Enter your Login ID and password, and click “Save configuration”

Confirm the project and vault that will be used by default (can be overridden at the node level).

Click “edit” next to the content type

Click “Publishing Options”

Under Multilingual support, check “Enabled, with Lingotek translation”

To be able to translate the title field, replace the title field with the field created by the title

module.

Click “Save settings”

Step 5

Enable a target language

Drupal will display a confirmation message that the page was pushed to Lingotek.

Verify in the platform that the page was created in your project. The target language should

match the languages you have defined in Drupal.

name.

The Lingotek Workbench will open.

changed.
