Work With Translation Batches

If you already know which entries belong together, start in Contentful, not in Inverb.

Create a batch

1. In Contentful, add one or more tags to the top-level entries you want in the batch.
2. In Inverb, open Translations and click New Batch.
3. Add those Contentful tags to Include tags.
4. Optionally add Exclude tags if some tagged entries should stay out of the run.
5. Check the preview counts for matching entries and translation requests.
6. Choose target locales, model, and whether auto push or auto publish should be enabled.
7. Create the batch and monitor it from the Translations screen.

Important batch selection rules

• Batch selection is tag-based.
• The tag rule only resolves against the project's configured top-level content types.
• The batch membership is fixed when you create it. Changing tags later does not silently rewrite the batch.

If expected entries do not appear in the preview, check the project's top-level content type settings before creating the batch.

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.
