About this task
You can configure what fields are sent to translation by configuring Schemas. Simple Schemas define the field types and metadata of Component content, and Metadata Schemas define metadata in Content Manager items. Folders, Structure Groups and Pages are Content Manager items that you can send for translation which may use these Metadata .
You can send the following fields in a Schema or Metadata field for translation:
- Text fields (but not if the values are selected from a list)
- External links (for example, if you want to translate a URL such as
google.co.uktogoogle.nl)
