Running the installer to install Translation Manager

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 or SDL WorldServer
  • 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 does not install Translation Manager. You do not need to install Translation Manager if you explicitly selected this feature when you installed the Content Manager Server, except if you want to outscale components.

Procedure

  1. Access the SDL Web installation media.
  2. Navigate to the Content Manager\ directory.
  3. Double-click the executable SDLWeb85CM.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 core software components; that is, it does not by default install User Generated Content, Translation Manager, Experience Optimization and Audience Manager, or any legacy features.)
    • 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: %PROGRAMDATA%\SDL\SDLWeb\Logs\.

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 %TRIDION_HOME%\config\.
