Setting up the Pre-translation feature
Once the pre-translation tab is enabled, you will need to properly set up the pre-translation with your workflow.
To set up the pre-translation feature, perform the following:
Select the Project Workflow tab from the project summary page.
From the Pre-translation Notification list box, select the team or person who will be notified when a document is uploaded to pre-translation, and then click Save.
Note: The team or person selected will automatically be notified every time a document is uploaded into pre-translation.
Select the Settings tab.
Under the Document Options section, select the file types that you want to require pre-translation, and then click Save.
You can select one of the following options:
Don’t allow – disable pre-translation for all files
Any file – files that cannot go through the regular workflow or cannot go through an importer are sent to pre-translation
Specific files – only the specified file types are sent to pre-translation
Notes:
You can specify multiple file types.
When a specific file that is accepted by the importer is chosen, you can force the file to go into the pre-translation queue.
For example:
*.po files are automatically sent to the importer, however, if a *.po file is specified in the "Specific files" option, then it will go to pre-translation for that project instead.Any file that is uploaded in the project that matches the file types specified will be automatically placed under the Pre-translation tab.
The following file types are supported by the importer:
catkeys | cpp | csv | dita | ditamap | doc | docx | dtd | html | icml | idml | indd | json | lang | md | mif | odg | odp | ods | odt | pdf | po | ppt | pptx | properties | rdf | regex | resx | rtf | sdlxlf | srt | strings | tmx | ts | tsv | ttx | txml | txt | vsdx | wix | xlf | xlf2 | xls | xlsx | xml | yml | zip
When a file is in pre-translation, the localization process will occur wherein a translatable source file is created and uploaded. Once the translatable source file is uploaded, a new document is created under the Documents tab and the file that is associated with it in the Pre-translation tab will be attached as a reference file, and then the document will go through your regular translation process.
