The TMS GUID Config page opens.

Note: A GUID is a Globally Unique Identifier, which is a unique reference number used as an identifier in software.

  1. Click Add in the top-right corner of the page and enter the following information about your configuration:
Column Description
Config Name Your meaningful name for the TMS configuration, for example, Default GUID.
TMS GUID Each translation provider can have multiple configurations, so that it can manage multiple sets of translation requirements, Each configuration in the provider’s system has its own GUID.

  • A single value, such as MT (for machine translation) or HT (for human translation).
  • A paired value, which is a value-title pair, with the -|- separator, for example 1-|-HT, where 1 is the value stored in a custom page property, while HT is the value displayed in the Globalization Tool.

This value will be stored in a custom page property that you create. For instructions, see Creating a Page Property to Store Custom Translation-Status Values.
