While the process of starting a translation differs slightly (see Section 4.7.3.3.2, “Translation to Derived Sites” and Section 4.7.3.3.3, “Translation to Preferred Site”) the actions you may perform while translating contents are always the same. Once the translation workflow detail panel opens (Figure 4.101, “Translation workflow detail panel”), you have several options:
You decide that the content needs no translation (see the section called “Reject Changes”)
You want to translate the content manually in Studio (see the section called “Manually translate the content”)
You want to translate the content with a translation memory system using XLIFF (see the section called “Translating the Content with XLIFF”)
Reject Changes
The translation of the offered content is not needed for this site. By rejecting the translation, content that has been created automatically by the translation workflow will be deleted.
Select the Reject Changes checkbox and click [Apply]
Manually translate the content
Double click the content that you want to translate. It opens in the master side-by-side view (see the section called “Master Side-by-Side View”). Fields that need translation are highlighted with a green border.
Start to translate the content.
When you are done with the translation, select Finish Content Localization and click [Apply] .
The translation workflow is finished. The master versions of the translated contents will be set to the current version of their masters automatically.
Translating the Content with XLIFF
The XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) is a standard format for translations with translation memory systems. With CoreMedia DXP 8 you can export and import content as XLIFF files.
Export the content as an XLIFF file by clicking the button Download an XLIFF file in the Content list of the translation workflow detail panel.
The file will be stored in the download folder of your system.
Now, send the XLIFF file to your translation agency or translate it with your in-house system.
Depending on your review process you might now either choose to wait and keep the translation workflow assigned to yourself or you might consider to choose Send to Translation Service and click [Apply] . In this case a new task, a review task, will be created which is offered to all responsible site managers. Thus after the results of the translation service are available anyone might take the task and continue the workflow as stated below.
When you have finished the translation, import the XLIFF file again as described in the section called “Importing an XLIFF file”.
When you have imported the XLIFF file select Finish Content Localization and click [Apply] .
Importing an XLIFF file
Importing a translated XLIFF file is quite easy. Simply proceed as follows:
Open the upload dialog from the Create Content menu (see Section 4.4.1.6, “Uploading Files”) or click the Upload files icon in the Library. The upload dialog opens.
Drag the XLIFF file into the upload dialog and press [OK] .
The imported content item opens after the import is completed. A pop-up window displays issues that may have occurred during the import.
Master Side-by-Side View
Similar to the version comparison view (see Section 4.6.2, “Comparing Versions”) CoreMedia Studio also provides a master side-by-side view for the translation process. The read-only side of the side-by-side view shows the master content item and highlights the differences between the latest translated version and a version of your choice. If opened directly from the translation workflow detail panel, the version to be translated is preselected.
The view offers all the elements known from the version comparison view like the list of changed fields, the version selector, and change highlighting.
The master side-by-side view can only be opened for content items that have a master content item defined.
Figure 4.102, “Side-by-Side view” shows a content item in German side by side with the English master content item. The master item is grayed out, because you can only edit the depending version.
Opening the Side-by-Side View
There are two ways to enter the master side-by-side view:
By clicking the Compare contents icon.
By double clicking the content in the translation workflow detail panel.
Closing the Side-by-Side View
Click the Compare contents icon again in order to close the master content item.
