Create the live fields configuration

For Screens, select Issue create view and Issue view. This will guarantee that the selected fields are always translated even if they are updated after the issue is created.
Click Projects, and then click Select projects in the right-hand panel.
Select the project or projects to which your configuration should be applied.
Click Issue types, and then click Select issue types in the right-hand panel.
Select the issue types to which your configuration should be applied (for example, Story and Task).
Under THEN, click Add Scripted action, and then click Start scripting in the right-hand panel.
Enter the following script:

Figure 1 - Select issue types

// Translate the "Summary" and "Description" fields asynchronously
// using the `translate` function, then update the fields with the translated values.

//Fetch the user's locale value to use as a dynamic value for fromLanguage parameter
const context = await getContext();
const userLocale = context.locale;

// Fetch corrected values for "Summary" and "Description" simultaneously
const [translatedSummary, translatedDescription] = await Promise.all([
    translate("summary", userLocale, "Polish"), // Translate the content of the "Summary" field
    translate("description", userLocale, "Polish") // Translate the content of the "Description" field
]);

// Update the "Summary" field if translations were made
if (translatedSummary) {
    getFieldById("summary").setValue(translatedSummary);
}

// Update the "Description" field if translations were made
if (translatedDescription) {
    getFieldById("description").setValue(translatedDescription);
}

Click Save.
Check the box for On change to set the configuration to trigger only when the issue is updated.
Click Save.

Enable and test your configuration

Your configuration is now complete. Verify that the configuration is enabled on the Live Fields administration page. Once it’s enabled, you can test it by creating a new issue; verify that the Summary and Description fields are translated automatically - even at the time of entry for each field.

Congratulations!

You can now provide primary information about an issue in your team members' primary language!
