Description

Always Update TM using latest target version

This determines which target version the Connector uses to send to update a remote TM (translation memory) server.

If this check box is cleared (default value), then the Connector always sends the target version that is the translation to the remote TM server. If the target version was edited post translation, then the Connector sends the version from the translation provider to the remote TM server.
If this check box is selected, then the Connector always sends the latest available target version to the remote TM server. If the target version was edited post translation, then the Connector sends this update of the translation to the remote TM server.

10 - Job Metadata Settings

Configuring Job-Metadata Settings

You can which, if any, user information the Connector includes as job metadata when it sends out jobs for translation. You can configure the Connector to include the following job metadata:

the name of the logged-in Sitecore user who creates the translation job
the email address of the logged-in Sitecore user who creates the translation job

By default, the Connector does not include either the name or the email address of the logged-in Sitecore user who creates the translation job. However, you can configure the Connector to include either or both of these.

Tip: Including the name and email address in the job metadata facilitates communication with the translation provider.

To configure which job metadata to include:

In the Content Editor, in the content tree, navigate to /sitecore/system/Settings/Lionbridge Settings/Lionbridge Connector Settings/.
Click the Lionbridge Connector Settings item to select it and open it in the content area.
Scroll down to the Job metadata section.

Specify the following option:

Option	Description
Send out email of job creator	This determines whether the email address of the Sitecore user is included in the job metadata that the Connector sends to the translation provider. This feature supports the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. * If this check box is cleared (default value), then the Connector does not include the user’s email address in the job metadata. * If this check box is selected, then the Connector includes the logged-in Sitecore user’s email address as job metadata.

11 - Sitecore User for Connector Background Processes

You can specify the Sitecore user that the Connector uses to run its background processes. This user will be displayed as the user who modified an item’s target version.

Note: If you do not configure this feature, the Connector uses the Anonymous user.

To configure the Sitecore user for Connector processes:

In the Content Editor, in the content tree, navigate to the /sitecore/system/Settings/Lionbridge Settings/Lionbridge Connector Settings item.

Tip: Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings folder to locate the Lionbridge Settings sub-folder.

Click the Lionbridge Connector Settings item in the folder to select it and open it in the content area.

12 - Send Dependent Items Check Box

There are multiple places to configure the behavior of the Send Dependent Items check box, which is displayed in:

the Choose Items page of the Bulk Translation wizard
the Automatic Item Export for Translation dialog box

For a description of the default behavior of this check box, see Understanding the Send Dependent Items Check Box.

Setting	Where to Configure	For Details, See…
* include dependent items based on item template * exclude dependent items based on item path * include branches of dependent items	the Sitecore user interface	Configuring the Behavior of the Send Dependent Items Check Box in the Sitecore User Interface
develop your own pipeline to determine which dependent items the Connector sends for translation when this check box is selected	the Website_root/ Website/App_Config/ Include/ CT3Translation.config configuration file	Configuring the Behavior of the Send Dependent Items Check Box in the Configuration File

12.1 - Configuring the Behavior of the Send Dependent Items Check Box in the Configuration File

The Send Dependent Items check box is displayed in:

the Choose Items page of the Bulk Translation wizard
the Automatic Item Export for Translation dialog box

By default, if the Send Dependent Items check box is selected, the Connector sends out data source items from the layout and final layout of the item itself. For a detailed illustration and scenarios of the default behavior of the Send Dependent Items check box, see Understanding the Send Dependent Items Check Box.

Alternatively, you can develop your own pipeline to determine which dependent items the Connector sends for translation when this check box is selected. You configure this pipeline in the <pipelines> section of the Website_root/Website/App_Config/Include/CT3Translation.config configuration file. If the Send Dependent Items check box is selected and the pipeline is defined, then when you run the Bulk Translation wizard:

The Connector calls the pipeline for each selected item.
On its own, the pipeline finds dependent items recursively.

Important: The pipeline overrides the default Connector behavior of sending out only data source items of the item itself. The Connector does not call the pipeline again using a dependent item as a source for recursively searching for additional dependent items.

The Connector adds the results to the list of items to send out for translation.

To develop a pipeline:

Insert the logic to recursively determine all dependent items of an item to send out for translation, similar to the following example:

<!-- Insert the logic to recursively determine all dependent items of an item to send out for translation.

–>

</CustomRecursiveDependentItemsPipeline>

Ensure that the processor method has the following signature:

public void getDependentItems(ClayTablet.SC.Pipelines.DependentItemsPipelineArgs args);

Use the args parameter to retrieve information about a source item. You will search for dependent items of this source:

public class DependentItemsPipelineArgs {

String ItemDatabase { get; }

String ItemId { get; }

String SourceLanguage { get; }

String SourceVersion { get; }

String[] TargetLanguages { get; }

List<String> DependentItems { get; }

}

Insert the item IDs of all dependent items of the source item into the DependentItems that the pipeline returns.

12.2 - Configuring the Behavior of the Send Dependent Items Check Box in the Sitecore User Interface

The Send Dependent Items check box is displayed in:

the Choose Items page of the Bulk Translation wizard
the Automatic Item Export for Translation dialog box

You can configure the Connector to exclude dependent content items by their paths or templates if the Send Dependent Items check box is selected.

To configure the behavior of the Send Dependent Items check box:

In the Content Editor, in the content tree, navigate to /sitecore/system/Settings/Lionbridge Settings/Lionbridge Connector Settings/.
Click the Lionbridge Connector Settings item to select it and open it in the content area.
Scroll down to the Dependent items section.

Specify one or more of the following options:

Option	Description
Templates	Enter the ID of each template whose content items you want to include as dependent items, if the Send Dependent Items check box is selected. Separate multiple template IDs with a pipe ( \| ). If this field is blank, then all templates are included. Tip: The template ID is located in the Item ID field of the Quick Info section of the template.
Excluded Paths	Enter the paths of content items you want to exclude as dependent items, if the Send Dependent Items check box is selected. Separate multiple paths with a pipe ( \| ).
Include children of dependent items	Select this check box to automatically include branches under dependent items. Note: This setting applies only to items not excluded by the Templates or Excluded Paths fields, described above.

Click the Save button in the top-left corner to save your changes.

12.3 - Understanding the Send Dependent Items Check Box

The Send Dependent Items check box is displayed in:

the Choose Items page of the Bulk Translation wizard
the Automatic Item Export for Translation dialog box

The following diagram and scenarios illustrate which data sources the Send Dependent Items check box sends to translation by default.

Note: The behavior of the Send Dependent Items check box is configurable. For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the Lionbridge Connector for Sitecore Installation and Configuration Guide.

Scenario 1

When sending the single item /sitecore/content/home/pages/page 1 for translation:

/sitecore/content/home/pages/page 1 is included as the item
/sitecore/content/home/partials/about us is included as the dependent item
/sitecore/content/home/components/component 2 is included as the dependent item of the dependent item

Children of about us and component 2are not included, because these are not dependent items of dependent items: rather, they are children of dependent items.

Scenario 2

When sending the single item /sitecore/content/home/pages/page 2 for translation:

/sitecore/content/home/pages/page 2 is included as the item
/sitecore/content/home/components/component 2 is included as the dependent item

Children of component 2are not included, because these are not dependent items of dependent items: rather, they are children of dependent items.

Scenario 3

When sending the branch /sitecore/content/home/pages for translation:

/sitecore/content/home/pages/page 1 is included as the item
/sitecore/content/home/partials/about us is included as the dependent item
/sitecore/content/home/components/component 2 is included as the dependent item of the dependent item
/sitecore/content/home/pages/page 2 is included as the item
/sitecore/content/home/pages/page 3 is included as the item
/sitecore/content/home/pages/page 4 is included as the item

Children of component 2are not included, because the branch of /sitecore/content/home/pages is sent for translation: the branch of component 2 is not sent for translation.
