Connector Workflow States

  2 minute read  

The sitecore/System/Workflows/Lionbridge Sample Workflow workflow contains all required states for the Connector translation management process.

By default, it has the following seven states, which are listed, in order, below. Your company can modify this translation workflow to meet your business requirements. Your company can also create your own translation workflow, removing some of these states or adding additional states as required.

Workflow State	Relevant for Source Content	Relevant for Target Content
Editing	ü
Reviewing	ü
Sending for Translation	ü
In Translation		ü
Editing Translated Version		ü
Reviewing Translated Version		ü
Done	ü	ü

Note: Only content in the Done state is publishable.

Source content

A source content item can move through the workflow in several different ways, depending on the configuration, which depends on your company’s translation processes:

Example 1

Editing > Reviewing > Sending for Translation > Done

Example 2

Editing > Reviewing > Sending for Translation > Reviewing > Done

Target content

Similarly, a target content item can move through the workflow in several different ways, depending on the configuration, which depends on your company’s translation processes:

Example

In Translation > Editing Translated Version > Reviewing Translated Version > Done

Note: When the state of a target content item is In Translation, that content is a copy of the source language item. Users can use the In Translation and Editing Translated Version workflow states to keep track of which translations have returned and which are still pending.
