Incremental localization scenario for CCMS Web
A simple scenario with a map and five topics to illustrate a straightforward incremental localization cycle taking place over four weeks.
Let's use the User Guide map and its five topics Getting Started, Initial Setup, Configuration, Adding Records, and Support as an example.
In Week One, topics Getting Started and Support are at
Authoring:done. When you localize the User Guide map to
French for the first time, the CCMS creates a Translation Manifest and a French Language
Manifest. In the Language Manifest, placeholders for Getting Started and
Support are created at the virtual status To be translated.
Placeholders for the other topics and the map are created at the virtual status
Not ready because they are yet not at a status that allows for
translation. You create a localization kit for the map, which moves Getting
Started and Support to the virtual status In
translation. Based on your configuration, the kit contains the map and all five
topics to provide full context for the translation. You send the kit to your LSP.
| Objects | Week 1 |
|---|---|
| User Guide | A:work --> Not ready |
| —Getting Started | A:done --> To be translated --> In translation |
| —Initial Setup | A:work --> Not ready |
| —Configuration | A:work --> Not ready |
| —Adding Records | A:work --> Not ready |
| —Support | A:done --> To be translated --> In translation |
In Week Two, you receive the translations of Getting Started and Support from
your LSP and you import them, moving those topics to Translation:in
review. During the past week, the topics Configuration and Adding
Records have reached Authoring:done. You localize the User
Guide map to French again to create a second Translation Manifest with a French
Language Manifest. In the new Language Manifest, placeholders for Configuration
and Adding Records are created at the virtual status To be
translated. Placeholders for Initial Setup and the map are created
at the virtual status Not ready because they are still not at a status
that allows for translation. You create a localization kit for the map, which moves
Configuration and Adding Records to the virtual status In
translation. You send the kit to your LSP. In the meantime, you perform an
in-house review on the translations of Getting Started and Support and
move them to Translation:done.
| Objects | Week 2 |
|---|---|
| User Guide | A:work --> Not ready |
| —Getting Started | T:In review --> T:done |
| —Initial Setup | A:work --> Not ready |
| —Configuration | A:done --> To be translated --> In translation |
| —Adding Records | A:done --> To be translated --> In translation |
| —Support | T:In review --> T:done |
In Week Three, you receive the translations of Configuration and Adding Records
from your LSP and you import them, moving those topics to Translation:In
review. During the past week, the topic Initial Setup and the
User Guide map itself have reached Authoring:done. You
localize the User Guide map to French again to create a third Translation
Manifest with a French Language Manifest. In the new Language Manifest, placeholders for
Initial Setup and the User Guide map are created at the virtual status
To be translated. You create another localization kit for the map,
which moves Initial Setup and the User Guide map to the virtual status
In translation. You send the kit to your LSP. In the meantime, you
perform an in-house review on the translations of Configuration and Adding
Records and move them to Translation:done.
| Objects | Week 3 |
|---|---|
| User Guide | A:done --> To be translated --> In translation |
| —Getting Started | T:done |
| —Initial Setup | A:done --> To be translated --> In translation |
| —Configuration | T:In review --> T:done |
| —Adding Records | T:In review --> T:done |
| —Support | T:done |
In Week Four, you receive the translations of Initial Setup and the User Guide
map from your LSP and you import them, moving them to Translation:In
review. You perform an in-house review on Initial Setup and the
User Guide map and move them to Translation:done.
| Objects | Week 4 |
|---|---|
| User Guide | T:In review --> T:done |
| —Getting Started | T:done |
| —Initial Setup | T:In review --> T:done |
| —Configuration | T:done |
| —Adding Records | T:done |
| —Support | T:done |
The localization cycle for the User Guide map is complete.
