Depending on your company’s configuration, the Content API Platform may send the content to a specific translation provider based on the content type. Select one of the following content types: * Marketing * Technical * Legal **Note:** You may see different content types if your company has configured custom content types. |
| Quote | Select this check box to inform the translation provider that you want to receive a quote before the translation process starts. Note: This check box is displayed only if the selected translation provider is configured to support providing a quote before the translation process starts. |
| Job Name | Your name for this translation job. By default this includes the username, date, and time when you created the job, for example: Submit by [admin] @ 2016-12-20 6.57 PM. This is stored in the CQJobName attribute in the XML that the Connector sends to the translation provider. |
