such as a robust review process, the ability to translate various sources, and many more.

Installation

You can install it just like a contributed Drupal module.

Configuration

Turn on this module and at least one “Source” provider for TMGMT, such as “Content Entity Source.”
Configure at least one Provider in the AI module at /admin/config/ai/settings.
Go to /admin/tmgmt/translators to activate the TMGMT AI Provider.
Visit /admin/tmgmt/sources, submit a translation request, and examine the translated output to ensure it functions.

Note: You would want to install this patch as the base TMGMT module processes jobs twice, leading to higher use of tokens until the issue is fixed:
#3198609: Same Job processed/checkout twice by the JobCheckoutManager
