## Summary of Workflows in the Localization Framework

Workflows in the Localization Framework, configured within the Settings table, define the step-by-step process a localization task follows.
These workflows encompass stages like approval, translation, and publishing.
Each workflow can be tailored per language and artifact on your ServiceNow instance, allowing you to manage how localization tasks are handled efficiently.

## Key Features

* **Configurable Workflow Paths:** Enables custom sequences for localization tasks, including manual or automatic translation, approval stages, and publishing methods.
* **Group Assignments:** Different roles such as Localization Fulfiller, Translation Approver, Business Approver, and Auto Translation Mode are assigned to manage specific steps, ensuring proper task ownership and control.
* **Translation Modes:** Supports manual translation and various auto-translation modes, selectable based on your organization's needs.
* **Approval Steps:** Optional business and translation approval stages can be included to maintain quality and governance over localized content.
* **Publishing Options:** Tasks can be published manually or automatically following translation and approval, providing flexibility in deployment timing.

## Practical Workflow Examples

* **Translation → Publish:** Manual or mode-based translation followed by manual publishing. Requires Localization Fulfiller group.
* **Translation → Translation Approval → Auto Publish:** Translation, approval, then automatic publishing. Requires Localization Fulfiller and Translation Approver groups.
* **Auto Translation → Translation Approval → Auto Publish:** Auto-translation followed by approval and auto-publishing. Requires Localization Fulfiller, Translation Approver groups, and selection of Auto Translation Mode.
* **Business Approval → Translation → Publish:** Business approval first, then translation, and manual publishing. Requires Business Approver and Localization Fulfiller groups.
* **Business Approval → Auto Translation → Translation Approval → Auto Publish:** Business approval, followed by auto-translation, approval, and auto-publishing. Requires Business Approver, Localization Fulfiller, Translation Approver groups, and Auto Translation Mode.

## What This Enables You to Do

By configuring these workflows, you gain precise control over localization processes, ensuring that translations meet business and quality standards before being published. You can automate translation and publishing steps where appropriate to expedite delivery, or enforce manual approvals to maintain oversight. This flexibility helps streamline localization management tailored to your organizational requirements.  
Workflows in the Settings table define the process for a localization task, including steps for approval and methods for translating and publishing.

## Overview of workflows in the Settings table of Localization Framework {#workflow-localization-framework__section_ffw_ng3_q3c}

You can configure the path you want your localization task to follow, with available steps for approval, translation, and publishing. You can define these workflows for each language and artifact configured on your instance.
