Once you have created and populated your Content Groups, you then create a target-language document with a translation workflow.
By definition, translation jobs have both a source language and a target language. In order to leverage tools such as a translation memory (TM), we need both of these languages to be available in the workflow.
Given that an Adobe® InDesign® document is monolingual, we will need both our original source-language document and a separate target-language document. The target-language document is named a Version.
This is an excerpt from the workshop: Create a Translation Workflow.
Assign Users to Workflow Steps
You must also assign users to their workflow steps.
- Open the Users and Groups dialog by double-clicking any Drop users here field, or via the main navigation menu (Settings > Users and Groups).
- Drag and drop users to their workflow steps. Multiple users can be assigned to each workflow step, if desired.
NOTE: It is important to note that all users assigned to a workflow step will all be working on the same job. Therefore, one user could complete a workflow step without the other user ever having seen it. If all users must be involved in a job, then they should be assigned to different steps within the workflow.
NOTE: Users can only edit content from the Content Group to which the workflow track belongs.
You can also assign variable users to a workflow.
A variable user is a placeholder that will be resolved into a specific username when the workflow starts.
There are two variable-user options you can choose:
- Document Owner: The Document Owner will resolve to the user who created the document in one2edit™.
- Workflow Starter: The Workflow Starter will resolve to the user who starts the workflow.
Insert one of these variable users via the option menu in the user field of any workflow step.
NOTE: These variable users are often used in Workflow Templates that are assigned by starting a Job Template, thus inserting the name of the user who started the Job from the Template.
