Sending Content for Translation
You use the Connector to send out localized attributes, including keywords, of business objects in the Administration Cockpit, the Product Cockpit and the WCMS Cockpit (Hybris versions 6.1 to 6.6 only), and the Backoffice Cockpit, specifically products and website pages, for translation.

Note: In all supported versions of Hybris, you can also send website pages for translation from the Hybris Backoffice. For detailed instructions, see Sending Website Pages for Translation from the Hybris Backoffice.
You use the Connector to send out website pages (“pages”) for translation from the Hybris WCMS Cockpit.
When the Connector sends out pages for translation, it actually sends out the configured localized attributes of the content in that page for translation.
Each localized attribute of a business object that is sent out for translation is a content item.
Note: Although you can view non-localized attributes and select them to send them out for translation, the Connector does not actually send out non-localized attributes for translation.
Note: You configure which business objects and corresponding localized attributes you can send out for translation in the Content Mapping page. For detailed instructions, refer to the Lionbridge Connector for SAP Commerce Installation and Configuration Guide.

8 - Sending Items for Translation from the Translation Queue
The goal of the Translation Queue is to control translation costs and the translation process. This design assumes that the person with the authority to send content for translation from the Translation Queue manages the translation budget of the organization.
You can send out one, multiple, or all items from the Translation Queue at one time.
You originally submitted items to the Translation Queue by doing one of the following:
- in the Job Type page of the Send to translation wizard in the SAP Commerce Backoffice Product Cockpit, clicking the Add to Queue radio button. For details, see: Sending Products for Translation from SAP Commerce or SAP Commerce Cloud.
- in the Job Type page of the Send to translation wizard in the Hybris Backoffice Product Cockpit, clicking the Add to Queue radio button. For details, see: Sending Products for Translation from the Hybris Backoffice Product Cockpit (Hybris 6.4 and higher).
- in the Job Type page of the Send to translation wizard opened from the Hybris Backoffice Products Page, clicking the Add to Queue radio button. For details, see: Sending Products for Translation from the Hybris Backoffice Products Page.
- in the first page of the Send selection to translation wizard in the Hybris Product Cockpit, clicking the Add to Translation Queue radio button. For details, see: Sending Products for Translation from the Hybris Product Cockpit (Hybris 6.1 to 6.6).
- in the Job Type page of the Send to translation wizard opened from the Page page in SAP Commerce or SAP Commerce Cloud. clicking the Add to Queue radio button. For details, see: Sending Website Pages for Translation from SAP Commerce or SAP Commerce Cloud.
- in the Job Type page of the Send to translation wizard opened from the Page page in the Hybris Backoffice. clicking the Add to Queue radio button. For details, see: Sending Website Pages for Translation from the Hybris Backoffice.
- in the first page of the Send selection to translation wizard in the Hybris WCMS Cockpit, clicking the Add to Translation Queue radio button. For details, see: Sending Website Pages for Translation from the Hybris WCMS Cockpit (Hybris 6.1 to 6.6).
Submitting content to the Translation Queue before sending it out for translation has the following advantages:
- You may not want to send out the localized attributes in each business object individually as soon as you finish reviewing it. The Translation Queue facilitates your management of reviewed items, so that you do not forget about sending individual reviewed items for translation.
- Your translation provider may prefer receiving fewer but larger batches of items to translate, rather than items from individual business objects, as it facilitates project preparation, resource assignment, and content analysis.
- If you want to translate many items into multiple languages, but you want to translate into only one target language at a time, this is a good way to manage that process.
- The Translation Queue manager may want to route jobs to certain translation providers.
- The Translation Queue manager may want to add job-specific metadata, such as a purchase order number.
If you or your colleagues have sent items to the Translation Queue, you must access the Translation Queue to send out the items from there.
Note: If you do not send out items from the Translation Queue, the items remain in the queue, and the Connector does not send them out for translation.
To submit one or more items from the Translation Queue for translation:
- Do one of the following:
- In your Web browser, navigate to /backoffice/ on your Hybris instance.
- Log in to the Hybris Backoffice.
- In the Administration menu, select Translation Queue.

- Item Name: The name of the business object to send for translation. If the name is long, this wraps to the next row.
- Source Language: The name and language code of the source language of the business object to send for translation. This was specified when the business object was added to the queue.
- Target Language: The name and language code of the target language into which to translate the business object.
Note: If you specified translating a business object into multiple target languages, then each instance of a source language-target language pair is displayed in a separate row in the list, as a separate item. For example, if you want to translate a business object into five languages, then there are five rows in the list, one for each target language.
- Date Added: The date the business object was added to the queue, in the following format: MM/DD/YYYY.
The header and footer display information about how many items are in the queue, and how they are displayed. If there are more than 25 items in the queue, they are displayed in multiple sub-pages.
