Configuring target language translation status

The option for administrators to add target language translation statuses for browse and task perspectives can be found in the Configuration tool. For browse and task perspectives in custom work areas, users can add or remove target language translation statuses using the Customize option in the toolbar.

Translation status options are populated based on the language dimension points that have been configured in STEP. You should be familiar with the following STEP concepts:

• The Dimensions, Dimension Points, and Contexts section in the STEP Documentation will explain how to set up your language dimension points.

• The Translations section in the STEP Documentation will provide an overview of how translations work in STEP.
