Translation Approvals

Translation Approvals is a useful feature for large corporations where final approval is required before a translated post can be published to a company’s live site. A list of Approvers can be created and then the approvers can log in, review the work, and either publish or return the posts to be amended, as required.

  2. Hover over Kurtosys Features, then select Translations.
  1. Toggle on Translations Approval required before Share.
  2. Scroll down to set up applicable Translation Approvers for each language.
  3. Click SAVE.
