Requesting translations in Localization Workspace

Create and submit translation requests in Localization Workspace. Generate informational cost estimates for review before submitting the request.

Overview of creating translation requests

As a localization requester, you can create translation requests for multiple content types into multiple languages, all in one interface.

You can save or modify a translation request before submitting it. When you submit the translation request, Localization Workspace creates and packages a project in Localization Framework. Creating the project might take several minutes depending on the number of documents. When the project is ready, Localization Workspace sends the translation request to your third-party service providers, so you can't cancel a translation request after submitting it.

On the Localization Workspace home page, the Request Translation button opens a wizard displaying a four-step process.
