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

Step 10: Create a new Translation Workflow

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



Once you have created and populated your Content Groups, you then create a target-language document with a translation workflow.

By definition, translation jobs have both a source language and a target language. In order to leverage tools such as a translation memory (TM), we need both of these languages to be available in the workflow.

Given that an Adobe® InDesign® document is monolingual, we will need both our original source-language document and a separate target-language document. The target-language document is named a Version.

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

Assign a Workflow

In this example, we are starting from scratch with an empty workflow, which you can then save as a Workflow Template afterwards.

There are two ways to assign a new (empty) workflow to this document:

  1. via the Option Menu: Click Assign Empty Workflow in the Document option menu.
  2. via the Footprints icon: Click on the Footprints icon.

NOTE: Click Assign Workflow from Template in the option menu to use an existing Workflow Template.

If there are no Content Groups in your source-language document, you will see this message when trying to assign a workflow.

You must create and populate your Content Groups in the source-language document to define what parts of the document can be edited in a workflow. Then you can add the workflow.

NOTE: If you create a Content Group, but do not assign content to it, a workflow can be assigned. However, no jobs will appear, because there will be no content to edit.

Workflow Track

When you assign an empty workflow to a document, there will be one Workflow Track for each Content Group.

  1. One Workflow Track per Content Group : When assigning an empty workflow to a document, one2edit™ automatically creates a workflow track for each Content Group that exists within the source-language document. Each workflow track must have the same name (case sensitive) as the Content Group to which it applies.
  2. Footprints icon becomes Play icon: The Footprints icon changes into a Play button once the document has a workflow. This button is used to start/pause the workflow.
  3. Job Handling: Choose if this workflow should Combine Jobs or Split Jobs.
