14. ●
It makes a POST call to
/etc/workflow/instances that resolves to
com.adobe.granite.workflow.console.ser
vlet.InstancesServlet
●
It requires language root page of target
language to be present. For example, to
translate some page in en to fr, fr root
page should exist. Rest of the hierarchy
is automatically created.

translation/update_language_copy/jcr:co
ntent/model
●
This triggers translation but does not

It is the process of pushing translated
content from launch to target language
page
●
This step follows content review
●
Makes a call to /bin/wcmcommand
cmd : promoteLaunch
path : /contet/mypage
