Translations.com is a world-leading translation company that provides professional services including website translation. The mode of translation is mostly carried on manually by a group of professionals proficient in different languages. It provides a very powerful and flexible system to manage multi-lingual content known as the GlobalLink Translation Management System.
As the translation process involves manual activities at Translation.com, the translation is an asynchronous process in Jahia DX. In Jahia DX a background job is triggered to submit the selected pages to translations.com and update the multilingual content upon retrieval.
This document describes the use of GlobalLink Translator Provider (Translations.com) with Jahia DX and is intended for users with Site Administrator and Content Editor privileges. Site Administrators can install and configure the GlobalLink Translation plugins, and the Content Editors can send the content to the translations.com with the help of GlobalLink APIs for translation.
To install the module, follow the below steps:
Once installed you need to activate the module on the site you want to use it.
To enable translation the site must have multilingual support. To enable multilingual support follow the below steps,
Before the site can send request to GlobalLink translator for translation, the GlobalLink module must be configured with required metadata and authentication information for the site. It is assumed that before to this the site owner must have acquired the required subscription account from GlobalLink.
The configuration information can be set with the following steps;
Parameters
After the GlobalLink translator is configured successfully, now the pages can be sent for translation. Currently the modules selected in the Translations “Settings” page are submitted for translation.
In the following example, a page is created named “GL Test” with some rich text content written in English (refer the top right corner).
To send a page for translation right click on the page on the content tree (left) in Edit Mode. From the context menu select “GlobalLink Translation”option (marked in red). Which will trigger to create a new GlobalLink Request for translation for the selected page.
In the GlobalLink Request creation screen, select the source and target languages for translation along with brief remark to the translation team.
Once a source language is selected, you can select target languages by selecting and adding them to the right panel.
You can also translate the subpages by clicking the option “Translate subpages”.
You can also avoid submitting already translated content by clikcing the option "Skip Already Translated Content". This takes into account that the content exists in the targeted language(s) not that it has already been submitted to GlobalLink.
Click Save to create a translation request.
After the creation of the translation request, the system will send the page content to translations.com internally and will wait for receiving the translated content. After receiving, the content will be populated for the translated language.
In this case, as we are using a test account the translation would be a dummy fake text.
At any point of time to check status of any request, use the following GlobalLink Project Requests dashboard in your site settings.
