Deprecated Translation Manager functionality

This topic describes Translation Manager functionality that is deprecated in SDL Web 8.5.

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 PlugInAssemblies
The PlugInAssemblies element in the TranslationManager.xml file is deprecated. Replacing this plugin system is triggering translations from the Event System.
Deprecation of BusinessUnits
The BusinessUnits element in the TranslationManager.xml file is deprecated. Replacing this concept is Translation Job metadata.
