Configuring source and pivot languages

Add the source and pivot languages to the translation configuration file. Languages that are not configured are not generated by Translation Management.

Procedure

  1. Login to the Content Manager web client as a user with an Administrator user role.
  2. Select Settings > XML Translation Settings
    The Admin.XMLTranslationConfiguration.xml file is displayed in the right pane.
  3. Locate the section that begins with <languagepaths> in the file.
  4. Add a <languagepath> tag within the <languagepaths> tags, in the format:
    <languagepath from="xx" to="yy"/>
    • xx is the language code for the source or pivot language.
    • yy is the language code for the target language.
    This could result in a source-target language combination like:
    <languagepath from="en" to="it"/>

Example

The following example defines a source language of English with target languages for German, Spanish, French, Italian and Chinese. The last group indicates that Chinese can be used as source language (pivot) for translating to Japanese and Korean.
<languagepaths>
 <languagepath from="nl" to="fr"/>
 <languagepath from="en" to="de"/>
 <languagepath from="en" to="es"/>
 <languagepath from="en" to="fr"/>
 <languagepath from="en" to="it"/>
 <languagepath from="en" to="zh"/>
 <languagepath from="zh" to="ja"/>
 <languagepath from="zh" to="ko"/>
</languagepaths>
