# Vitra Universe- DITA File Translation

Translate DITA (.dita) files into 75+ languages while preserving XML structure, tags, references, and topic hierarchy.

[Connect](https://universe.vitra.ai)

Translate DITA (.dita) files and XML documentation into 75+ languages while preserving structure, tags, references, and hierarchy.

Vitra helps teams translate DITA documentation faster and more accurately without manually editing XML files.

Whether you are translating DITA documentation, technical manuals, product documentation, API documentation, knowledge base content, training guides, or enterprise documentation systems, Vitra helps teams scale multilingual technical documentation and structured content localization efficiently.

## What This Integration Does

Vitra uses AI agents in a DITA file translation workflow designed specifically for structured documentation localization and XML-based content systems.

Instead of translating XML files manually and rebuilding structure across topics, teams can upload .dita files directly into the Vitra platform.

Vitra automatically detects and translates all translatable content inside the DITA file while preserving XML tags, references, and topic relationships.

This enables faster technical documentation localization, multilingual documentation publishing, and global product documentation deployment.

## How It Works

### Step 1: Upload the file

- Start by uploading the DITA file (.dita).
- Vitra scans the file and detects translatable text while preserving XML tags and structural integrity.
