Request translations in Localization Workspace: Types
Add content types to a translation request in Localization Workspace. Your translation request can include multiple types of documents from tables across your instance.
Before you begin
- Content types correspond to tables. For details about making your content available to Localization Workspace, see Types of Localizable content in Localization Workspace.
- Complete the first step in the Translation Request wizard, then proceed to this step. See Request translations in Localization Workspace: Languages.
- Role required: sn_lw.user
About this task
When you choose content types to include in your request, Localization Workspace retrieves all untranslated or partially translated documents from the tables. Then in the next step of the wizard (Scope), the retrieved list is displayed so that you can select or deselect specific documents.
A document may be considered partially translated when its original is updated after it was translated. In such cases it may be possible to synchronize the translated versions to the English original by translating only the new portion of the text.
Items currently in the translation process can't be selected or resubmitted until the current translation finishes.
The following procedure covers step number two in the Translation Request wizard.
