Automatic project creation and translation workflow

An overview of the steps you need to perform to have projects created automatically.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Automation tab of the connector.
  2. On the Automation Settings page, do one of the following:
    • Select the Automatic submission and Automatic retrieval check boxes if you want projects to be created according to the cron job schedule.
    • Clear the Automatic submission and Automatic retrieval check boxes if you do not want projects to be created according to the cron job schedule.
    The two check boxes are selected by default.
  3. In the Project Template list, select the appropriate option.
    In this case, the project template includes the location of the customer and the options used for the project.
  4. Under Target language, select the languages that you want the product to be translated into.
  5. In the Project title prefix box, enter a prefix that will be added to each project created automatically.
  6. Under Days, select the days in which you want the project to run.
  7. Under Frequency, specify how often you want the automated process to generate translation projects.
  8. Under Items to process, specify the number of products that will be sent to translation.
  9. In the Max projects box, specify how many projects should be created for the items that will be processed.
  10. Select Save.

What to do next

Check your projects in the job list:
  • The value in the Published column indicates whether the translations have already been pushed to Akeneo (true) or not (false).
  • The project name is a combination of the prefix and the time stamp, whereas the description is the product ID taken from Akeneo.
  • If the status of the project is Unprocessed, it means that the automated cron job is still running. The status of the project will change as soon as the process is complete.
If you want to check the real-time progress of a project, select the All Projects tab.
