Translation Manager prerequisites

This topic lists the required and supported software for Translation Manager.

Content Manager side prerequisites
Translation Manager is fully integrated into the Content Manager and is installed as a part of the Content Manager installation, therefore Content Manager server prerequisites apply.
Database prerequisites on Content Manager side

The Translation Manager requires a database server for storing Translation Jobs created in the Content Manager.

The Translation Jobs database supports the same database servers and database Cloud hosting services as the Content Manager database. Support for a Cloud database requires you to install the translation jobs database into the same database as Content Manager, and Translation Manager and Content Manager must run under the same account.

For Oracle, you require in addition the Oracle XML Developer Kit installed (in a default installation, this is installed automatically). Refer to Content Manager database server prerequisites for details.
