Cancel a translation

You can cancel a Unified Localization project at any time before you move the objects to Translation:done.

About this task

There are many reasons why you might need to cancel a translation project. For example, you might discover that a map needs a number of edits after you have created the Translation Manifest or even after you have sent the content to the LSP. Because editing the objects creates new revisions of them, you will need to create a new Translation Manifest to pick up the new revisions. Therefore, it's best to cancel the first Translation Manifest in this case.

Cancellation is flexible. For example, you can cancel one language in the Translation Manifest, and still complete the translation process for the other languages. You can then move the Translation Manifest to Translation:done when work is complete, even if "complete" means 4 of 5 languages in the Translation Manifest were done and one was cancelled.

Procedure

  1. Search for and open the Translation Manifest you want to cancel.

    This manifest must be at Translation:new or Translation:in progress. You cannot cancel a manifest that is at Translation:done.

  2. Do one of the following:
    • To cancel the entire Translation Manifest and all languages, click Move, then move the manifest to Translation:cancelled.
    • To cancel a single language, open the Language Manifest, click Move, then move the manifest to Translation:cancelled. Only the selected Language Manifest is cancelled. All the other Language Manifests within the Translation Manifest remain at their current status.

Results

Cancelled Translation Manifests and Language Manifests remain in CCMS Web but they no longer manage any objects, so they do not conflict with any ongoing projects.
