Group translation options in a configuration

If you want to reuse a group of translation options repeatedly without having to re-enter or select the information for every translation job, an Administrator can create a configuration.

For example, you have a translation coordinator that is frequently using the following settings for most translation jobs:

  • Filter of Student
  • Translation Project of PD Rest Api
  • Translation Workflow of Psuedo
  • Translation Target Languages as French and Italian
  • Ignore Content Attributes as Use configuration
  • Included referenced content selected
  • Export configuration set to Export all references
  • Include Binary selected
  • Force translation of all components selected

To help the translation coordinator quickly create a job with these settings:

  1. An Administrator creates a translation configuration called Student Translations.
  2. The coordinator can create a new job, and on the Translate Component screen, in Translation Configuration, select Student Translations.
  3. In the Translate Component screen, all of the settings in the translation configuration are populated automatically.
  4. The translation coordinator can then change anything if it's different and set the job's Due Date.

Tips and tricks

  • You can set as many options as you need in the configuration. Only Name and Translation Project are required.
  • If you create only one configuration, it's automatically selected for the translation coordinator.
  • If you create multiple configurations, the one marked as Default is selected for the translation coordinator.
  • The translation coordinator can change the default selection if you create multiple configurations.
  • The selected configuration sets all the values in the Translate Component screen, including for the Filter option which opens the Filter Profiling Attributes screen.
  • The translation coordinator can override the settings in the translation configuration before clicking Translate.
