How the Connector Helps You Manage Your Translation Lifecycle

  2 minute read  

The Lionbridge Connector for Adobe Experience Manager (Connector) is a plug-in module for Adobe Experience Manager. It provides a range of features and user interface enhancements in Adobe Experience Manager that enable you to select, send, monitor, and retrieve content for translation into any language Adobe Experience Manager supports.

These features automate the process, which dramatically reduces the effort and time required to export and re-import content that needs to be localized. This is very helpful when translating large volumes of content or ensuring that translated content is quickly re-imported to meet deadlines.

When you use the Connector, you manage your translation lifecycle entirely from within Adobe Experience Manager:

  1. The Connector exports your content from Adobe Experience Manager in XML format and delivers these content files to the central, hosted Content API Platform.

  2. The Content API Platform delivers your content to your translation providers, based on routing rules that your company chooses and the Lionbridge Connector Team implements.

  3. When the translated content is ready, the Content API Platform retrieves it from your translators and delivers it to the Connector.

  4. The Connector automatically re-imports the content into the correct location in Adobe Experience Manager.

You can then review, revise, reject, or publish the translated content as needed.

Note: Neither the Connector nor the Content API Platform performs any translation. Similarly, the Lionbridge Connector Team does not provide any translation services. Your company chooses the translation provider that performs the translation.
