# Using the Lionbridge Connector (Automatic workflow)

### NOTE

For Connector versions 3.3.x and above Automated submissions are configured using [Criteria Configuration](/inriver-translation-connector/criteria-configuration.md). 

### Query

To automatically select content for translation you need to create a query. The Query can be designed in any way you prefer, but the default is to find entities with a Translation Status = **Need translation**.

Name the query something like "EntitiesNeedTranslation" (or any other name you set up in the Job Manager).\
As the Connector has a hard coded criteria that entity type matched in the query must also have a status of **Need translation**, you do not need to include this criteria in the actual query.

Example here shows a Query that looks for **Products**, so any **Product** that gets assigned status of **Need translation** will automatically be selected for Translation.<br>

## Selection of Content

* Select a Product that is not already translated for your default target language, or edit the content for this Product.
* Select the Need translation radio button.
* Click Save.
* An Automatic Translation Job will be created (subject to polling interval set-up) and sent to Lionbridge Freeway

### Sending and Receiving translations from Lionbridge Freeway

* Your Automatic Translation Job will now be sent to Lionbridge and will display status of **Job Sent**.
* A Lionbridge Freeway ID will appear in the **Job ID** field.
* The Entities (Products etc) will have a status of **In** **Translation**.
* When Lionbridge Freeway picks up the job, it will update to **Work in progress**.

### **Importing Jobs**

When Lionbridge Freeway delivers the job back it will be **Imported automatically** and status will show as **Imported.**
