Translating an asset within a translated section

Once you have prepared the website section that you want to translate, you can begin creating translations for the existing website assets.

This task assumes you are in the Document Library page component of the Quick Start site, the Show Folders feature is enabled, and you created a translation for a section in the Government sample site.
  1. Navigate to SkyVault Quick Start > Quick Start Editorial > root > en.
  2. Locate the asset that you want to translate and click Manage Translations in the associated action list.

    At the top of the Manage Translations page you see the link Mark this document as the English translation. SkyVault recognizes that this asset is inside the section marked as English and conveniently puts this action in a prominent location.

  3. Click Mark this document as the English translation.
  4. In the Action column click Create to the right of the language for which you have already created a translation section.

    The Create Content page appears.

  5. Complete the form by entering a translation of the original text in the Content text editor.

    It is not necessary to change the name of the item as this asset will be placed in a different folder.

  6. Click Create.

    This creates a new asset and displays its details page. The breadcrumb path shows the location of the new asset in its appropriate language section. SkyVault recognizes that this is a translation and automatically creates the correct website structure for you as you create the translated assets.

    As an example, if you create a translation of the asset root > en > news > family-home-community > article3.html into German (section de), SkyVault places the new asset in root > de > news > family-home-community > article3.html.

    You can rename the folders at any time. New translations will continue to be filed appropriately.
