Status types for the Translation cycle

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

The status sequence for a translation or language manifest is different than 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 change the name of each real or virtual status or add another status that aligns with your corporate requirements.

Table 1. Sequence of status types for Translation and Language Manifests
Possible manifest status types	Possible related object status types	Description
New	`Translation:new`	Flags the object as created in the Translation cycle and retains this status until you create a localization kit
In Progress	`Translation:in progress`	Indicates the object's inclusion in a localization kit for submission to a translation agency or a submission returned from your translation agency
Done	`Translation:done`	Indicates all translation work is complete
Canceled	`Translation:canceled`	Indicates you opted not to continue or complete the localization process

Table 2. Sequence of status types for content objects in the Translation cycle
Possible status types	Virtual or real	Description
`Not ready`	Virtual status	(For incremental localization) Indicates content does not have an `Authoring:done` status and requires you to change its status prior to submission to the translation agency
`To be translated`	Virtual status	Indicates content is ready for localization by the translation agency
Already managed	Virtual status	Indicates the translation agency already has the object, which was included in a prior translation kit, so is redundant. Note: Typical reasons for including already managed content in the current translation kit, by using the "Include already managed objects" checkbox, would be to obtain a full cost estimate or to shift a later project submission ahead of one already sent for translation. The ownership for the already managed object is listed under the Managed By column next to this status.
`Do not translate`	Virtual status	Indicates the translation agency should not translate the object Note: Typical candidates for this status include branding, universally acknowledged technical terms, or images that do not require any translation.
`In translation`	Virtual status	Indicates its inclusion within the created localization kit
`Translation:review`	Real status	Indicates the object is back from the translation agency and imported into CCMS Web
`Translation:done`	Real status	Indicates the completion of the localization process for that object
