Configuring Translation Manager Service user account

The <ServiceTcmUserName> element in the TranslationManager.xml file specifies the Tridion Sites account that the Translation Manager Service uses to access the Content Manager.

About this task

The Translation Manager Service requires an Tridion Sites user account to read the BluePrint structure and to retrieve and store content. The user account should be an existing Tridion Sites user account or system account and must have the following minimum permissions/rights:
  • Be able to read content in all Source Publications (Publications that contain translation sources)
  • Be able to read/write/localize in all Target Publications (Publications that are translation targets)
  • Have Administrator rights, if the Review and Preview functionality is going to be used

Procedure

  1. Open the TranslationManager.xml file in a text editor.
    By default, the file is located in your %TRIDION_HOME%\config directory.
  2. In the <ServiceTcmUserName> section, enter the user name and domain. For example:
    <ServiceTcmUserName>TridionSites\UserName</ServiceTcmUserName>
  3. Save and close the file.
