Before creating a language copy, be sure you have created the language root(s) for each site.

A Language Copy provides a way to create a copy of a site (or part of a site) that is specially designed for translation. With a language copy, manage translations for the contents of a folder, a sub folder, or a single page. To create a language copy,

Enable the Column View

Log into AEM as an administrator.
Go to the side rail and select Sites.
Switch to Column View. (Click the current view (upper right) until the Column View appears).

Create a Language Copy

Go to the original version of the site (usually English) and navigate to the content you wish to translate.
Click to select a directory, subdirectory, or page.
With the content selected, click References (upper left).
On the left rail, select Language Copies. Then select Create & Translate (lower left).
Complete the dialog.
Languages:
1. Scroll to select the desired target language(s).
2. Select all subpages: To translate all content, leave this checked. To translate just the selected page (and none of its subpages), uncheck this box.
3. Project: Select Create a new translation project.
4. Title: Give the project a descriptive name. This is the name of the translation project where you will manage the translation job.

When you create a Language Copy, AEM automatically creates a translation job.
Once the job is created, be sure to go into the job and start the translation.
