What is a Configuration Item?
A configuration item is any item – such as a menu or a block – that is not actually part of a node. Some configuration items – such as menus and blocks – need to be translated. Other configuration items – such as built-in interface and miscellaneous strings don’t.
How Do I Determine Which Configuration Items to Translate?
Designate which configuration items to translate (and ignore) from the Config Management tab. Go to Translation > Manage > Config.
- Place a check next to the menu item(s) you wish to translate.
- Under Actions, scroll to select Upload for translation.
- Once the item is uploaded, a red language icon will appear next to its title. Click the language icon to open the item in the workbench and complete its translation.
- Once the configuration items are translated, they can be downloaded to your website – manually or automatically (depending on your settings).
