14. ●
It makes a POST call to
/etc/workflow/instances that resolves to
com.adobe.granite.workflow.console.ser
vlet.InstancesServlet
●
It requires language root page of target
language to be present. For example, to
translate some page in en to fr, fr root
page should exist. Rest of the hierarchy
is automatically created.
Language Copy Creation

15. ●
Model(/etc/workflow/models/wcm-
translation/create_language_copy/jcr:con
tent/model)
●
TranslationWorkflowModel(/etc/workflow/
models/wcm-translation/translate-
language-copy/jcr:content/model)

Language Copy Creation(Contd..)

16. ●
Send same properties except value of
model which now points to
/etc/workflow/models/wcm-
translation/update_language_copy/jcr:co
ntent/model
●
This triggers translation but does not
update target page. Translated page is
stored under launches folder so it can be
reviewed before pushing it.
Language Copy Update

17. ●
It is the process of pushing translated
content from launch to target language
page
●
This step follows content review
●
Makes a call to /bin/wcmcommand
cmd : promoteLaunch
path : /contet/mypage
