Preparing a Language Version
The process of language preparation builds the index and table of contents, resolves references (graphics, conrefs, and so on), and makes the language version live. You can also choose to show or hide draft comments.

About this task
When you prepare a language version, the content is locked so that users may neither upload nor delete resources and is unlocked once the preparation is complete. Also, preparing a language version clears the cache.
If you prepare content that contains conrefs, the prepare process inserts the conref data and replaces the original. This original data will be stored within <lc:original> tags.
Using draft comments (with the <draft-comment> DITA tag) lets authors communicate questions to reviewers or highlight specific content to review. Hiding or showing the draft comments on a publication lets you control when they are visible to your readers. As you hover over an icon its label appears.
