Before you use Domino Global WorkBench to configure document synchronization, you must have one or more localized databases from a source database. The synchronization process starts by using DGW to add synchronization features to either a multilingual database, or to a set of unilingual databases. The first step is to set a status for each form in the database. The status you set specifies how documents created from that form are to be handled by the synchronizing process -- whether the form is used to create Global, Local, or Translatable documents. The synchronization process continues when the site is rolled out to content providers.
After a synchronized application is deployed on a Domino server, the Synchronizer, running on a predefined schedule -- every half hour, hourly, every 10 hours, daily, and so forth -- tracks the status of each newly created, updated, or deleted document. The synchronizer performs the appropriate actions to start a translation workflow that will eventually conclude with the publishing of the appropriate documents in their respective languages.
You can optimize database synchronization to facilitate viewing documents based on the database language and to improve the translation workflow for processes such as:
-
sending documents to translators
-
having translated documents submitted for review, approval, and Web publication.
