Translate modified topics id16A5A0B6072
If you make changes in some of the topics, then those topics require re-translation. You can keep track of modified topics from DITA map. From the source language copy folder, click the DITA map file and click the Translation tab. You can see the status of each topic whether it requires re-translation or not.
Perform the following steps to send a modified topic for re-translation:
-
Click the DITA map file from the source language copy folder.
-
Click the Translation tab.
-
In the Filter panel on the left, select the Translate Languages that you want to check the status for and click Done.
You can see the translation status for each topic. The topics that have another revision of topic available than what was sent for translation, show an Out of Date status.
note note NOTE The translation workflow compares the last saved revision of the topic file in the source language folder with the translated version. If you click the arrow to see further details. you can see the particular language copy that is out of date.
-
Click the check box to select the topics that you want to send for re-translation.
When you select an out of sync date, the Create/Update Language Copies option appears in the References panel and the Dismiss Out of Sync Status button above the Filter icon.
You can use the Dismiss Out of Sync button to override the Out of Date status for the topics in the DITA map. For example, if you made some changes in the English version of the topic that does not need translation, you can use this button and change the Out of Date status for the selected topic.
note note NOTE If you click the Dismiss Out of Sync Status button, it sets the topic status to Up to Date for the selected Out of Date topics. -
Click Update Language Copies and configure the translation job.

You can choose to create a new translation project or add topics to an existing translation project. Provide the required details to configure the translation project.
