Configuring Target content

You need to configure the Publications, Folders, Structure Groups, or Categories that contain content that requires translating.

Before you begin

To configure target content:

  • You must have Translation Configuration rights for the Publication
  • You must have configured items—Publications, Folders, Structure Groups, or Categories—that contain source content in a Parent Publication in the BluePrint hierarchy.

Procedure

  1. Open the Content Manager Explorer.
  2. Select the Publication, Folder, Structure Group, or Category which contains content that requires translating and choose Properties from the context menu.
  3. Select the Translation tab.
  4. Set Item is configured for translation to Yes.
  5. In the Item is configured for translation section:
    1. Select the Target for translation radio button.
    2. Optional: In the Send notification e-mail to field, enter a comma-separated list of e-mail addresses of people who need to be notified when items are sent for translation.
  6. In the Translation source configuration section, select the Language from the drop-down list:
    • If you are using SDL TMS, the languages displayed are derived from the Configuration ID (GUID) of the source content.
    • If you are using SDL WorldServer, the languages displayed are derived from the locales configured on SDL WorldServer.
    The Source language configuration displays the following properties:
    • Use—deselect if you do not want to use configured source content for translations (source content can be configured at many levels of the BluePrint hierarchy).
    • Language—the source language.
    • Item—the Publication, Folder, Structure Group or Category that contains source content.
    • Default Workflow or Default Project Type depending on whether you are sending translations to respectively SDL TMS or SDL WorldServer.
    • Authorization required:
      • For SDL TMS, if authorization is required Translation Jobs will stop at the Authorization workflow stage on SDL TMS.
      • For SDL WorldServer, the setting is not used.
  7. Click Save and Close.

Results

The items you configured contain content that requires translating.
