Configuring the Behavior of the Send Dependent Items Check Box in the Sitecore User Interface

The Send Dependent Items check box is displayed in:

  • the Choose Items page of the Bulk Translation wizard
  • the Automatic Item Export for Translation dialog box

By default, if the Send Dependent Items check box is selected, the Connector sends out data source items from the layout and final layout of the item itself. For a detailed illustration and scenarios of the default behavior of the Send Dependent Items check box, see Understanding the Send Dependent Items Check Box.

You can configure the Connector to exclude dependent content items by their paths or templates if the Send Dependent Items check box is selected.

To configure the behavior of the Send Dependent Items check box:
  1. In the Content Editor, in the content tree, navigate to /sitecore/system/Settings/Lionbridge Settings/Lionbridge Connector Settings/.

  2. Click the Lionbridge Connector Settings item to select it and open it in the content area.

  3. Scroll down to the Dependent items section.
