Understanding the Send Dependent Items Check Box
2 minute read
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.
