Translation mode Description Machine Translate Translates content using the translation service provider configured in the translation preferences.

If there are more than is LRITM, then the operation is asynchronous. Export Source File Exports the source file for translation in the file format configured in the translation preferences or as per the selected file format in the comparison UI. Import Translated File Imports the translated file in the file format configured in the translation preferences from the third-party translator. A merge conflict occurs when you have certain fields pre-populated with translations, but those fields get updated when you import the translated file. These conflicts are shown right below the fields updated with the latest translations.
To resolve the merge conflict, do the following:- Click See versions.
- Choose a version that you want to retain.
- Click Save.
Send Source File via Email Sends the source file to the email addresses configured in translation preferences for translation. If there is more than one LRITM, then the operation is asynchronous.
