Symmetric Translations is a feature in Acquia Source that enables users to manage multilingual content directly within the Drupal Canvas experience. By configuring languages a single time, users translate pages, templates, and global regions through an integrated workflow. The symmetric approach requires users to build page layouts a single time in the default or source language of the site, and then provide text translations for each additional language through a dedicated translation interface. The layout structure remains consistent across all languages. The system overrides only translatable text content, such as strings, HTML, and URLs, per language.
