@andrewb51216333 You can enable binaryless translation to save storage/space, while creating language copies for assets.
I followed these 2 docs for AEM 6.5 (AMS):
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/assets/administer/best-practices-for-translating-assets-efficiently.html
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/administering/introduction/tc-tic.html
Here is what I did on my instance:
- disabled xmp write back workflow launcher
- enabled out-of-the-box "Set last modified date" workflow launcher
- created a translation integration config. Go to Tools - Cloud Service - Translation Cloud Services
- In this config, make sure you uncheck the box for translating assets, and only enable it for tags and metadata (if desired). Also, set it to "Auto Execute Translation"
- apply that config to the folder containing your language folders.
- When doing translation for the first time, need to create translation project, and project can be re-used for all future translations. multi-lingual projects can also be used if needed.
Check for dam:sha1 property- should be same for all assets, signifying a binaryless translation.
