Creating a translation

Related topics

When a content area is created, it is created in a single default language (specified at creation time). You can subsequently create translations of the content area, which enable content contributors to add content to it in different languages.

Before you can create a translation for a particular language, the application messages for that language must have been installed.

You must be the content area administrator, the portal administrator, or have Manage privileges on All Content Areas to create a translation.

To create a translation:

  1. In the Navigator, click the Content Areas tab.

  2. Navigate to the root path.

  3. In the row for your content area, click Edit Properties.

  4. Click Translations.

  5. In the Language list, choose the language for which you want to create a translation of the content area.

    Note: This list displays only those languages for which the application messages have been installed, and for which a translation does not already exist.

  6. Click Create.

    The translation is created and displayed in the Edit Translation section where you can change its status, if required.

  7. Click OK.

Note

  • When you create a translation of a content area, its user interface is translated into the appropriate language. The content is not translated for you; the items in the content area need to be translated separately.
