Adding a standard translation workflow for Tridion Sites

You need to define workflows for your Tridion Sites translations that include certain workflow steps.

Before you begin

Before adding a workflow, define a custom human action called Translated Content Retrieval.

Procedure

  1. In WorldServer, go to Management > Workflow > Workflows.
  2. Select Add.
  3. Add the following steps in order: Start, Clear Segment, Segment Asset, Translate, Translated Content Retrieval, Finish.
  4. Assign the appropriate users or workflow roles to each step and configure their advanced options, if necessary.
  5. Create the appropriate transitions:
    1. Make sure that the transition from Segment Asset to Translate has the Translatable value.
    2. Make sure that the transition from Segment Asset to Finish has the Not Translatable value.
    3. Make sure that the transition from Translated Content Retrieval to Finish has the Retrieved value.
    If an asset reaches the Finish step without being picked up by Translated Content Retrieval, the Content Manager considers it canceled.
    Your workflow should now be similar to the following:A standard translation workflow for the integration between WorldServer and Tridion Sites.
  6. Select Save.
