Importing a Draft Translation Job

You can choose to import a "draft" of a translation job. This updates the objects in the target library, allowing you to publish the updated content but leaves them locked until the job is imported again. The status of the job remains as Exported for Translation allowing the job to be re-imported at a later stage. This is ideal if translation is partially complete, or the translated file is being reviewed externally.

1. Localization Coordinator creates translation job and sends XML to translator
2. Translator translates XML file and returns to Localization Coordinator

4. Localization Coordinator publishes Word document and sends to reviewer
