Importing languages separately 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. ![Translation Tasks included in a Translation job](/files/dVbaqgUwQLsRGcu7knuX) * Select the **Details** tab and select the **Import language** radio button. * Click **Save.** ![Importing a language](/files/kAkHwne2KzuFcGozWhX6) * 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**. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
