Workday recommends configuring an approval step for the Machine Translation Event
business process. Configuring this step:

Ensures administrators or reviewers are notified if translated text exceeds the character limits for certain onboarding attributes.

Allows for a human in the loop review of machine translated content.

Administrators or translators with the required domain access can automatically translate onboarding components. If you have configured an approval step, reviewers with access to the Machine Translation Event
business process can access the translations when they are notified in
