Entity Translation Status
This page details the Translation Status of your Entities when sent for translation
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.
