Viewing a Translation Job

You can view all existing Translation Jobs in the Translation Jobs queue. You can modify Translation Jobs that have not yet been sent for translation (those with status Definition).

Before you begin

To view and modify a 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. The Translation Jobs displayed in the Translation Jobs queue are filtered depending on the access permissions of the user.

Procedure

  1. Access the slide-out navigation menu on the left, select Translations.
  2. The Translation Jobs screen opens and a list of Translation Jobs is displayed in the list view.
  3. You can filter and sort the list based on the values in any of the columns:
    • Name— specifies the name assigned to the Translation Job
    • Date/Time— specifies when the Translation Job was created
    • To/From— specifies whether the job was initiated from a Source or Target Publication
      • To—the job was initiated from a Target Publication
      • From—the job was initiated from a Source Publication (multiple targets are possible)
    • Language— specifies the language of the Publication where the job was initiated
    • Publication— specifies the name of the Publication where the translation was initiated
    • Completed— specifies the percentage completion
    • Status — specifies the current status of the translation job
  4. To view additional information about a job, select a Translation Job, a panel opens on the right side of the screen. The panel contains the following information:
    • Target Languages tab - displays all the languages to which the content will be translated
    • Added Items tab - a list of items that were added to the job
    • Notifications tab - displays error messages, and is only visible when an error has occurred with sending or retrieving data
  5. To open a Translation Job, select the Job from the list and click the Open folder icon.
    The Translation Job dialog appears.
  6. You can modify properties and settings, and view information about the job, in the Translation Job dialog.

What to do next

If you have saved the Translation Job, you can view, modify, and add items to the Translation Job, send it for translation, or delete it.
