Defining Distribution ParametersLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

  • Your translator profile includes the authorization LAOB with the value 01 .

  • The object types that need translating into a specific target language have been defined.

  • Automatic distribution cannot take place in an object until its collection has been assigned to a graph for which automatic distribution has been activated for the target language.

Context

If distribution has been activated for a language and object type, it can take place each time an evaluation is performed. The distribution parameters defined in transaction LXE_MASTER for each object type and language apply. LXE_MASTER also enables you to determine whether distribution takes place in new, modified, and/or translated lines.

Procedure


  1. Call transaction LXE_MASTER.

  2. On the Languages tab page, choose Object Types.

  3. Select the target language for which you want to define distribution parameters.

  4. Select the object types in which distribution must take place as of the same quality status for new lines, and choose Distribution in New Lines .

  5. Select the minimum quality status that a proposal in the proposal pool must have before it can be distributed in new lines.

  6. Repeat this procedure for other quality statuses.

  7. Select the object types in which distribution must take place as of the same quality status for modified lines, and choose Distribution in Modified Lines .

  8. Select the minimum quality status that a proposal in the proposal pool must have before it can be distributed in modified lines.

  9. Repeat this procedure for other quality statuses.

  10. Select the object types in which distribution must take place as of the same quality status for translated lines, and choose Distribution in Translated Lines .

  11. Select the minimum quality status that a proposal in the proposal pool must have before it can be distributed in translated lines.

  12. Repeat this procedure for other quality statuses.

    Caution

    By distributing in modified or translated lines, you are changing existing translations. If distributing in translated lines where you defined the translation of a specific source text as an exception in the proposal pool, automatic distribution overwrites the standard translation. We recommend that you always maintain distribution parameters for new and modified lines. Only distribute for translated lines if you want to standardize translation. This is to be used in exception circumstances only.

  13. If you want to deactivate distribution for a specific object type, select the object type and choose No Distribution in New Lines , No Distribution in Modified Lines , or No Distribution in Translated Lines.

    Note

    If you want to select several object types at the same time, choose Select Object Types .

Results

You have defined distribution parameters. When evaluations run, proposals are distributed in accordance with these parameters in objects belonging to collections that are assigned to graphs for which automatic distribution has been activated for the target language.
