Author-it Localization Manager uses multiple target libraries:

 

Localization-MultipleLibraries

Author-it Localization Manager copies the source content from the main library to all target libraries and you conduct localizations on the copied content in each target library.

You use the Author-it Localization Manager interface to perform localization tasks between target libraries and translators.

Translations Single library:

The use of variants makes it possible and preferable to use a single variant-based library.

Each localization is a Variant of the primary (source) content. To use the software effectively, you need to understand Variants and associated functionality.

You can use the Localization Migration Plugin to migrate content from your existing target libraries to your Author-it source library.

You manage all localization life-cycle tasks from Translations's browser interface.
