Considerations
After you've added a new language, keep these next steps in mind:
- Make sure that you have translation resources assigned to the new language. Contact your Smartling Customer Success Manager (or your third-party translation vendor) to ensure they are ready to assign resources for a new language.
- Choose the correct default workflow for the new language, or create a new workflow for the new language.
- Assign an existing style guide for the new language, or create a new one.
- Customize the leverage configuration and SmartMatch settings for the new language as needed.
- Translate your glossary terms into the new language.
- Enter the per word or per hour rates for your new language in order to run accurate cost estimates.
- Start translating into your new language by creating a Job.
