Global Settings

warning

In Umbraco v.9 and v.10 you cannot edit these settings directly via the backoffice, you must update these settings in the AppSetting.json file

These are settings that can be set globally for all translations.

These are found in Settings -> Translation Manager.

Settings

Setting	Description
Translate on Save	Saves the changes that have been made into the Pending queue.
Background Check	Periodically checks the status of submitted Jobs automatically.
Check Period	The number specifies how often the background check occurs.
Include Empty Nodes	Include nodes with no translatable text in jobs.
Batch Size	Number of items to process in a batch (if you are experiencing timeouts, try lowering the number).
Update links	When content is approved, links will update to match the target site.

Umbraco 9

In Umbraco 9 the global settings are read from the appsettings.json file.

tip

All these settings will have a default value and do not need set within the appsettings file, unless you are overriding the default setting.
