Language manifest view

The language manifest dynamically provides you with status on objects in the Translation cycle.

You track the status of an object for a specific language by opening a language manifest for that language from within the translation manifest. Thus, the Details side panel still references the Translation Manifest, but the grid points to the language manifest for the selected language, such as Spanish. The language manifest dynamically updates. Use the Status column to monitor the progress of each object while in the Translation cycle.

Note: To distinguish a language manifest from a translation manifest, use grid information as your cue. In the Page field, if you see the [

lang
				code

][lang name] (status), you know you are in a language manifest. In addition, the grid banner includes the hexagonal shape that surrounds

, the Language Manifest object type icon, which also denotes it is in the Translation cycle.

Note: If any of the objects are dimmed, it means that this is a reference only. Once you import translated objects, the content actually exists and you can interact with them as you normally would.
