    • Enable the Localization Framework by setting the glide.knowman.translation.enable_lf_article_translation system property to true.
    • Set the glide.knowman.translation.enable_translation_task system property to false.
    • Set the glide.knowman.translation.enable_localization_framework system property to true.
