In many cases, the number of languages or regions you require
for a site is fixed, but there are times when you need to roll out
new locales as your organization grows.
Procedure
- Use the ML Library Copy portlet
to copy either the base locale site or one of the translated sites
that more closely matches the new site, assigning it a new name and
locale during the copy.
- Translate the copied items as required.
- Update the relevant multilingual configuration file to
reference your new library.
- This step is optional. If the library
being copied had Portal Page mappings, then you can have new mappings
added against the copied library by running the following command
from the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory:
- Windows
- ConfigEngine.bat wcm-mls-sync-content-mappings -DPortalAdminId=username -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DbaseLibrary=NAME_OF_EXISTING_COPIED_LIBRARY -DlibrariesToSync=NAME_OF_NEW_CREATED_LIBRARY
- Linux
- ./ConfigEngine.sh wcm-mls-sync-content-mappings -DPortalAdminId=username -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DbaseLibrary=NAME_OF_EXISTING_COPIED_LIBRARY -DlibrariesToSync=NAME_OF_NEW_CREATED_LIBRARY
What to do next
When the initial translation is complete, you can run user
acceptance tests before you deploy your new site and going into the
day to day maintenance that is enabled through automated processes. You
can temporarily disable the automated syncing of this new site while
it is going through its initial translation and testing phases.
