Workflow
Work With Translation Batches
Monitor translation work at scale with batches, request states, and optional automation for push and publish.

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 pushauto 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
- Validate one or two entries manually first.
- Run a small batch in one locale.
- Turn on
auto pushonce review quality is stable. - Add
auto publishonly after the Contentful side is well understood.
