Translation Jobs
You bundle content that you want to send for translation into a Translation Job which you can then send for translation to the translation management system.
A Translation Job in the Content Manager may be split into several Translation Jobs on the translation management system depending on the configuration of the Translation Manager and whether you are translating from multiple source or target languages. When a job has been translated on the translation management system and been processed through workflow, it is sent back to the Content Manager Server where the item is copied over and checked in. As the original job on the Translation Manager may have been split into several jobs in the translation management system, the Translation Job is not set to completed until all these jobs have been translated, returned, and checked in.
The translation management system is the owner of the translated content, therefore if you modify a localized item in the Content Manager which has been translated by the translation management system, these changes will be lost if the item you changed is sent to translation again because the translation management system works on the basis of a translation memory and it has no memory of these changes. The content will be translated according to its memory and the translation items it sends back will overwrite the ones in the Content Manager. Therefore, if you want to update the content of a translated item implement a review stage in the workflow (or manually update the translation units stored within the translation memory).
