Steps: Enable Users to Request Translations

Steps: Enable Users to Request Translations

Configure your tenant for translations.
You can configure the
Request Translation
 business process to enable the
Translation
Request Translation
 related action for translatable business objects , such as organizations or job profiles. Members of security groups with access to the
Initiation
 action on the
Request Translation
 business process can:
  • Request translations for a business object.
  • Review or approve steps in the business process.
Workday enables you to provide an additional layer of security beyond the business process security policy to control who can request translations for business objects using the
Request Translation Security Configuration
 task.
  1. Configure the
    Request Translation
     business process definition.
  2. Configure the
    Request Translation
     business process security policy.
  3. (Optional) Access the
    Request Translation Security Configuration
     task.
    Specify the security configuration and security groups that can request translations for each translatable business object. You can select 2 types of security configurations:
    • Restrictive Configuration
      : Only the security groups you specify can request translations for the selected translatable business objects.
    • Open Configuration
      : In addition to the security groups you specify for the selected translatable business objects, all security groups on the business process security policy can request translations for any other translatable business objects.
    Example: You can use the
    Restrictive Configuration
     option to allow only HR Administrators to request translations for job profiles.
    Security:
    Data Translation
     domain in the System functional area.
  4. Activate Pending Security Policy Changes.
Users with the appropriate security access can use the
Translation
Request Translation
 related action to request business object translations.
Workday routes the translation request to the roles configured on the
Request Translation
 business process for review and approval. If the translatable object isn't valid for constrained groups and the business process step is routed to a role-based security group, Workday won't assign the step. When translations are approved, they become automatically available in the tenant.
To load translations from a sandbox tenant into a production tenant, use an iLoad or EIB integration with the
Get Translatable Tenant Data Public
 and
Put Translatable Tenant Data Public
 web services.
