Tracking Your Translation Job

  3 minute read  

After you send the job to Lionbridge for translation, you can track the progress of this job on the Job overview page (Jobs tab).

Note: If you requested a quote for the translation job, you must log into Lionbridge Freeway to authorize the quote and start the translation process.

Tip: Drupal TMGMT provides icons that indicate the translation state/status of source- and target-language items. For a list and descriptions of these icons, see Drupal TMGMT Icon Legend.

To track your translation job:
  1. Select Translation > Jobs from the menu.

The Job overview page (Jobs tab) opens.

There is a separate job for each target language. For detail see Job Status, Liox ID and Provider Name in Drupal TMGMT.

  1. Optional. Use the filter bar at the top of the page to locate the jobs to send out for translation.

Dropdown List Description
State The state of the translation job. This is one of the following:

* Unprocessed: The job has not been submitted to the Connector. It may be in the Cart.
* Pending: The job has been submitted to the Connector. The quote may have been authorized.
* Translated: The job was accepted, and the translated item was created in Drupal. If the **Receive translated jobs automatically** feature is not configured, then you must import the translated content. For detailed instructions, see Importing Your Translated Content into Drupal TMGMT.
  • Reviewed: The translated item in Drupal was reviewed.
  • Accepted: The job was either accepted or auto-accepted and the translated item was created and published in Drupal. Accepted applies to items, job items. If an item is accepted it means client has imported translation, reviewed and accepted everything, the item is published after accepting
  • Finished: All items in the job have Accepted state, and the translated node was created.
