Sending Website Pages for Translation from the Hybris WCMS Cockpit (Hybris 6.1 to 6.6)

Note: This functionality is supported only for Hybris versions 6.1 to 6.6.

Note: In all supported versions of Hybris, you can also send website pages for translation from the Hybris Backoffice. For detailed instructions, see Sending Website Pages for Translation from the Hybris Backoffice.

You use the Connector to send out website pages (“pages”) for translation from the Hybris WCMS Cockpit.

When the Connector sends out pages for translation, it actually sends out the configured localized attributes of the content in that page for translation.

Each localized attribute of a business object that is sent out for translation is a content item.

Note: Although you can view non-localized attributes and select them to send them out for translation, the Connector does not actually send out non-localized attributes for translation.

Note: You configure which business objects and corresponding localized attributes you can send out for translation in the Content Mapping page. For detailed instructions, refer to the Lionbridge Connector for SAP Commerce Installation and Configuration Guide.
