# Sending for translation

> Describes about different Uniform entity types and Smartling integration UI to send that content for translation

Source: https://docs.uniform.app/docs/integrations/translation-management/smartling/sending-for-translation

After you've installed and configured the integration, you are ready to send your content for translation.

We support translations of all our entity types:

- [Composition](https://docs.uniform.app/docs/guides/composition/compositions)
- [Composition Pattern](https://docs.uniform.app/docs/guides/patterns/composition-patterns)
- [Component Pattern](https://docs.uniform.app/docs/guides/patterns/component-patterns)
- [Entry](https://docs.uniform.app/docs/guides/composition/entries)
- [Entry Pattern](https://docs.uniform.app/docs/guides/patterns/entry-patterns)

And these two parameter/field types:

- [Text](https://docs.uniform.app/docs/guides/models/components/parameters#text)
- [Rich Text](https://docs.uniform.app/docs/guides/models/components/parameters#rich-text)

You will see Smartling icon in the left side rail:

A drawer will appear with a list of incomplete Smartling translation jobs. Each job can contain multiple locales. The progress and status of each job are also provided. The **View All** button underneath the table allows you to see all jobs related to the current entity.

If the current entity (e.g., composition) has some patterns or entries attached to it, you will see separate referenced job lists.

To send your source locale of current entity to Smartling for translations:

- Click **Add translation jobs**
- (Optional) Select due date
- Select Uniform Locale to translate to (only mapped locales in integration settings are allowed)

> **Nothing to translate:**
>
> In some cases, some or all locales could not be sent for translation:
>
> - There is no valid field to translate. For example, the field is not configured as localizable.
> - We do not translate already translated content, so if a field value is different from the source locale and not empty, it will not be sent for translation.

## Re-translate or override

In order to re-translate certain fields, you'd need to delete its value in target language and create a new translation job for that translation locale.

If you would like to update the whole entity - please delete whole locale within entity and send it again.
