The machine translation service receives translation jobs from SharePoint content and other sources that get translated in batches. The frequency of translating these batches as well as other configuration options, such as connecting through a web proxy, may be configured for the machine translation service.
There are many configuration options for the machine translation service. In this recipe, we will only focus on the interval at which the queued translation jobs are processed.
Follow these steps to configure the machine translation timer jobs:
15
:The machine translation service uses a SharePoint timer job to process queued translation requests. The default interval at which this job runs is 15 minutes. This can be configured to run more or less frequently. The machine translation service can use a considerable amount of resources on the server. These settings allow us to adjust the translation service based on the needs of the implementation.
The machine translation service configuration options may also be set using PowerShell. Follow these steps to configure the machine translation timer job using PowerShell:
Get-SPServiceApplication
Cmdlet to obtain the unique identifier for the machine translation service application on the local farm:Get-SPServiceApplication
You will see a screen similar to the one shown in the following screenshot after issuing the preceding command:
Set-SPTranslationServiceApplication
Cmdlet to set the timer job frequency, replace Identity
with the unique identity from the previous step:Set-SPTranslationServiceApplication –Identity bc6a1336-3e12-49e0-bb4b-4d159b7670c8 –TimerJobFrequency 15
