Digital content translation techniques and systems

In a digital medium environment to cause automatic generation of a plurality of derived format versions responsive to a translation of source digital content, a system comprising:

• an input module implemented at least partially in hardware of at least one computing device to receive a request to cause translation of source digital content;
• a translation manager module implemented at least partially in hardware of the at least one computing device to cause a portion of the source digital content to be translated;
• a link manager module implemented at least partially in hardware of the at least one computing device to identify a plurality of derived format versions for generation based on the source digital content, the identification based on metadata indicative of a link between the source digital content and the plurality of derived format versions;
• and
• a plurality of format generation modules implemented at least partially in hardware of the at least one computing device, each said format generation module is configured to generate a respective format of a plurality of different format types from the source digital content based on the translated portion.

A system comprising:

• means for generating metadata including a source content identifier usable to locate source digital content and at least one version identifier usable to locate a derived format version of the source digital content;
• means for locating the source digital content based on the metadata in response to an input to cause translation of at least a portion of the source digital content;
• means for causing generation of a translated version of the source digital content;
• means for updating the source digital content based on the translated version;
• and
• means for generating a plurality of derived format versions from the updated source digital content.
