Localization access rights

These access rights control access to actions related to localization. Some of these access rights are available for Standard deployments only or both Standard and DRM deployments,as noted. Some apply only to CCMS Desktop or only to CCMS Web, or both, as noted.

ExportKit

Allows users to generate a localization kit in CCMS Web.

CCMS Web: Translation Manifest/Localization Manifest More > Generate kit

importLocalization_api

This API method determines at what statuses objects in Localization can be overwritten by an import from a localization kit. It does not give users access to any visible functionality.

This method looks only at status names. It does not distinguish between object types unless different objects have different names for statuses.

ImportTranslatedContent

Allows users to import translated content in CCMS Web.

CCMS Web: Hamburger menu > Import Translated Content or My Kits/Imports > Import Translated Content

LinguisticReview

This API method works with the linguisticReview.xml configuration file, as well as the Prepare kit and prepareLocalizationPackage_api methods, to determine for what objects you can create a localization kit that removes the translate="no" attribute from auto-translated text. This method does not give users access to any visible functionality.

Localize

Allows users to localize maps or topics in the Authoring cycle. This access right applies to CCMS Desktop only. Its CCMS Web equivalent is LocalizeCCMS.

CCMS Desktop: Localization > Localize

localize_api

When a user uses the Localize action on an object in the Authoring cycle (such as a map), this API method determines which objects to create at a localizable status (such as Localization:tb translated) as opposed to a non-localizable status (such as Localization:do not translate). This is determined for the object that is localized and all its dependencies.

This method looks only at status names. It does not distinguish between object types unless different objects have different names for statuses.

This API method applies to CCMS Desktop only. Its CCMS Web equivalent is LocalizeCCMS_api.

LocalizeCCMS

Allows users to localize maps in the Authoring cycle. This access right applies to CCMS Web. Its CCMS Desktop equivalent is Localize.

CCMS Web map More Options > Localize

LocalizeCCMS_api

When a user uses the Localize action on an object in the Authoring cycle (such as a map), this API method determines which objects to create at a localizable status (such as Localization:tb translated) as opposed to a non-localizable status (such as Localization:do not translate). This is determined for the object that is localized and all its dependencies.

This method looks only at status names. It does not distinguish between object types unless different objects have different names for statuses.

This API method applies to CCMS Webonly. Its CCMS Desktop equivalent is localize_api.

prepareLocalizationPackage_api

This API method determines at what status objects (excluding images) are included in the localization kit. It does not give users access to any visible functionality.

This method looks only at status names. It does not distinguish between object types unless different objects have different names for statuses.

If a localization kit needs images so that there are no missing dependencies, this can be set in localizationManagers.xml. However, images that are marked as needing translation are not translated from this localization kit. If images need translation, they must be included in a separate image localization kit.

This API method applies to CCMS Desktoponly.

prepareImageLocalizationPackage_api

This API method determines at what status images are included in the image localization kit. The images must also be tagged as needing translation. The method does not give users access to any visible functionality.

This method looks only at status names. It does not distinguish between object types unless different objects have different names for statuses.

This API method applies to CCMS Desktoponly.

Prepare kit

Allows users to generate and export localization kits for the translation team.

CCMS Desktop: Localization > Prepare localization kit

CCMS Web: Generate kit option on Generate Output dialog or Translation Manifest/Localization Manifest More Options > Generate kit

Retranslate

Allows users to re-translate topics from scratch. It moves the map, topic, or image back to the initial localization status, usually tb translated, and sets its content back to the source language.

This feature is not yet available in CCMS Web.

CCMS Desktop: Localization > Retranslate from Source

Pre-Localize

Allows users to generate and export pre-localization kits.

Pre-localization kits are only available with the concurrent localization method. It is not available in IXIA Dynamic Release Management.

This feature is not yet available in CCMS Web.
