Machine translation taking over a day?

Are you translating mostly Pages or Posts? Whichever one it is if you navigate to that section in the Admin menu you should see a bunch of orange icons underneath the flag icons. What orange icons are you seeing?

I’m only translating pages and some strings. The orange icons are the little “in progress” clocks, they have been there after the original content finished uploading last night.

Okay we took a look at your settings and found that your Default Workflow is set to Machine Translation + Post-Edit. There are a few steps that you need to take to change this and get your translations back.

1. Navigate to Translation -> Settings -> Defaults and change your Default Workflow to Machine Translation. Click Save Changes.

2. Navigate to Translation -> Settings -> Utilities and check the option Disassociate all the content from Lingotek TMS. Click Run Utilities.

3. Re-upload all your content to Lingotek and everything should now work as expected.

If you wanted to Post-Edit your translations you can do that by clicking on the orange Pencil icon after your machine translations are downloaded and that will take you to the Lingotek Workbench where you can make those changes.

Thank you so much for your fast and thorough help! It worked and I’m ready to review the translations now.

Really appreciate the great support!

You’re welcome! Glad we could get it working for you!
