Setting up entity queues

Entityqueue is a Drupal module that allows you to set up queues to process different Drupal items. While this is not an RWS module, it can be used to automatically monitor certain content and automatically add it to a translation project when it is changed. Items in the queue will be sent for translation in cron runs.

Procedure

  1. Go to Structure > Entityqueues, and then select Add entity queue.
  2. Fill in the required fields.
    • Automatically add entities to queue: If you select this checkbox, the items will be added to the queue during the creation of the selected content type; this is not a part of the RWS connector for Drupal, it is a contributed module for the automatic insertion of entities into Entity Queue (Auto Entityqueue).
    • Enabled Translation: If you select this checkbox, the queue items will be submitted for translation during cron run.
    • Project Options Name: The project options available for translation.
    • Languages: Select the appropriate target languages.
    • Frequency: Everyday (items will be submitted on every cron run), Weekly (items will be submitted once a week), or Monthly (items will be submitted once a month).
  3. Make additional configurations by going to Translation > Provider > RWS Translation Management > Edit.
    • Number of queue items to process on cron: The number of items that will be submitted for translation in one cron run. Items will be removed from the queue after they are submitted successfully.
    • Weekday: The day when items will be submitted for translation for weekly and monthly items.

Results

After each cron run, the submitted items will be removed from the queue: You can check the status of submitted items by going to Translation > Jobs.
