Running the installer

You install Translation Manager by running the Content Manager Server installer

Before you begin

When you run the installer, you are prompted to provide the following:
  • The details of your translation system: SDL TMS, SDL WorldServer, or SDL BeGlobal
  • The database details and database user credentials of the Translation Manager database you created using the PowerShell script

About this task

By default, the Content Manager installer installs all software components. You will therefore only need to install Translation Manager if you chose not to when you installed the Content Manager Server, or when you want to outscale components.

Procedure

  1. Access the SDL Tridion installation media.
  2. Navigate to the Content Manager\ directory.
  3. Double-click the executable SDLTridion2013SP1CM.exe.
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen:
    • You can select individual software components to install by choosing the Advanced option (by default, the installer installs all software components).
    • You can install software components you choose not to install by running the installer again and selecting the Modify option.
  5. After the installer finishes, if the installer does not prompt you to restart your machine, perform a manual reboot.

Results

The installer has created a log file in the following location:

  • the subdirectory SDL\Tridion\Logs\ of the path indicated by the %PROGRAMDATA% environment variable (defaults to c:\ProgramData\).

The following software components are installed for Translation Manager.

  • Content Manager Explorer Translation Extension
  • Translation Manager core
  • Translation Manager Service

What to do next

The settings you specified are stored in the Translation Manager configuration file TranslationManager.xml located by default in your Tridion installation \config directory.
