Selecting Content Items to Translate

After clicking Next in the Settings page of the Bulk Translation wizard, the Item Type page opens.

To select which items to translate:
  1. At the top of the Item Type page, select one of the following item types:

    • Pages: Web pages, Content Fragments, Experience Fragments, adaptive forms, or digital assets.

    • Tags: Metadata assigned to a content item within Adobe Experience Manager (usually a page), which act as keywords or labels attached to that content item.

    • i18n dictionaries: Texts and their translations in a CQ5 Translator dictionary.

  2. In the Search from Site Path field, specify the highest root folder of all source pages, tags, or dictionaries to send for translation. Either:

    • Click the arrow at the end of the field , navigate to that path, select it, and click Select.

Note: By default, the dialog box opens to the path of the root folder for the source language you selected in step 2, above.

  • Type the path in the following format: /content/geometrixx/en. For Content Fragments, or Experience Fragments, type the path in the following format: /content/dam/en. For adaptive forms, type the path in the following format: /content/forms/af.

Tip: Alternatively, you can click Load Saved to load the last set of previously saved page paths to the list.

Note about team profiles: If one or more paths are configured for your team profile, you can select only pages that are in these paths for translation. The path configuration does not restrict your selection of digital assets, tags, and dictionaries (i18n items).

Note: To send digital assets, including their metadata, for translation, the path is under the language root under /content/dam, for example: /content/dam/geometrixx/en/icons.

  1. Optional. In the Modification Filter From field, enter the earliest modification date for which to include items. Enter the date in the YYYY-MM-DD format. In the To field, enter the latest modification date for which to include pages. To apply this filter to the items that the search agent will collect, select the Apply Modification Filter check box. If you use this option, only items that were changed in the specified date range are included.

  2. In the Search Using Agent field, select an agent to collect items to send for translation. Select a custom agent or one of the following pre-configured agents from the list:

    • Page agents, which are available only if Pages is selected in Item Type, at the top of the page:

      • Get current page: Default. The agent collects the root page of the path specified in the Search from Site Path box, above.

      • Get all children pages: The agent collects all children pages of the path specified in the Search from Site Path box, above. It does not collect any pages in the root path.

      • Get current page and all children pages: The agent collects the root page and all children pages of the path specified in the Search from Site Path box, above.

    • The Get current and child tags agent, which is available only if Tags is selected in Item Type, at the top of the page.

    • The Get i18n agent, which is available only if i18n dictionaries is selected in Item Type, at the top of the page.

Note: For information on creating a custom agent, refer to the Lionbridge Connector for Adobe Experience Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.

  1. Click Add.

The specified agent collects all items that match the search criteria and displays them in the list. By default, the check box for each page you add is selected, and the check box for each tag or i18n dictionary is cleared.

The following summary information is displayed:

  • Total Displayed: The total number of items available for selection.

  • Total Selected (for translation): The number of items selected to send out for translation.

The following information is displayed about each item:
