Workflow

Work With Translation Batches

Monitor translation work at scale with batches, request states, and optional automation for push and publish.

1 min readUpdated Mar 21, 2026

The Translations screen is the control panel for batch work.

What a batch gives you

A batch groups related translation requests so the team can track progress in one place.

You can see:

  • translation status
  • push status
  • publish status
  • target locales
  • request counts by state

Auto push and auto publish

When creating or updating a batch, you can enable:

  • auto push
  • auto publish

Use those only when you trust the workflow for that content set. They are best for repeatable, lower-risk work after the team has already validated the same pattern manually.

Operational controls

The batch page supports the usual queue-management actions:

  • pause
  • resume
  • retry failed
  • cancel
  • archive

That lets the team react without rebuilding a release from scratch.

Recommended batch rollout

  1. Validate one or two entries manually first.
  2. Run a small batch in one locale.
  3. Turn on auto push once review quality is stable.
  4. Add auto publish only after the Contentful side is well understood.
