Enhancements to content authoring

Copy and paste an external image

When working with images in the Oxygen-based editor, you can copy an image directly from your computer into a topic you're editing.

  • Since the image doesn't exist in Inspire yet, the image is saved in the same folder as the component that you paste it into.
  • The image is given a default name of "image".
You can't copy and paste other binaries, such as PDFs.

For more details, read: Copy and paste an external image.

Enhancements to component management

See content read from Right-to-Left displayed correctly

Whenever you save a component in any way, Inspire ensures content that is read from Right-to-Left displays correctly.

For the topic's language, Inspire sets the Reading property in these cases:

  • If it doesn't exist yet
  • Only if the language Reading property is defined in the language definition as rtl (Right-to-Left)
  • For example, <concept id="concept_guid" xml:lang="ar-Ar" dir="rtl">
  • If the language Reading property is defined in the language definition ltr (Left-to-Right), Inspire makes no changes.
Administrators can set the language Reading property in the language definition.

For more details, read: Save a copy with all references.

Enhancements to project management

Add roles to workgroups

Inspire provides you with workgroups that you can use to collect participants that are needed to complete project activities.

You can assign a role to a workgroup, just like assigning users.

  • This lets you add many users at once to a workgroup.
  • After you assign roles to workgroups, you can select from any user name in the role when you:
    • Create workflow templates
    • Update workflow templates
    • Start a workflow
  • If a user is in a role but not a participant in the project where a workflow is being created, then Inspire adds that user to the project.

For more details, read: Manage template workgroups.

Enhancements to review management

See the review ID by default

By default, the Id column is now shown on all three panes in the Reviews Management tab: the Reviews, Reviewers, and Review Components panes.

You can search in this column.

You can sort by this column.

You can hide this column.

For more details, read: Things you can do on the Reviews tab.

Enhancements to translation management

Retrieve PD translated files with delivery issues

After you send components to Project Director for translation, you can use an option to try and retrieve translated files that weren't imported back into Inspire properly. Don't use this feature in place of the PD Rest API functionality of automatic retrieval of translation job files using webhooks. Please allow the job to complete normally.

  • You must be an Administrator or the Translation Coordinator for the job to see this option.
This option only works for jobs sent to Project Director.

For more details, read: See reference only components for a translation job.

See more information in the translation job notification

After a translation job is Completed or Cancelled, Inspire sends email to the translation coordinator.

The email notification contains the following information:

  • The translation job ID. (For Project Director and TransPerfect jobs.)
  • The translation job Name.
  • A list of target Languages used in the translation job.
  • If the job was successfully Completed or Cancelled in GlobalLink Vasont Inspire.
User Name of the account that completed or cancelled the translation job

For more details, read: Understand the translation process.

Create a translation target with the Reading property

When you send a component for translation, Inspire creates a target copy of the component in a new language sub-folder. When creating the target copy, Inspire ensures content that is read from Right-to-Left displays correctly.

For the topic's language, Inspire sets the Reading property in these cases:

  • If it doesn't exist yet
  • Only if the language Reading property is rtl (Right-to-Left)
  • For example: <concept id="concept_guid" xml:lang="ar-Ar" dir="rtl">
  • Inspire makes no changes if the language Reading property is ltr (Left-to-Right)

For more details, read: Sending components to translation FAQs.

Enhancements to publishing

See which languages you're publishing

Now you can open a Publishing Profile and go to the Components tab to see which languages are used in the components you are publishing.

  • You can see the language used in the component but it's read-only.
If necessary, Administrators can change a component's language.
For more details, read: Work with publishing profiles.

Enhancements to administration

Change a component's language

After you create a component, you can change its language attribute.

You must have Administrator permissions to see the Change language option in the Components browser.

  • The language you select is applied to the root level element in the xml:lang attribute.
This attribute changes which dictionary Inspire loads when you open a component to edit it.
