Create Target tool
The Create Target tool ensures every block has a target segment for a given locale. It is the standard first step when preparing content for translation: it creates the empty (or source-seeded) target containers that later tools — translation, leverage, QA — fill and check.
A target locale is required. By default existing targets are left untouched; enable overwriting to replace them. Targets can be created for non-translatable blocks as well, which keeps bilingual structure complete across an entire document.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
copySource | boolean | false | Copy the source runs into the new target |
createOnNonTranslatable | boolean | true | Create a target even for non-translatable text units |
overwrite | boolean | false | Overwrite the existing target if one already exists |
targetLocale | string | Target locale to create |
Configure these parameters interactively and copy the flow-step YAML on the Tool Reference.
