Yes. If a vendor is working in an external application that Inspire can communicate with, such as GlobalLink Enterprise (formerly known as Project Director), if you cancel a translation job sent to this vendor, the administrator can configure Inspire to send a message to the vendor's application to cancel the job there also.

Before you can cancel an API integration job, an administrator must configure the vendor to allow cancellations. If you don't see an option to cancel a job, verify the following requirements:

• An administrator has configured an API integration vendor to allow cancellations of unfinished jobs
• The translation job you want to cancel was sent to a vendor who uses API integration

Project Director has been renamed to GlobalLink Enterprise.

1. Go to the Translation Management tab.
2. Look in the SubId column. GlobalLink Enterprise generates this ID. If there is an ID, then this job was sent to GlobalLink Enterprise.
3. Look in the Project column. If the job was sent using an Inspire REST API method or a custom configuration your organization has created that uses the API method, it could have been sent to GlobalLink Enterprise.

For all jobs large and small, when you cancel a translation job:

1. You see a notification that the process has started.

   

2. You see a notification when the process completes.

   

3. On the Translations Management tab, for the selected job, you now see a State of Cancelled.

When a job contains cancelled and completed components, the State changes to Partially Completed.

Administrators can review jobs in any of the following States and force them to have a Status of Completed:

• Needs Translation
• In Progress
• Translating
• Partially Completed
• Cancelled
• Completed

If all components are cancelled or completed, Inspire sets the State of the job to Completed.

If some components are still active, Inspire prompts you to cancel them.

For more information, read Force a translation job to be Completed.

In translation, a target file is a copy of the source file that can been translated into a different language.

• When you send a component to translation, Inspire creates a target file for each language you include in the translation request. This target file includes the original source content.
• If you cancel a translation job before a target file is translated, then Inspire removes the target file.
• If you cancel a translation job after a target file is translated, then Inspire leaves the target file even though the translation job was cancelled. This allows you to retain the translated file.

If a job is cancelled in Inspire, resetting the job changes its Status back to In Progress.

• Resetting a job in Inspire has no impact on the job in GlobalLink Enterprise. A user in GlobalLink Enterprise must reset the workflow there.
• You can complete the job normally.

Follow the steps in Reset a translation job in Inspire.
