    Active languages appear in the New Article and Submit for Translation dialog boxes.

    The active/inactive status determines whether a published article is visible. For example, if Spanish articles are published to your partner portal and then you make Spanish an inactive language, the articles no longer appear.

    Default Assignee The default assignee is automatically assigned articles submitted for translation. The default assignee can be either an individual person or a queue.
