Status types for the Translation cycle

Each object within the Translation cycle moves along a continuum, marked by a change in status.

The status sequence for a translation or language manifest is different that it is for a content object. You can locate the status of an object on the grid. For some, the grid provides you with both an original status and current status.

Note: Your status types may vary, since your system administrator can configure each status to align with your corporate requirements.
