Selecting a translation version to update
|
Related Help Topics | Additional
Information |
When you update a translated file and you work with a page group that includes
versioning and translations, you have the opportunity to select the item version
to translate.
Use the Available Translations section in the Add Item Wizard to select an
item version to update. Select the most recent default-language item version
or any translated item version in the current (non-default) language.
The Available Translations section displays under the following conditions:
- The parent page group has at least one available translation
- Item versioning is set to Simple or Audit for the page
group or the current page
- The item's status is neither Rejected, Pending, or Draft
- You are working in the non-default (that is, translated) language version
- The default-language version of the item is more recent than the translated
version
For example, imagine that versioning is enabled, English is the default language,
and you have the following versions:
- V1: English
- V2: English, French
- V3: English, French, German
- V4: English, French, German
- V5: English
- V6: English, French
- V7: English (latest default-language version)
When you add a new French version, this dialog displays on the Edit Item screen
in place of the Item Version Control section. The drop-down list includes V7:
English, as the latest default-language version, as well as all the French versions
of the item (V2, V3, V4, V6).
When you add a new German version, this dialog displays with a selection list
that includes V7: English, as the latest default-language version as well as
all the German versions of the item (V3 and V4).
If the latest French or German version you are updating is V7, this dialog
does not display. This because the latest French or German version you are updating
is synchronized with the default-language version (English V7), and you cannot
provide a version of a translation that is later than the current default-language
version. However, you can edit the translation and overwrite its latest version,
keeping the same version level.
Notes:
- By default, the latest version of an item always displays. If you update
a default-language version of an item, but do not update the translated version
of the item, the default-language version displays in the translated version
of the portal. Your options are:
- Leave this "as is"
- Add a translated version at the same level as the most recent default-language
version
- Select an earlier translated version for display from the Item Actions
screen.
- On the Edit Item screen, if you make changes to attributes, then select
a different version from the list, any changes made to item attributes on
the Edit Item screen are lost. Once you click Go, the Edit
Item screen repopulates with the attribute values of the newly-selected version.
If you plan to select from Available Translations, do so before you change
any of the item attributes.
- For translated items, you can view and edit only translatable item attributes. The non-translatable attributes do not display on the Edit Item screen. However,
you can view the non-translatable attributes by clicking
in the banner at the top of the Edit Item screen. To change non-translatable
attributes, you must set the portal to its default language and edit the item
there. Whatever changes you make to non-translatable attributes are made automatically
across all translations of the item.
