Pushing Objects into Translation

Objects may be typically pushed to translation at certain milestones in your process. You can push object that are released in the source language for translation at any time.

Before you begin

When translation is triggered on a publication, make sure that the baseline object contains version information and the objects are released.

About this task

Use PUSH translation when:
  • Requested languages are defined for the object.
  • Translation Management is enabled on the object.
  • You want language topics to automatically be generated for the Requested Languages when the source language is Released.
  • You want pre-translation to automatically take place when the source language is Released.

    This only happens if a previous version of the language topic is available and is released.
