Adding Metadata Schema information to TranslationManager.xml

In order to send Metadata information as part of a Translation Job, you must add the identifier or location of the relevant Metadata Schema to TranslationManager.xml.

Before you begin

A Metadata Schema has been created.

Procedure

  1. Open the TranslationManager.xml file in a text editor. By default, the file is located in your %TRIDION_HOME%\config directory.
  2. Find the Metadata Schema's identifier or location:
    • Either copy the Metadata Schema's URI from the Schema's Info tab. URIs begin with: tcm: followed by the Schema's unique identifier.
    • Or make a note of the Schema's location and name.
  3. The TranslationManager.xml file contains the <TranslationMetadataSchemas> element, with <MetadataSchema> child elements. These elements are commented out by default. Remove the comment markers <!-- and --> to make the <TranslationMetadataSchemas> elements 'live'.
  4. Add the Schema's URI or location (in WebDAV format) to the <MetadataSchema> element. You can specify multiple Metadata Schemas, for example:
     <TranslationMetadataSchemas>
       <MetadataSchema>tcm:1359-20754-8</MetadataSchema>
       <MetadataSchema>/webdav/Matadata Demo_01 Source/Building Blocks/Component Schema.xsd</MetadataSchema>
     </TranslationMetadataSchemas>
  5. Restart the Translation Manager Service.
