About this task

Your translation request can bundle multiple target languages and multiple content types. Each language in the request can include different target documents.

Note:

In the Australia release, only requests from English into non-English target languages are supported. Requests from non-English source languages are not supported.

The following procedure covers step one of four steps in the Translation Request wizard.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Localization Workspace > Home.
2. Select Request Translation to open the wizard.
   The Translation request wizard opens at the first step, Languages.
3. In the Short Description field, enter a name for the translation request.
   The Short Description is displayed in the My Requests list on the Home screen, so you can find and monitor your request later. For information see Localization Workspace Home and translation job status.
4. Select target languages or language groups according to the following guidance.

   Option	Description
   Language	To select an individual language: In the Target language field, select an available language from the drop-down list. In the Translation provider field, select a name from the list of providers available for the language you chose. You can add more than one language to a request.
   Groups	When you select a check box for a language group, the Target language and Translation provider fields auto-populate. You can add more than one language group to a translation request. After you add a language group to request, you can manually delete individual languages from it. Deletion in the wizard applies only to this request; the definition of the language group doesn't change. You can include a mix of language groups and individual languages in one request. If a language is included multiple times in one request, Localization Workspace clears the value of the Translation provider field. You must then manually select the desired Translation provider for that language.

5. Optional: Add another language by selecting the plus icon , or add another language group by selecting its check box.
6. Optional: Select Save.
   A saved translation request has a status of Draft in the My Requests list on the Home screen.
7. Select the Next button to proceed to the Types step of translation request creation.

What to do next

Advance to the next step in the wizard, Types, to select content for translation.
