Note: You will need access to AEM and Smartling before completing this process.
If you are trying to translate an email for an email blast, follow this guide. There is currently a bug that is not allowing us to submit multiple languages at once. You will need to submit it again to the same job via the "Add to job" tab when you need another language added.
- Navigate to the English web page in the BluePrint (jmpbp/en).
- Open the page by selecting the page and clicking "Edit".
- On the top left of the screen are two icons, click the right one (Page Information).
- Select "Smartling: Translate as Job"
- Add the following items:
- "Job Name" should say "JMP:", content type, page name, creation date and submitter -- e.g. "JMP: Customer Story - SMIC - 6/15/2021 - Jonathan Bryant"
- "Due Date" – Typically, "Due Date" should be set at least two weeks out to give the translation agency time to translate.
- Check "Authorize job" if you plan to use our default Translation agency (Smartling Language Services a.k.a. SLS). Otherwise, choose the correct workflow. (Contact Web Team with questions.)
- If you have sub-pages (a.k.a. Child pages), please select the checkbox to translate those as well. Be careful because it will translate ALL pages located under the parent page. If you need only select pages, add those to the job one by one after creating the job.
- Select each language you want to translate into.
"Force resubmission" allows you to re-submit the page if you have previously done so in Smartling but have not made any changes to it.
You can now click "Create Job". (Note: It can take some time depending on the amount of strings you sent to Smartling.)
If you have more pages (or need multiple languages for the same page), repeat the same process and click the "Add to job" tab. It allows you to add more pages to that project. After you click this tab, select the job name and the languages and authorize again if you did before. (If you are translating into multiple language, be sure you remove the initial language(s) when adding your 2nd, 3rd, etc., language.)
If you are submitting content to Smartling Language Services, you are done. You may, however, want to check the Workflow summary in Smartling to make sure its there. Go to #12 below.
If you did not select "Authorize Job", you will need to go into Smartling and authorize your content.
- Log in to Smartling
- Click on "Projects" and select "JMP.com" If it's not already selected.
- On your Dashboard, under "New Content," click on view jobs.
- Find your job name and click "Authorize."
- Select the "Choose Translation Workflow" to choose your workflow; then select "Confirm."
Workflow Descriptions:
- [JMP.com Internal Translation] - passes through our internal reviewers ONLY.
- [JMP.com Machine Translation] - machine translation, followed by an internal review.
- [JMP.com Offline] - sends to Password translation services for paid translations
- [Smartling Translation Services] - sends to Smartling translation services for paid translations (this is the DEFAULT Workflow)
- Smartling Language Services - MTPE – Utilizes Machine Translation with a post-edit translator from Smartling, followed by our internal reviewers. We should use this method for general content (not highly technical) to save money and time.
Confirm content is in the workflow by checking the workflow summary. (Currently under the GEAR icon)
After content has been approved and sent for translations, wait for the notification that that page has been Published. It should look something like this:
Confirm by logging into Smartling and clicking your job. Stings should be moved to the "Published" in the workflow. If you notice some languages missing, email that country's marketing person (internal reviewer) to follow up.
Next, navigate to the local language AEM page in their respective Blue Print (e.g. jmpbp/fr/software/new-release/new-in-jmp-and-jmp-pro), confirm the new content is loaded on the page and Publish it.
FINAL STEP: Go back into Smartling and "Close" the project by opening up the job and clicking on the “Close Job” button.
You will see the job is now “Closed” on the job list.
NOTE: If the new translations are not loaded, navigate to the AEM project located here and find your project to initiate the script to pull in the translation. Projects are found in the "smartling-auto" folder and the exact date that you created the project. Locate the project with the job title that you original entered and click the project with the target language you want to load.
or
It should show a box that says "Ready for Review." You can now navigate back to the AEM local language blue print page and Publish it.
