A German-speaking administrator opens a new topic before a reviewed translation is available. On-demand translation can help only if product terms and interface labels remain recognizable. A termbase and a clear review state give users and translators a stronger starting point.
See the comparisonShow this administration topic in German.
The same administrator uses the same German interface. The comparison changes whether the translation has approved product terms and UI-label mappings.
The translation model has no approved termbase.
Forecasting appears under several translations that do not match the German interface.
The workflow supplies approved German terms and preserves translation status.
The topic uses the labels in the German interface and is identified as awaiting translator review.
Translation availability is an opening. The near-term test is whether administrators complete the same task with comparable success; renewal requires a longer observation period and other account context.
Use approved product names and UI labels.
Record corrections and their causes.
Compare completion for equivalent tasks and users.
Follow retention for comparable accounts with documented language needs; treat task parity as an earlier diagnostic measure.
Use matched tasks and similar experience levels for German and English users. Record source revision, termbase version, translation model, and review status.
Assess language-related account feedback and renewal patterns without attributing every change to translation. Include translator review and corrections in content cost. A pending translation may be unsuitable for content whose approved process requires review before use.
A short self-contained topic is easier to translate and maintain. The workflow must keep its source identity and review state visible when delivering a machine-produced version.
Translate the current topic using approved German product terms and UI labels.
Maintain self-contained topics and source revisions so translation can target the relevant task and detect later changes.
Use a termbase with approved translations and interface mappings; preserve product names and other terms that should remain unchanged.
Pilot one frequently used administration task. Have German-speaking users attempt it and translators review the output before broadening availability.
The model translates remaining prose. Localization owners approve terms and determine which content can be delivered before review.
See how this scenario worksAgree with localization and content owners which topic types may use on-demand delivery, how pending review is identified, and where users can report a confusing translation. The policy should follow the content’s use and consequences.
