Viewing and Reviewing Translated Jobs

When you monitor translation jobs, as described in Tracking Your Translation Job, you reload the page to retrieve status updates. This also automatically retrieves translated content from Lionbridge, once it is available.

After the Connector retrieves the translated content and saves it in Drupal, it is ready for review.

Depending on the Connector setup in Drupal TMGMT, you may need to approve translated content before it can be published. This is determined by the Auto accept finished translations setting in the Edit Provider page, as described in Adding Lionbridge as a Provider in Drupal TMGMT:

As soon as the translation job is finished, the provider status changes from Authorized to Translated, because Lionbridge has completed the translation job. In addition:

  • If the Auto accept finished translations check box is selected for the provider, the job state changes from In progress to Accepted. You can view these translations. For detailed instructions, see Viewing One Translated Job.

  • If the Auto accept finished translations check box is cleared for the provider, the job state changes from In progress to Needs review. In this scenario, you must review the translations and then accept or reject them. For detailed instructions, see Reviewing One Translated Job.

1 - Viewing One Translated Job

If the Auto accept finished translations check box is selected for the provider (the Connector), you can view translated content. However, you cannot modify it here, because it has been automatically accepted. For instructions on editing translated content, see Editing Translated Items.

To view the translation of one job:

  1. If the Job page is not already open: a. Select Translation > Jobs from the menu to open the Job overview page (Jobs tab) . b. Optional. Use the filter bar at the top of the page to locate the job to review. The job is in Accepted state. c. In the Operations column of the job to review, click Manage to open the Job page.

  2. In the Job Items section, in the Operations column, click View.

The View Translation page opens.

  • The Source fields on the left side display the source content.

  • The Translation fields on the right side display the translated content. In these examples, pseudo-translation is displayed instead of actual translated content.

The fields displayed here depend on the fields in the content type.

  1. When you are done, click Cancel to return to the Job page.

2 - Reviewing One Translated Job

If the Auto accept finished translations check box is cleared for the provider (the Connector), the translation requires review as part of the translation-management process.

To review the translation of one job:

  1. If the Job page is not already open: a. Select Translation > Jobs from the menu to open the Job overview page (Jobs tab) . b. Optional. Use the filter bar at the top of the page to locate the job to review. The job is in Translated state. c. In the Operations column of the job to review, click Manage to open the Job page.

  2. In the Job Items section, in the Operations column, click Review.

The Review Translation page opens.

  • The Source fields on the left side display the source content.
  • The Translation fields on the right side display the translated content. In these examples, pseudo-translation is displayed instead of actual translated content.

The fields displayed here depend on the fields in the content type.

  1. You can click in any field to modify the content.

  2. When you are done, click either Save or Save as completed:

    • Click Save to save your changes without completing your review of the translation.

    • Click Save as completed to save your changes and mark the translation as reviewed. This accepts the translation.

  3. If you clicked Save as completed, then the job state changes to Accepted, and in the Message box, there is a new message: The translation for <job-name> has been accepted as X. where X is an abbreviation of the translated content and a link to the translated content as a separate page. The translated items are saved in Drupal.

Tip: You can click the link to view the translated content in its own page.

Important: If you do not want to accept the translation, do not click Save as completed. The translation is not saved in Drupal. Drupal TMGMT does not support rejecting a translation job and sending it back to Lionbridge. You must sign into Freeway to reject the translation.
