Sending a Translation Job

You can send a Translation Job to the translation management system from the Translation Job dialog, or you can send an existing Translation Job (with the status of Definition) directly from the Translation Jobs Queue.

Before you begin

To send an existing 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.

Procedure

  1. Access the slide-out navigation menu on the left and select Translations.
  2. The Translation Jobs screen opens and a list of Translation Jobs is displayed in the list view.
  3. Select a Translation Job from the list and click the Send to Translation button in the Ribbon toolbar.

Results

You have sent the Translation Job to the translation management system for translation. The Translation Job status changes from Definition to Ready for Translation, meaning it is waiting to be transferred to the translation management system.

What to do next

You can track the progress of the Translation Job in the Translation Progress tab of the Translation Job, or on the translation management system. Here you can see the current workflow step for each translatable item.
