This tab displays each content item in the job on a separate row.

This window displays the following information about each content item in the job:
Column | Description |
---|---|
Job Name | The name of the translation job. |
Item Path | The path and name of the content item sent for translation. Tip: If the translation is complete, click the link to view the translated version of the content item in a pop-up window. |
Media | This file is a binary asset, such as a .jpg or .pdf file. |
Is Reference | This file is a reference file (support asset), which provides helpful context for the translator. |
Use Local TM | Allows you to reduce translation costs, by reducing the quantity of content that Connector sends to translation providers. With this feature, the Connector sends only changed content fields out for translation. To do this, it checks each field of the source version for any content changes. |
Source Language | The Connector language code for the source language of the content item sent for translation. This is the original language of the content item. The number is the incremental version number of the source content item. |
Target Language | The Connector language code for the target language into which to translate the content item. Each target language is displayed in a separate row. The number is the incremental version number of the target content item. If the target (translated) version of an item is not the latest version, then:
|
Word Count | The estimated number of words in the content item. It may be different from the word count calculated by translation provider. If the word count is unknown, or if the content items are in jobs sent for translation with version 4.0.8 or earlier of the Connector, this column is blank. The Total column footer displays the total estimated number of words in all displayed content items. |
Provider Ref | The Lionbridge Freeway project ID. Displayed only when the translation provider is Lionbridge Freeway. |
Status | The translation status of the content item. For a list and description of translation statuses, see Translation Statuses. If an error has occurred, the status is displayed in red. To view details about the error in the translation process, click the error icon . A message box opens, displaying identifying information and the error message. |
Encrypted | Indicates whether or not the content item has been encrypted. Displayed only if encryption is enabled for your company. For more information, refer to the Lionbridge Connector for Sitecore Installation and Configuration Guide. |
Created | The date and time that this job was created, in the format matching the Regional ISO Code specified your user profile. |
Updated | The date and time when the content item was sent to the translation provider, in the format matching the Regional ISO Code specified in your user profile. |
Target Last Modified Time | The date and time the target (translated) content item was last updated, in the format matching the Regional ISO Code specified in your user profile. |
Percent | The percentage of the content item that has been translated, which is based on the translation status. For details, see Translation Statuses. Tip: To view identifying information about this item, click the percentage. This information is useful when contacting Lionbridge Connector Support. For example, if your translation is delayed but an error is not displayed, this information can help Lionbridge Connector Support determine the reason for the delay. |
