Incremental and non-incremental localization methods

Depending on your requirements, you can choose to localize an entire map at once after it is complete, or you can localize individual objects within the map as soon as they are ready.

If you already use the incremental localization method for CCMS Desktop, you may need to make adjustments to your configuration before you migrate to CCMS Web. A map and its related children can be at any status when you use the Localize menu option.

If you use the non-incremental localization method for CCMS Desktop, and are ready to migrate to CCMS Web, each map and all its dependencies must have an Authoring:done status before the Localize menu option is available for that map.

After you create the translation manifest, each resulting language manifest contains a list of topics and images.

• Topics and images that had an Authoring:done status have a To be translated status. If you are using the non-incremental method, you will not see this status.
• Topics and images that had a status other than an Authoring:done status have a Translation:not ready status.
  Note: If you use the non-incremental method, you will not see this status.
