XTM Connect – Sitecore User Guide for Translation Requesters

Detecting and applying content changes in a translation item

When the content of a single translation item changes, you can resend it for translation, in the Translation queue. In XTM Connect – Sitecore, this process is called updating. You must do this manually.

You can use the item line context menu to update a single item in a single project. If you want to update multiple items, in the same or different projects, or multiple projects, use the Actions menu.

Alternatively, you can select the yellow exclamation mark orange-warning-circle-exclamation.png to the right of the item's XTM Status column to update it.

To update a single item in a single project via the context menu:

  1. Select the translation project. To do so, select its name (not the checkbox next to it). Each target language it contains is listed.

  2. Select the required target language. All translation items (translation files) in that target language are listed below the language.

  3. Select the context menu for the item. This icon is located on the far right of the screen, in the project line. It contains three dots.

  4. Select the Update option. A Detecting changes in content popup is displayed.

  5. In the popup:

    • To confirm that you want to update the current item, select Update existing. The changed translations will be returned to Sitecore and update the original translated texts there.

    • To confirm that you want to create a new translation job from the current item, instead of updating it, select Send as new. If the changed content is sent for translation as a new translation job, and is completed after the original one, the new project will be ignored. No changed translations will be returned to Sitecore. For this reason, we recommend that you cancel the original translation project for changed items, if still possible, before selecting this option.

    • If you do not want to update this item, select Ignore content updates.

    For each option you select, a Check the logs for the current job status popup informs you that the job for processing that option has started. It also lists the selected item.

  6. In the popup, select the Close button.

    Result: You return to the Translation queue. In it, the content and workflow status of the selected item will be unchanged.
