Description

Upload for Translation
| When a Drupal node is uploaded for translation, it will be sent to Enterprise. Within the Enterprise interface, the linguist will be able to complete the node’s translation. Upload for Translation helps you manually choose which content to send to Enterprise for translation. Tip: If you wish to automate this step, create a Translation Profile. |
Download Completed Translations | Once a translation is complete, it can be downloaded back to Drupal. Tip: If you wish to automate this step, create a Translation Profile. |
Delete Content | If you uploaded content in error or if you need to remove testing content, use the Delete Content option to remove the node(s) from Drupal. Important: This delete feature will delete the node from Drupal; not just from the translation management system. |
Change Translation Profile | Apply a new translation profile to the selected content. Tip: A translation profile tells Enterprise whether to automate certain processes (such as translation upload/download). |
Check Progress of Translations | Click to refresh the page. Because translation statuses don’t automatically refresh, this option can be a time-saving way to check the status of the content of your choice. |
Disassociate Translations
| Use with caution – this utility breaks the connection between Enterprise content and Drupal content. You will be able to preserve your existing Enterprise translations, but your content will no longer be tracked in Enterprise. This means you will no longer get automatic notifications when content is updated (and needs re-translation). Contact support@lingotek.com for more information.
