Automating translation projects

When enabled, the automation feature involves the automatic creation of projects in Trados when any page, component, category, or product is added or updated in the SAP Commerce backend.

Procedure

  1. Open your Trados configuration and select the Automation tab.
  2. Under Enable Automation, select True.
  3. In the Project Name Prefix box, enter a prefix for your projects.
    Every time the connector creates a project in Trados, the name of the project will be a combination of this prefix and the corresponding time stamp. For example, if you enter the Trados_Automation prefix, a possible project name might be as follows: Trados_Automation_2024_01_29_11_53_22.
  4. Select the appropriate project template and language directions.
  5. Create a cron job to schedule and trigger the translation project automatically:
    1. Select a cron job from the menu.
    2. Fill in the required details, and then select Finish.

Results

If any page, component, category, or product is added or updated, the connector initiates the creation of a project in Trados. The project is also displayed in the project list in SAP Commerce Cloud.
