Get Manifest during translation job always returns "0% complete" until completion

Viewed 108

When I start the translation job of a freshly uploaded file, I want to keep track of the translation progress. As written in the force documentation, I call GET:Manifest and check the progress state in the response which is always "0% complete". I call GET:Manifest once per second until the translation is completed, but I never got a different progress than "0% complete". Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

The Model Derivative service can translate over 60 different file formats, and it's possible that for certain "less traditional" formats the translation is unable to report any granular progress, therefore only showing 0% followed by 100%.

Note that you can also use the Webhooks API to get notified of the translation progress or completion instead of polling the derivative manifest.
