Authorizing SDL BeGlobal Translation Jobs

If authorization is required for a Translation Job before it is sent for translation, after you have you clicked Send to Translation you need to open the Translation Job and authorize it.

Before you begin

To view and modify a Translation Job you must have Translation Management rights and one other Content Manager right to a Publication that is a target for the translated content. The Translation Jobs displayed in the Translation Jobs queue is filtered depending on the access permissions of the user.

Procedure

  1. Open Content Manager Explorer.
  2. Select the Translation Jobs node in the Shortcuts area.

    A list of Translation Jobs is displayed in the list view.

  3. Select a Translation Job from the list and choose Open from the context menu.
    The Translation Job dialog appears.
  4. In the General tab Translation Targets section, review the Price and Quality Level and select one of the following:
    • Authorize—select if you are happy with the price and quality.
    • Reject—select if you do not want to go ahead with the translation.
    • Leave Open (the default)—select if you do not want to make a decision just yet.
  5. After authorizing one or more jobs:
    1. Scroll down to the bottom of the Translation Targets section.
    2. Review the Total Amount Selected for Authorization (3) (the number of authorized languages appears between brackets) and the total price in US dollars.
    3. Click Submit.

Results

The Translation Job is sent for translation to SDL BeGlobal.
