Setting up SDL WorldServer
If you are using SDL WorldServer as your translation system, you need to define Locales, Clients, Project Types, Workflows and a Filter Group for ITS before you can configure Content Manager for translation.
Note: This section provides an overview of the essential configuration tasks only. For detailed information on configuration, see the SDL WorldServer documentation.
- Defining Custom component application its+xml
To handle translations from the Content Manager correctly, you need to create a custom component to process assets with a Tridion extension. - Defining Filter Group ITS
Filter configurations determines how the translatable assets for the project are processed. The Filter Group uses a custom component to extract the translatable text in Tridion assets. - Creating Project Types
A Project Type is a template for creating projects. - Defining Custom component Translated Content Retrieval
To handle translations from the Content Manager correctly, you need to create a Custom component called Translated Content Retrieval which you then need to include in your Workflow. - Defining Workflow
You need to define Workflows for your SDL Tridion translations that include certain workflow steps. - Creating Clients
A Client represents a group of users who require translation services. A client can comprise an entire organization, or a department within an organization. You need to set up clients and associate them with Project Types. - Creating Locales
A locale is a user defined combination of a language specific to a place (such as English spoken in the United States) and a default encoding that is used to store content in this language (such as ISO-8559 or UTF-8).
