Welcome to Lingotek/Drupal Administrator Training! This training checklist includes key tasks you will need in your day to day work, and follows the translation from request to processing to publishing.

The purpose of this exercise is to solidify concepts and give the chance to work with the system and address any questions that may arise. As you complete the tasks below, please feel free to ask questions.
 

Setting Up (Lingotek)

• Add a new user. Hint.
  Tip: Be sure to give appropriate permissions to the user. 
  Tip: Users cannot be deleted (only reassigned). When adding users, try to create legitimate accounts.
   
• Create and upload a Translation Memory. (Use this file). Hint.
• Create and upload a Glossary. (Use this file). Hint.
  
         Extra Credit: Create a glossary in an Excel file.
   
• Create three Workflows. Hint.
  • One called Machine Translate Only
  • One called Machine Translate + Human Translate
  • One called Leverage+Translate+Review
     
• Configure Each Workflow (instructions provided). Hint.
   Important. Be sure to add the Glossary and TM Vault when you configure the workflow.
   Important. In the workflow, be sure to use the same TM vault for the TM Leverage step and for the Save to Vault (under the Document Settings).
  
  
• Add an Email Notification to the Leverage+Translate+Review workflow. (Create Rule, Create Email).
        Extra Credit: Using a variable, pull the Document Name into the email. 
  
  
• Turn Off "Mark complete when 100%" on each workflow. Hint.
   
• Create 3 Test Projects (one for each workflow). Hint.
  • • One called Machine Translate Only
    • One called Machine Translate + Human Translate
    • One called Leverage+Translate+Review
    • Tip: These names are for testing purposes only. Projects can be created 
      
      
• Set up Each Project. Hint.
  • • Go into each project and set it up.
      • Go into the project and add a workflow. (Use the workflow that corresponds to the project's name).
      • Select target languages and enter other key information.

Once the project is set up, it can be used on a Drupal Translation Profile. The Translation Profile will help you add Drupal content to a Lingotek project.

Create a Page (Drupal)

Log into Drupal and create a new page. Paste in the following HTML. (This content is included in the sample translation memory file).

<div align="center">
<h1>About Lingotek</h1>
</div>

Setting Up (Drupal)

Within Drupal, a Translation Profile connects Drupal content with Lingotek projects. The Translation Profile spells out which translation settings to use on which Drupal content.

After setting up Lingotek's settings, you will be ready to create a Translation Profile.

1. Create Translation Profiles. Hint.

Log into Drupal as an administrator and create three Translation Profiles. Create one Translation Profile for each Lingotek Project. 

• • Create one called Machine Translate Only
  • Create one called Machine Translate + Human Translate
  • Create one called Leverage+Translate+Review

(Tip: Naming conventions are for testing purposes only. Projects, Workflows and Translation Profiles can have different names if desired).

2. Upload / Download Automatically. Hint.
In the profile, choose whether to upload/download automatically.

• • Use Automatic upload/download for the Machine Translation Only workflow.
  • Use Manual upload/download for any workflow using Human Translation.
    
    

3. Apply Translation Profiles. Hint.
After creating the translation profiles, apply them to the appropriate content.

• • Open the Translation Settings page. After thinking about how you wish to handle translations, apply a translation profile to each content type. Apply a translation profile to

    • Translate Nodes

    • Translate Comments

    • Translate Configuration

4. Request Translations. Hint.
After applying translation profiles, go to the Translation Management tab and request translation for your content.

• • Request translation for a single node.
  • Request translation for several nodes.
  • Create a new page. Request its translation (use the checkbox and drop-down menu).
  • Create a new article. Request its translation (use the checkbox and drop-down menu).
  • Create new content and send up for translation (MT & Human).
    
    

Managing Translations (TMS)

After requesting the translations, you will be ready to assign the documents for translation.

• Assign Translations. Hint.
  Go into each project and assign the document(s) for translation. Practice using the bulk selection feature to assign multiple documents.
   
• Complete Translations. Hint.
  From the project, click a document link to to open it in the workbench and complete the translation. 
  (Tip: copy and paste in Machine Translations). 
  Be sure to mark the document as complete.

Monitoring Progress (TMS)

Log into the TMS and check the translation progress.

• Open Each Project. Check its status. Hint.
  • (Machine Translate Only,   Machine Translate + Human Translate,   Leverage+Translate+Review)
    • Make sure the right content is being pulled in.
    • Check to see how translations are progressing.
    • Open a document to see progress for individual target languages.
      
      

Completed Translations (Drupal)

View completed translations. Hint.

• Once translations are complete, check Drupal to ensure translations were downloaded as expected.
