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.
Step 12: Save as Template
To save this workflow as a reusable template, click Save as Template in the main option menu, as shown.
Workflow templates can help with general efficiency, because you can load them instead of creating a workflow from scratch every time. Workflow templates are accessible in the Workflows area, accessed via the main navigation menu.
NOTE: A variable user (i.e. Document Owner or Workflow Starter) will be resolved to a static user as soon as the workflow is started. Therefore, you should save your workflow template before starting it for the first time if you wish for any variable user to remain a variable in your workflow template.
