To start and complete the translation process:

  1. Select the source(s) you would like to have translated. 
    1. Simply click on the source tile of the content you would like to translate and it will immediately begin the uploading process.


       
      1. Select some or all of your content using the boxes to the far left and you will notice that the selected content type in your Content Selector has become a drop-down. Select the drop-down and choose Upload.



      2. You will notice that the status of those documents will change to Importing.

  2. You can check on the progress of the document upload by selecting the documents you uploaded and then selecting refresh icon in the header. Alternatively, you can select the source tile and a drop-down will appear where you can select refresh. 

  3. Once the Source status has changed to Current, you can start to request translations.



    Do not request translations before the status of the document is Current. If you do this the target request will fail and cause complications. If you did request the target before the source completed uploading, you can fix this by deleting the translation and reuploading it after the source becomes current. 

  4. Request translations in three ways:
    1. Select the translation tile that represents the language code you want the source translated into. It will immediately start the translation process for that target. 
    2. To bulk request one target language across multiple sources:
      1. Select the rows you want translated.
      2. Open the Bulk Actions drop-down.
      3. Select the Request Translations option. 
      4. This will open a drop-down where you can select one target language.
    3.  To bulk request all target languages across multiple sources. 
      1. Select the rows you want translated.
      2. Open the Bulk Actions drop-down.
      3. Select the Request All Translations option. 



  5. Depending on your workflow and translation profile, the Translations will go through multiple statuses before they are ready to be downloaded/viewed.
    1. If your Marketplace settings require you to manually download your content, you can do so when the status of the target becomes Ready
    2. Once your target is in the Current status you can click on the translation's tile and select the View option. This will allow open the translated content in a new page.



  6. Your third-party application will display the newly translated files with the language code in parenthesis at the end of the original file name. 

    Do not edit the language code in the file name since it prevents translated files from displaying in the extension in the future.
