Add a Translation for a Single Content Item

You can create a translated content item individually, as described in this topic, or translate a batch of content items.

See Localize a Batch of Content Items.

Follow these steps to add a translation for a single content item:

1. Open the content item, click Create, and then select Add Translation.

2. Follow the same procedure you followed to create a new content item, using the appropriate language for all fields:

   • Enter the name for the translated item.

   • Enter an optional description.

   • Choose the language from the available languages. The languages shown are those that are allowed in the repository and haven't yet been used for the item.

   • Enter the translated language version of the content item. Click Compare to select another language and copy the text for use in this new translated version. Controls appear under each field in the content item. Click Show under the content item field. The content of the field in the chosen language is displayed. Click Copy to use the text from the other language as the text for the original field.

   • Click Save when done.

3. Before the translated content item can be submitted for review or published, you must change the status to translated. With the translated content item still open, click Set As Translated in the banner.
