    From the Drupal admin menu, select Translation > Manage.
  2. Click the check box next to the item(s) needing attention.
    Tip: To “Select All,” click the check box above the list of documents.

    Tip: Click a checkbox again to deselect it.
     
  3. In the Actions menu, scroll to select the action you would like to run (e.g. Upload/Download, Delete, etc.). Explanation will follow.
     
  4. A dialog will appear. Complete the dialog and then click the button to the left to run the action.
    Tip: Close the dialog or click Cancel to forgo the action.


Action Descriptions

Each action is explained below.

 

Action

 

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.
Use Download Completed Translations to manually post selected content 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.


 

(warning) Caution

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).
