Using the AEM connector
The way you use your AEM connector depends on your translation needs. The actual translation workflow is defined based on each customer's business requirements.
The basic translation end-to-end flow for the AEM connector - Trados integration is captured below:
- Creating projects by using the RWS user interface for AEM
The pages presented as part of this section deliver the translation experience for AEM users, helping them to create and manage their translation projects. - Creating projects with the AEM connector
When you create a translation project via the AEM connector, you select the pages, assets and other AEM items you want to translate. You can also select and add tags, metadata, images, and content fragments or these elements will be added automatically based on the settings in the AEM Translation Integration configuration set by your AEM administrator. - Automating options for the AEM connector project creation
You can automate several project creation options by specifying custom user settings on the Translation Projects Overview page. - Managing projects
You can perform several project actions depending on the project status. - Project status mapping
The AEM connector uses a set of statuses to display the progress of the translation project to the user in AEM. The mapping table below uses a mix of AEM workflow statuses and Trados Customer Portal API statuses to show the progress of an end-to-end project. - Project validation
When the content is submitted for translation via the AEM connector, the integration performs several validations. - Project handling
During creation, progress, completion and cancellation, there are several ways the projects are handled. - Project handling - advanced
During creation, progress, completion and cancellation, there are several ways the projects are handled if you specify various advanced options. - Notifications
The AEM connector uses notifications to help you monitor potential errors. - Notification cleaning
In certain exceptional cases, users may receive a large number of notifications. To assist with removing the notifications, we have provided a Clean Notifications scheduled job and a button that you can use to clean notifications in bulk whenever you need. - AEM preview in Trados Online Editor
If the Preview option is set to Enabled in the connector configuration screen, AEM will create one or more preview packages for the files sent for translation and these will be uploaded by the connector as part of the project. They are uploaded as reference files, but will not be visible under the project itself.
