Localize from a pivot language
You can use a pivot language as an intermediate language when a direct translation between the source language and the target language is not available.
You begin pivot language localization by sending an already localized map and its contents to be localized into another language.
If pivot language localization is configured, the source languages and their allowed target languages are explicitly defined in the configuration files. As a result, the options available are limited to the target languages configured for that source language.
The localization process requires a substantial amount of system resources. If you are localizing several maps in many different languages you may notice an impact on your computer's performance.
To start the localization process from a pivot language:
- Create an image localization kit for the graphics, if required.
- Create a localization kit for the map and its topics.
