WMS: Translate a page


OVERVIEW

Target audience: Site Administrators, Site Managers

The Web Management System (WMS) supports the translation of English pages into French and vice-versa.

To make it easy to access English or French pages, the site's home page should already have an English and French version published before translating and publishing other pages.

NOTE: this article refers to a process to be used on sites that have already migrated to the New WMS.

If your site has not yet migrated see the Index of documentation for the McGill Web Management System.

Translate a page

  1. Go to the page and click the Translate tab.
  2. The Translations table for the page displays the title and status of each language. If there is no existing translation, click on Add next to the desired language.
  3. Fill-in the following fields:
    • Title: This should be the translation of the page title.
    • Body: Enter the translated content here. By default, the WYSIWYG editor copies over the content of the page you are translating so that it does not have to be reformatted.
    • Menu link title: This is the page title in the menu.
    Note: Changing the Parent link or the Weight will change these settings for both languages of the page.
  4. Click Save.
