Translate the content in workflow
Our site is available in 3 languages, traditional chinese(ZH-HK), simplified chinese(ZH-CN) and english (EN). And I applied the translation activity (from ZH-HK to ZH-CN) inside the approval workflow once the user modified the content. The translation is work and I can set the attribute for SC. However, in the content list page, the system show the item is not available for ZH-CN but the content for ZH-CN is ready.
Hello Gary,
Can you verify that the page translation is available in the table sf_page_node. For example if there is column for the translated title (title_ ; title_zh_cn ; title_zh_hk).
In addition, could you please provide more information about the translation - how it is done, the scenario you are trying to achieve?

Hi,
Thanks for your assistant on this issue. Let me describe my scenario more concrete.
My case is that I apply two steps approval on News item. And I modified the approval workflow and added a translation activity, in order to translate some field in News item, when user perform some actions (save as draft, send for approval & send for publishing). The translation activity will translate some fields from zh-HK to zh-CN.
I debugged and found that the translation is work(the database record has translated content). But, in sitefinity's backend, the news item only existed in zh-HK (blue) but not zh-CN (gray).
Thanks,
Gary
Hi Gary,
Which version you are using? In case of 7.0/7.1 you can translate the page by using the following code snippet:
public static void CopyLocalizedPage(string title) const string CultureName = "zh-hk"; //new translation culture var settings = Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions.AppSettings.CurrentSettings; using (new CultureRegion(CultureName)) var manager = PageManager.GetManager(); var nodeId = manager.GetPageNodes() .Where(p => p.RootNodeId == SystemManager.CurrentContext.CurrentSite.SiteMapRootNodeId && p.LocalizationStrategy == LocalizationStrategy.NotSelected && p.NodeType == NodeType.Standard && p.Title == title) .Select(p => p.Id) .FirstOrDefault(); var node = manager.GetPageNode(nodeId); if (node.AvailableLanguages.Contains(CultureName)) continue; if (node.LocalizationStrategy != LocalizationStrategy.NotSelected) continue; node.Title = node.UrlName + "_" + CultureName; node.UrlName = node.UrlName + "_" + CultureName; var pageData = node.GetPageData(); if (pageData != null && pageData.Culture == null) pageData.Culture = settings.DefaultFrontendLanguage.Name; manager.InitializePageLocalizationStrategy(node, LocalizationStrategy.Split, true); manager.SaveChanges(); WorkflowManager.MessageWorkflow( node.Id, node.GetType(), "", "Publish", false, new Dictionary<string, string>());
