# Entity Translation Status

Once the Connector is installed, each Entity now has an "**In Translation**" and a "**Translated**" field. The Connector modifies these values once they are sent for translation as part of a **Translation Job**.

An Entity can display each language in only one of these fields at a time.

### In Translation

Before an Entity is sent for translation the **In** **Translation** value will appear as "**(not set)**". This shows that the Entity is not currently *in* translation for any language.

Once an Entity has been sent for translation as part of a **Translation Job**, the **In** **Translation** field will now display the **languages** that it is currently in translation for.

If an Entity has no fields that require sending for translation for a language in a multi-language **Translation Job**, then it will not show **that** language in the **In Translation** field.

If an Entity was already **Translated** for a language and it is now Sent as part of a new **Translation Job**, then as it is not possible to have a status of both **Translated** and **In Translation** status simultaneously then the Language will only appear in the **In Translation** but will no longer appear in the **Translated** field

### Translated

The **Translated** field will display the languages that the Entity was translated for via the Lionbridge Connector.

When a Translation Job is Imported, then any Entity that was translated as part of that Translation Job, will now display the languages that it was actually translated for in the **Translated** field and the corresponding language will no longer appear in the **In Translation** field.

**Note** - This is a visual display feature and only records the languages that were translated via the connector. It will not display languages where you have manually inserted translations for or were translated prior to the Connector. 

### **Linked Entities.**

If you have configured to have linked Entities be sent for translation, then the linked entity will also have **In** **Translation**/**Translated** statuses applied.

If a **Product** is included in a **Translation Job** and has linked entities, like **Items**, then the Connector assesses what fields of the **Item** require translation and if any translation is required then the Item will have the language shown in the **In Translation** field. Even if there are no fields in the Product requiring translation and so the **Product** itself does not get any languages showing in the **In Translation** field, the **Item** will show the languages as **In Translation** if it has any fields requiring translation.
