Excluding references in Translation Project

OOTB, when we include a Page in a Translation Project, language copies are also created for all referenced assets.

 

We have tried Exclude Children option also in Translation Project, but no luck.

 

Requesting suggestions on how we can exclude the Language copy creation for references, when needed. And include when needed.

Hello @learningneverstops 

 

We can skip Translation of references by updating Translation configs.

 

By default, its present at: 

 

For Pages, select "Do not Translate" for "Translate Page Assets" dropdown

Similar config "is also present in Assets tab for references used in Content Fragments 

 

After edit, new location would be:

You can also create configs under your project specific folder

 

Please note, once "Do not translate" option is configured, reference paths would not be localized either. That is an image path "/content/dam/en/abc.jpg" would not be automatically updated to "/content/dam/de/abc.jpg"

You need to exclude assets from the translation to avoid creating language copies of assets.

To do this you need to update the translation integration config for your project.

Under Assets tab Select translation method as "Do Not Translate" and uncheck "Translate Assets" checkbox.
