Configuring the translation review workflow

We recommend you stick with the out-of-the-box statuses and status transitions for the translation review workflow. If you nevertheless need to make any change, this requires you add a <translationstatuses> element to the XML Translation Settings.

About this task

Before you make any change, mind that the out-of-the-box workflow is designed for optimal compatibility with WorldServer and TMS systems.

Procedure

  1. Login to the Content Manager web client as a user with an Administrator user role.
  2. Select Settings > XML Translation Settings.
    The Admin.XMLTranslationConfiguration.xml file is displayed in the right pane.
  3. Locate the section that begins with <parameters> in the file.
  4. Before the <parameters> element, insert a <translationstatuses> element with the following content:
    <translationstatuses>
        <status type="Initial" ishref="VSTATUSTOBETRANSLATED"/>
        <status type="InTranslation" ishref="VSTATUSINTRANSLATION"/>
        <status type="TranslationInReview" ishref="VSTATUSTRANSLATIONINREVIEW"/>
        <status type="TranslationApproved" ishref="VSTATUSTRANSLATED"/>
        <status type="TranslationRejected" ishref="VSTATUSTRANSLATIONREJECTED"/>
    </translationstatuses>
  5. Create/modify statuses, initial statuses and status transitions according to your new flow. All instructions can be found in the documentation section about implementing a custom Workflow.
