Contents of localization kits

The localization kit contains all the content that needs to be sent to the translation team for localization.

Sequential localization method

In the sequential localization method, the localization kit can contain the following depending on your configuration:

  • A <language> folder (for example, ja-jp) that contains the map and its topics in DITA format. Depending on the configuration, this folder may include the .image containers for the images in the map for context. If auto-translation is enabled and a previously-translated copy exists, the files will contain the automatically-translated text.
  • A file called originals.zip is saved in the <language> folder. It contains the latest version of the document in the authoring cycle at the time the localization kit is created. The document is in a format configured by your System administrator (for example, PDF, HTML, etc.). If auto-translation is enabled, the document will contain the automatically-translated text.
  • A file called lasttranslation.zip. This file is saved in the <language> folder and contains the previous translation of the document in a format configured by your System administrator (for example, PDF, HTML, etc.).
