As a proof of concept, you can try two approaches:

1. If you need translation on the fly, you will need to use third party services with a JS made requests. You`ll have to learn the API of ,for example, Bing translation service. And add some JS to send the text to it and replace the CKEditor content with the result.
2. You can also translate on server side using gems like this. So you can push text from ckeditor to your own backoffice, utilize the gem to send it to API. And render the form with the result.
