Submit multiple queued translation jobs

After you create a few translation jobs that were put on hold, you can start the translation work on the queued jobs and submit them all at the same time.

You must have permission to be a translation coordinator or be an administrator before you can send a component to translation or manage a translation job.

Tips and tricks

  • Inspire prepares the jobs as soon as they are queued.

    • Inspire creates a folder for each language you select. The folder's location is based on the component you select for translation.

    • Inspire creates a target language component and puts it into the new language folder. A target language component is created for each language you selected.

    • Inspire sets the Reading property ("ltr" or "rtl") as it is specified in the language definition when creating target components for translation.

    • Queuing locks the files unless and Administrator has configured different behavior.
    • For more information, refer to: Create a queued translation job
  • Before you submit a queued job, you can update the following job properties:
    • On the Details tab: Name (of the job), Description, and (Translation) Coordinator
    • On the Languages tab: Cancel (a language)
    • On the Components tab: Cancel (a component translation)
    • On the Integration tab: nothing
    • On the Reference only tab: nothing
  • After you Submit a queued job, translation work in GlobalLink Enterprise starts immediately.

To submit multiple queued translation jobs:

  1. Select Translations_TopMenuOpt Translations.
  2. On the Translations Management tab, in the list, find the translation jobs you want to start.

    Make sure the jobs are in the Queued Submission state.

  3. To start the translation work for all the selected jobs, go to the Selected Translations panel, and click Submit.

    If you select multiple Queued Submission jobs to send for a quote, and at least one job does not use a Project that allows for the quote feature, you will see the Send for Quote and the Submit button in the Selected Translations panel.

    If one of the jobs is not appropriate for the button you select, Inspire will perform the button's action on the appropriate jobs, and the other jobs are skipped.

    • To get a quote for the jobs that use a quote Project, select Send for quote.
      • Any Queued Submissions that don't use the Quote feature are ignored.
    • If you click Submit:
      • The jobs that have a State of Queued and use the Quote feature are submitted. After the queued job is submitted, the Quote feature cannot be used with this job.
      • The jobs that have a State of Quoted are ignored and are not changed in any way.
      • All Queued Submissions started whether or not they use the Quote feature.
  4. On the Submit Translation screen, click Yes.

    What happens next:

    • If you're using an integrated vendor, Inspire contacts them and delivers the files and job settings. The integrated vendor provides Inspire with an ID that allows Inspire to track the job's progress.
    • If you're using a manual process, you receive a notification with a link. The translation job content can be downloaded from that link. Then you must send the target files to the vendor for translation and provide them with the job details.
    • In the Translations module, on the Translation Management screen, the State is set to In Progress.
