Hi everyone,

I am a newbie with umbraco.
Please help with the "sendtotranslate". How is it works.

I am thinking that it work like this:
- I create some page and set english as default language.
- I send to translator to translate it in portuguese.
- The translater uploads the xml file via umbraco/translation.
- Ok, now i have to versions of this page: English and Portuguese
- When i access the page: mypage.aspx?lang=portuguese i can see the translated version.

Am I wrong?

all the best!

Hi Wesley.

The preferred way to make mulit language sites in umbraco is to make your site like this:
(Pardon my spanish. Used babelfish..)

- content
- - Home (English front page)
- - - About
- - - Products
- - Hogar (Portuguese front page)
- - - Sobre
- - - Products (This is a copy of the english products page that you want translated)

As you can see, you've made a copy of the english page and placed it on the portuguese section. Now you right click that node at select the "send to translate" option, where you can choose which translator to send it to.

Then the translator can download the xml file, translate it, and upload the file again. When the file is uploaded, the page you sent to translation will now have portuguese content, and you can publish it.
