Retranslate from source
Use this function when you want to have a topic completely retranslated from scratch.
Sometimes it’s easier to have an entire topic retranslated, rather than trying to salvage individual phrases. This function reverts the content of one or more topics to the original source language.
You can revert a topic at any point in the Localization cycle. The reverted topic’s status is set to Localization:tb translated (or its equivalent in your workflow).
Note that parent document status will be adjusted as appropriate.
For example, if you revert a referable-content topic that’s reached Localization:done, then all the topics that reference that topic will have their status set to their initial Localization state as well. These topics will be included in the localization kit, when it is generated. Their content, however will remain unchanged and they need not be sent to the translation team. You can safely set their status to Localization:done (or its equivalent in your workflow) once the referable-content topic is finished and re-imported into the repository.
- Right-click the appropriate topic(s) and select .
- When the localization process is complete, the Retranslate dialog displays a message telling you that the operation was successful.
- Click OK.
