Enabling translation of minor versions of Multimedia Components, Components and Pages
You can enable minor versions of content items to be translated. If you enable this feature, you can translate a content item if it is in workflow, if it is checked out, or of it is a non-checked-in item. To enable minor versions of Content Manager content items to be translated, switch this feature on in the Translation Manager configuration file.
About this task
This feature is switched on in the Translation Manager configuration file, TranslationManager.xml, and affects all Multimedia Components, Components and Pages.
If the Source Publication specifies a Minimal Localize Approval Status, the minor version is only translatable after it has attained that Approval Status. If it has not yet attained that Approval Status, the last major version is sent out for translation (or, if this is a non-checked-in item, that is, if there is no last major version, the item is rejected).
Although this feature works even if you have implemented embargo-based workflow rather than collaborative workflow, doing so makes little sense, because the translator will not be able to see the in-workflow content they are supposed to translate.
