Terminology
2 minute read
| Asset | Any content or document being sent for translation, including metadata. Assets are created by the Connector. |
| Content API Platform | The hosted connectivity platform that receives and routes content from content systems, including content management systems (CMSs), to translation providers and back during implementation. The Lionbridge Connector Team configures the Platform based on the number and nature of systems involved in your system architecture. |
| Freeway | The name of the Lionbridge translation portal for submitting content to and retrieving content from the Lionbridge translation provider. |
| FTP Server | File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. Translation providers may receive and send files for translation using an FTP server. |
| Keys | The Connector uses keys to establish a secure, discrete connection between the Connector instance and the Platform. Very important Do not use the same account keys on multiple instances, because this is a violation of the License Agreement. Using the same account keys on multiple instances will cause the Connector to behave unexpectedly, which can result in lost translation content, orphaned projects, and inaccurate translation status reports. The Lionbridge Connector team will support technical issues caused by duplicating or incorrectly installing CMS address keys only on a time and materials basis.** |
| Lionbridge | The publisher of the Freeway translation portal and a translation provider. Users connect to the Freeway translation portal to submit content to and retrieve content from the Lionbridge translation provider. |
