Manage Translations

What are Translations?
A translation in Scroll Documents is an additional page tree that is associated with a document version and a language. Once you have defined the authoring and additional languages for your document, you can create a translation of any document version for which the authoring language is going to serve as a basis.
Why Manage Translations?
When creating translations for your document in order to localize it, the page trees are separate, but still part of the same version and document. Each page of a translation remains connected to the corresponding page in the authoring language. Compared to managing different languages in separate documents, this simplifies the management in several ways:
It’s easier to switch between different languages of the same page using the picker in the Document toolbox.
It’s easier to keep your translations up to date using the label-based translation status.
