Deprecated Translation Manager functionality

This topic describes Translation Manager functionality that is deprecated in SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.

Deprecation of COM-based API
The COM-based API Translation Manager called from the TOM-based Event System and TOM-based Templates is deprecated; use the .NET API which can call the TOM.NET-based Event System and TOM.NET-based Templates.
Deprecation of Publication Configuration (Translation Manager .NET API.)
You can now configure translations on Organizational Items as well as on Publications. To reflect this change, Tridion.TranslationManager.DomainModel.Api.PublicationConfiguration is deprecated; use Tridion.TranslationManager.DomainModel.Api.TranslationConfiguration instead.
Deprecation of ANL files
The use of ANL files is deprecated. You should now set which fields you want translated in your Schemas. Translatable fields are sent in ITS (Internationalization Tag Set) so your translation system must support ITS (SDL WorldServer 10.1 or SDL TMS 2011 SP1 onwards). ANL files remain supported for older versions of SDL TMS.
After upgrading, you need to configure your Schemas, set other translation properties, configure the TranslationManager.xml file, and configure your translation system to use ITS. For more information, refer to the upgrade documentation for SDL Tridion 2011 SP1.
