Configuring which Properties of i18n Dictionary Items to Collect for Translation

  2 minute read  

You can send out i18n dictionary items and tags for translation using the Bulk Translation wizard. For detailed instructions, refer to the Lionbridge Connector for Adobe Experience Manager User Guide.

  • In i18n dictionary items, by default the Connector sends out the sling:message property.
  • In tags, by default the Connector sends out the jcr:title property.

In both i18n dictionary and tag items, if there is no source language specified, the Connector now uses the default title or message as the source:

  • For i18n dictionary items, if the sling:message property is empty, the Connector now uses the sling:key property.
  • For tags, in the jcr:title property is empty, the Connector now uses the jcr:title.<source language> property, for example, jcr:title.en.

You can use the disableUseDefaultAsSourceForTagsAndI18N property to disable this behavior, which prevents the Connector from using the default title or message as the source if there is no source language specified.

To prevent the Connector from using the default title or message as the source if there is no source language specified:

  1. Do one of the following to open CRXDE Lite:

    • In the Touch-Optimized UI of Adobe Experience Manager, click Tools in the Adobe Experience Manager rail. Then, in the Navigation page, click CRXDE Lite.
    • In the Classic UI of Adobe Experience Manager, click CRXDE Lite in the right pane.
    • In your Web browser, navigate to /crx/de/index.jsp on your Adobe Experience Manager instance.

CRXDE Lite opens.

  1. In the Explorer pane on the left, navigate to /etc/ctctranslation/ctcconfig/debug.

  2. Create the disableUseDefaultAsSourceForTagsAndI18N property in this node.

    • In the Name field in the bottom of the right pane, enter disableUseDefaultAsSourceForTagsAndI18N.

    • In the Type dropdown list in the bottom of the right pane, accept the default of String.

    • In the Value field in the bottom of the right pane, enter any value.

    • Click Add .

  3. In the CRXDE Lite Menu, click Save All.

The disableUseDefaultAsSourceForTagsAndI18N is displayed at the top of the pane.

If there is no source language specified for i18 dictionary items or tags, the Connector will now not use the default properties as source, when sending out items and tags for translation.
