Finding Translatable Items in a Project Instance

Note: You may see that some projects are labeled Independent and some are labeled Collaborative. When you translate, Collaborative projects should take priority.

  1. To open the individual translatable items in a project instance, click on the Project Name of the appropriate project instance.
    The Translation List page opens, displaying a list of the individual items within that project instance that need translation.  (what to call this page?)
  2. To filter this list to show only items of a certain status, select the criteria (Translated, Needs translation to English, and/or Needs translation to Japanese) in the Show box and click SHOW.
    The list displays, showing the Item ID number, Type, and Translation Status.
  3. To select an item for viewing or translation or to change its status, click on the Item ID number.
    The Project Item page displays. (what to call this page?)

Translating and Changing the Status of a Translation

When you open a translatable item, you will see a screen with the current text of the item on one side and fields for translations on the opposite side.

  1. To change the status of an item, select the appropriate radio button: Translated, Needs Translation to English, or Needs Translation to Japanese.
    Note: If the status of an item is marked as needing translation to English, you will only be able to enter text for English translations; if the status is marked as needing translation to Japanese, you will only be able to enter text for Japanese translations.
  2. If you want to view the item in the actual project instance to which it belongs, click VIEW IN CONTEXT at the top of the page. (This will open the project instance, showing the item as it appears to anyone viewing or working on this project.)
  3. Enter the appropriate translated text (English or Japanese).
  4. If you feel that the text is complete and correct in both English and Japanese, set the status to Translated.
  5. To save any changes, click SAVE. (Or, CANCEL to exit without saving changes.)
    The translations will be automatically added to the project when you save your changes.
