Localization roles for Virtual Agent

Assign localization roles according to a user's scope in the localization process. Users may request translations, fulfill translation requests, and edit translations, based on their role.

The localization process follows this basic flow:

1. Topics are developed and released in the source language (for example, English).
2. Topics are translated, either by request or by editing them directly in Virtual Agent Designer.

   If you are using NLU models, the models must be translated as well. For more information about that process, see Multilingual model management.

3. Translations are tested and published.

Virtual Agent role privileges vary with the user's function in this process. These roles are also defined in the Localization Framework. For more information, see Localization Framework roles.

To learn more about managing subscriptions, see Managing per-user subscriptions in Subscription Management and contact your account representative.

Virtual Agent admin permissions

The Virtual Agent admin role contains the localization requestor and localization editor roles by default. Users can do the following:

• Request translations
• View existing translated content
• Unlock and edit translated content (unless translation is in process)

The localization task is not available to this user.

Localization fulfiller permissions

The localization fulfiller role may not have Virtual Agent privileges. In that case, the user would only have access to assigned Localization Framework tasks.

If a Virtual Agent admin has the localization fulfiller role, the Manage languages page lets the user view the localization task that was created.
