Enter your Login ID and password, and click “Save configuration”

Confirm the project and vault that will be used by default (can be overridden at the node level).

Recommend changing “Automatically Push Node Content to Lingotek” to Enabled for testing

purposes

Click “Save configuration”

Step 3

Enable content types for translation.

Click “edit” next to the content type

Click “Publishing Options”

Under Multilingual support, check “Enabled, with Lingotek translation”

Step 4

Enable fields for translation.

Structure > Content types

Click “manage fields” next to the content type

To be able to translate the title field, replace the title field with the field created by the title

module.

Click “edit” next to the field to configure the settings.

Under Field Settings (bottom of the page), check “Enable Lingotek Translation”

Click “Save settings”

Step 5

Enable a target language

Test pushing a node to Lingotek.

Add a node for a content type that you’ve enabled for translation.

Change the Language selector to “English”

Select the Lingotek Translation Settings tab

Verify the “Automatically Push Node Content to Lingotek” setting is “Enabled”

Click Save

Drupal will display a confirmation message that the page was pushed to Lingotek.

Verify in the platform that the page was created in your project. The target language should

match the languages you have defined in Drupal.

Step 7

Translate the page.

Open the Lingotek Workbench, either via the Lingotek platform or via Drupal.

In the platform, click the document name, then the phase name to launch the workbench.

To open the workbench in Drupal, click the “Lingotek” tab on the node, then click the phase

name.

The Lingotek Workbench will open.

Enter a translation for each segment, then click “Save and Close”.

changed.

Check the target language box the click the “Update” button.

Configuration > Languages > Detection and selection

Check “Enabled” for URL

Click the View tab, then use the language selector to change the language for the node.
