Adding items to a Translation Job

You can add items to an existing Translation Job that has not yet been sent for translation (whose status is Definition).

Before you begin

To add items to 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.

About this task

Any user who is authorized to initiate translations and who has access permissions to the Publication which is a target, or potential target, of translated content can add items to an existing Translation Job.

Procedure

  1. Open Content Manager Explorer.
  2. Select one or more translatable items in a configured Publication and choose BluePrinting > Translate from the context menu.
    You are prompted to add an item to the existing Translation Jobs, or to create a new one.
  3. In the popup, select Add to existing Translation Job.
  4. Select a Translation Job from the displayed list and click OK.
    The Translation Job dialog appears for the Translation Job you selected with the Content Manager items you selected added to the job.
  5. Click Save or Save and Close in the Ribbon toolbar to commit the changes—the Translation Job remains in an editable state until you send it for translation.

What to do next

If you have saved the Translation Job, you can view, modify, and add items to the Translation Job, send it for translation, or delete it.
