Implementing Translation Manager
Translation Manager allows you to send content stored in the Content Manager of Tridion Sites for translation to a translation management system. This section explains how to make Translation Manager work in your business environment.
- Translation Manager system diagram
Translation Manager integrates Content Manager with a supported RWS translation system. - Setting up Trados Enterprise
If you are using Trados Enterprise as your translation system, there are steps to be performed in both systems to complete the integration. - Setting up TMS
If you are using Translation Management System (TMS) as your translation system, you need to create a TMS configuration that specifies the Language Pairs, Workflows, TMS Content Types, TMs and TM Sequences to use, before you can configure Content Manager for translation. - Setting up WorldServer
If you are using WorldServer as your translation system, you need to perform a number of tasks in WorldServer before you can configure Content Manager for translation. Refer to the documentation of WorldServer to learn what to do for an integration with Tridion Sites. - Setting up the Tridion extension for Language Weaver
The Language Weaver extension provides quick machine translations to optimize and reduce the cost of the translation process. The machine translations can be used as a first step with a post-edit to produce quality translations or can be used with no post-edit, perhaps as an interim translation where the value of a traditional translation is determined to be needed. Setting up the Tridion extension for Language Weaver involves initial server-side installation through the Add-ons Service, followed by some additional configuration, as needed. - Configuring Translation Manager
This section describes the elements in the TranslationManager.xml file on the Content Manager server. - BluePrinting and translation
The design of your BluePrint hierarchy needs to reflect your translation strategy because the structure defined by your BluePrint drives translations and dictates the translation flow. This section explains the concept of BluePrinting and how the design of your BluePrint hierarchy needs to reflect your translation strategy. - Configuring source and target content
To be able to send content for translation from Content Manager, you need to specify source content which is sent to the translation management system and target content which receives the translated content. - Translation Manager workflows
A translation workflow is a workflow process within Translation Manager that represents how each translation job flows through your organization during the translation process. - Triggering translations
You can trigger a translation in two ways, from Workflow or from the Event System. - Controlling content sent for translation
Translation Manager has various properties and settings that allow you to control the content that is sent for translation and how to send it to your translation management system. - Purging Translation Jobs
The<PurgeJobDaysOld>element in the TranslationManager.xml file specifies the number of days after which a Completed or Canceled Translation Job is purged from the Translation Job Queue.
