Now you need to include the content that you wish to translate in your Draft job. To do this you can drag and drop the entities to the Translation Job.
Have the Translation Job open with the Includes tab selected.
In the left area, search or Query for the Entities to be translated
Drag the selected Entities to the job. They will be place in the relevant link section based on the type of entity.
Select the Details tab.
Select the Send for translation radio button at the bottom of the page.
Click Save.
Your Translation Job will be processed by the connector to include only files that need translation. This will take a few moments depending on the volume of content submitted.
Your 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, status will update to Work in progress.
When Lionbridge Freeway delivers the job back it will update to Job ready for import.
There are 2 options for importing your translations:
Note: When all the languages are delivered back, the status of the Translation Job will be "Job ready for import".
Open your Translation Job and select the "Details" tab.
In the "Action" section, select the "Import translation" radio button.
Click Save.
All languages will now be imported.
The "Translation Job" status will update to "Imported"
When a Translation Job is submitted, the connector creates a "Translation Task" entity per each target language. This allows each language to have it's own translation status.
This allows you to Import each language separately if required.
When a language is delivered back, the Translation Task status for that language will be "Ready for download"
You will find the Translation Tasks as child links to the Translation Job.
Open the Translation Job and select the Includes tab. Under Translation Tasks select the target language task that you wish to Import.
Select the Details tab and select the Import language radio button.
Click Save.
The language (Translation Task) you selected will now have a status of Imported.
If there were other languages that have not yet been Imported then the Translation Job status will remain as Job ready for import until all languages are imported.
The Entity(s) Status will remain as In translation until all languages have been Imported, then the status will be updated to Translated.
