About this task
Note that the Enable Translation Management property results in different behavior for topics and images:
- Images
- If Enable Translation Management is not selected for images (thus indicating that the images require no translation), it is assumed that the image is content-free or language-neutral, and therefore the source language is sufficient for the output. Because of this assumption, the image can be given a release candidate status even if there is no target language version of the image.
- Topics
- The rule described for images is never applicable for topics, because it is assumed that they are never content-free. So for a topic, the translation always has to be present and released before you can have a release candidate and release the output. For topics, the Enable Translation Management property merely defines whether or not Content Manager should generate the target language object for translation.
