Knowledge Base / one2edit™ v4 Admins – Essential Workshops / Steps - Set up a Translation Project

Step 4: Create a new Translation Content Group

Created on 13th March 2026 at 17:37 by Jamie O'Connell



A typical one2edit™ use-case is translation and localization of collateral.

In this lesson, we will create a Content Group that will define what parts of the document shall be editable. We will also look at adding Content Rules to the Content Group to define how the editable content may be edited.

This is an excerpt from the workshop: Create a Translation Project.

NOTE: A detailed description of the dialogs can be found in the User Interface Description section.

NOTE: We will be creating a one2edit™ project. A project in one2edit will contain one source-language master (parent) document and may contain one or more version (child) documents.

Create Content Groups

A Content Group in one2edit™ contains all the content (i.e. text segments, images) to be edited during the translation workflow.

You must create your own Content Groups in a document in order to assign content to Jobs.

  1. New Group: Click here to create a new Content Group within this project. You will need at least one Content Group, but can create more if your workflow requires it.

There are two system Content Groups that are always shown:

  1. All Items: All of the document's content can always be found in this group. Even content assigned to another Content Group will also still be a part of this Content Group.
  2. Unassigned Items: In contrast to the All Items group, this group only contains that content which has not been assigned to any user-created Content Group.

NOTE: Content items can only be assigned to a single user-defined Content Group. Each Content Group needs its own track in the Workflow, and will have its own users assigned to it, etc. Users can only edit the content from their assigned Content Group, and do not have access to the content from any other Content Group.

Clicking New Group opens the New Content Group dialog.

Here you define your new Content Group.

  1. Group Details: This defines your new Content Group.
    • Name: The name of the Content Group. It should be meaningful so that you know what it is for. Workflows are matched to Content Groups by their name, so the names should be standardized across your projects.
    • Color: The content placed into this Content Group will be highlighted with this colour when selected, etc. Therefore it makes sense to not use a colour that will blend in with the document.
    • Type: Choose if this Content Group will be an Edit Group or a Translation Group.
      Edit Groups are used for content that must only be edited, and will not have any languages associated with it.
      Translation Groups have a source language, so that the text segments assigned to the group can be matched against a translation memory.
    • Source Language: The source language of the text that will be assigned to this Translation Group. This option does not appear if the Type of the group is Edit Group.
  2. Edit Content Rules: Add Content Rules that will apply during the first step only of the Workflow (i.e. the Edit or Translation step).
  3. Review Content Rules: Add Content Rules that will apply during any Review step of a Workflow. These same Content Rules are applied across all Review steps.
  4. Text Rule Sets: Text Rules can be added centrally to a document. However, if you wish to override these for a specific Content Group, you can do so here. Simply uncheck the Inherit Settings box and add/remove Text Rules as required.

NOTE: Ensure that your chosen source language is present in your Language Set, otherwise translation matches from this Job cannot be saved.

NOTE: Content Rules and Text Rules are optional.

If they are required, you can drag-and-drop Content Rules from their dialog into the appropriate fields.

The Content Rules dialog is opened:

  • by double-clicking within either the Edit Content Rules or Review Content Rules field.
  • via Settings > Content Rules in the main navigation menu.

NOTE: Content Rules are optional, and used to grant extra editing permissions. When no Content Rules are used, users can still edit the characters of any text segment that has been added to the Content Group, but cannot, for example, change the styling, enter paragraph characters, edit/replace images, etc.
