Creating a Translation Job from Experience Manager
While editing a webpage in Experience Manager , you can quickly create a Translation Job to have the Page or any Components on the Page translated into one or more languages.
Before you begin
To create a Translation Job you must have Translation Management rights and one other Content Manager right to a Publication (or Publications) that is a target for the translated content.
Procedure
- On an editable webpage, start editing by clicking the pencil button in the top right corner.
- Send either the entire webpage or only a specific Component for translation as follows:
- To send the Page, right-click inside the webpage's border, but outside any Component border, to open its context menu, and select Translate.
- To send a Component, right-click anywhere inside a Component border to open its context menu, and select Translate.
- Specify how to send the items to translation:
- To add the items to a new translation job, select Create New Translation Job and click OK.
- To include the items in an existing translation job, select Add to existing Translation Job, then select one of the displayed jobs from the list and click OK.
Note: The From/To column indicates whether you are creating a Translation Job from a Source Publication (From) or from a Target Publication (To). - On the General tab, enter values in the Translation Job Details section:
- Enter a Name—Enter something that will describe the job and will distinguish it from other jobs in the translation queue.
- Ignore the Configuration path setting. It is for information purposes only and shows all paths that may be used in the translation job.
- If the translation system is TMS, you can set a Priority. Translation Jobs with higher priorities are sent sooner to TMS than those with lower priorities and also have precedence for translation in TMS.
- Select a Required Date—Select the date by which the translation should be returned from the translation management system. If you do not specify a value, the translation management system sets the due date based on configuration settings in that system.
- Select whether to Include already translated items—Select this option if you want to send previously translated items even if the source has not changed. By default, jobs do not include previously translated items unless the items have changed since they were last translated, making the translation out of date.
- On the General tab, in Translation Targets section:
- If you initiated a job from a Target Publication, you can specify the Workflow to use; if the field is read-only, the Workflow has been configured for you.
- If you initiated a job from a Source Publication, you can select the Languages you want to translate to and specify the Workflow to use.
- On the Added Items tab, you can see the items to be included in the Translation Job. If you are sending an entire Page, you can choose the following options:
- Select Translate Item check box to only send the webpage (Page) itself off to translation.
- Select Translate components check box to also send all the Components on this Page off to translation.
- When you are finished with the Translation Job, proceed by clicking one of the following in the Ribbon toolbar:
- Save—saves the Translation Job, which remains open for editing
- Save and Close—saves and closes the Translation Job (it remains in an editable state until it is sent)
- Send to Translation—sends the Translation Job to your translation system
