How can we exclude topics at a specific status from localization kits?

You can perform a configuration change to exclude the topics.

Description

When creating localization kits, topics at Localization:review are included in the kit. We only want topics at Localization:tb translated or Localization:in translation included in our localization kits.

Solution

  1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, lock the accessrights.xml file.
  2. In the prepareLocalizationPackage_api method, remove the status you want to exclude. For example, remove Localization:review highlighted in bold:
    <method name="prepareLocalizationPackage_api" type="api">
        <notify enabled="false"/>
        <conditionset operator="any">
            <condition>
                <current>
                    <type name="map">
                        <statuses>
                            <status>Localization:tb translated</status>
                            <status>Localization:in translation</status>
                            <status>Localization:review</status>

                        </statuses>
                    </type>
                    <type name="topic">
                        <statuses>
                            <status>Localization:tb translated</status>
                            <status>Localization:in translation</status>
                            <status>Localization:review</status>

                        </statuses>
                    </type>
                    <type name="image">
                        <statuses>
                            <status>Localization:tb translated</status>
                            <status>Localization:in translation</status>
                            <status>Localization:review</status>

                        </statuses>
                    </type>
                    <type name="resource">
                        <statuses>
                            <status>Localization:tb translated</status>
                            <status>Localization:in translation</status>
                            <status>Localization:review</status>

                        </statuses>
                    </type>
                </current>
                <users>
                    <user name="Everyone"/>
                </users>
            </condition>
        </conditionset>
    </method>
  3. Release the accessrights.xml file.
