Applying Translation Profiles (Drupal 7)

With translation profiles, you can invest resources into translating high value content while machine translating low value content. Different translation profiles can be applied to each type of content. For example,

• Professionally translate Menus and Field Labels.
• Post-edit translations for Articles and Basic Pages.
• Machine translate Customer Comments.

After creating a translation profile, go into the Translation Settings tab to decide which translation profile to apply to each type of content.
 

Articles and Basic Pages

To choose default translation settings for Articles and Basic Pages, go into the Translation Settings page and apply the appropriate translation profile.

1. Log into Drupal as an Administrator. 
2. From the Drupal admin menu, select Translation > Settings > Translate Nodes.
   1. Next to Article, scroll and select the translation profile you wish to use when translating Articles.
   2. Next to Basic Page, scroll and select the translation profile you wish to use when translating Basic Pages.
3. When you are ready, Save your work.

Once the profile is applied, requested translations will use the profile's default settings.

Comments

To choose default translation settings for Comments (posted to Articles and Basic Pages), go into the Translation Settings page and apply  the appropriate translation profile.

1. Log into Drupal as an Administrator. 
2. From the Drupal admin menu, select Translation > Settings > Translate Comments.
   1. Next to Article comment, scroll and select the translation profile you wish to use when translating Article comments.
   2. Next to Basic Page comment, scroll and select the translation profile you wish to use when translating Basic Page comments.
3. Save your work.

Once the profile is applied, requested translations will use the profile's default settings.

Configuration Items (e.g. Menus, Blocks, Taxonommy, etc.)

To choose default translation settings for Configuration Items (such as Menus, Blocks, Taxonomy, etc.), go into the Translation Settings page and choose a Enterprise Workflow and Project. This Project and Workflow will be used to translate all selected config items.

1. Log into Drupal as an Administrator. 
2. From the Drupal admin menu, select Translation > Settings > Translate Configuration.
   1. Check the box(es) next to the content you wish to translate.
   2. Scroll down. 
      1. Next to Default Project, select the project. 
      2. Next to Default Vault, select the vault to use for translation memory generated from translating config items.
3. When you are ready, Save your work.

Once the profile is applied, config items will use the default project and vault.
