3 Workflow settings for content in translation section

In this section, you can choose which workflow step to assign to content in translation in XTM Cloud. When you configure XTM Connect – Sitecore, in Sitecore, this section follows the Sitecore settings section in the Content Editor Settings window.

For details of how to access these parameters, see Configuring the basic XTM Connect parameters.

Description

Use the workflow state from the workflow marked as in "In translation" in the XTM Connector node checkbox

Select this checkbox if required.

Note

This setting takes precedence over the next one: if you select both, this setting will be applied.

To check which workflow state has been assigned to the In translation workflow:

  1. In the main Sitecore screen, select the Content Editor icon. You see the Content Editor screen.

  2. Select the arrow to the left of the System folder at the bottom of the list.

  3. Select the arrow to the left of the Workflows folder.

  4. If the In translation workflow that you want to view is not contained in the Workflows folder, select the arrow to the left of the relevant folder. Example: "XTM Translation".

  5. Select the In translation workflow. Its details are displayed on the right of the screen.

  6. Scroll down to the Workflow section. If a default workflow state has been defined for the In translation workflow, it will be displayed in the State field there.

Use initial state from existing workflow checkbox

This setting is an alternative to the previous one. Select this checkbox if required.

Workflow step for content in translation

If required, select an appropriate workflow step for content that is in translation, from the dropdown. We recommend "In translation", but you can, for example, select a different workflow step if required in your company.

Workflow Action Project Name

This field contains the project name used when adding items for translation from the XTM translation workflow action. Enter it here, if required. For more information, see Creating a custom action for a workflow state.
