Icons used for Unified Localization

To make it easier to visually distinguish objects in Translation from those in Authoring, there are unique icons for content objects, Translation Manifests, Localization Manifests, and localization kits.

Content objects in the Translation cycle (maps, topics, images, resources) are indicated by a hexagon

(as opposed to the circle that indicates objects in Authoring). The color of the hexagon is important.

  • Orange: The object is not assigned to you
  • Blue: The object is assigned to you
  • Dimmed: the object is virtual only; its translation has not been imported

In addition, there are new icons for the new Unified Localization objects.
