GlobalLink Project Director Adaptor for EPiServer
EPiServer CMS - the world's fastest growing commercial CMS platform - is a fast, flexible and robust Web Content Management system that is used by thousands of organizations and companies around the world for managing their Web sites and intranets.
Translations.com's flagship Globalization Management System, GlobalLink Project Director, now offers a workflow adaptor for EPiServer, providing users with a powerful
solution to initiate, automate, control, complete and track all facets of the translation process. The unique combination of the robust EPiServer CMS functionality and the extended localization workflow capabilities of Project Director gives EPiServer customers a comprehensive platform to manage web content for markets around the globe.
TRANSLATION MEMORY
GlobalLink Project Director is a solution that allows EPiServer users to utilize translation memory (TM) assets directly within the EPiServer environment. Through integration with the optional GlobalLink TM Server module, previously translated content can be leveraged, leaving only added or changed content for the translator to work on. GlobalLink TM Server is a tool that stores previously translated content as the translator works, allowing clients to re-use content where appropriate. The use of TM accelerates turnaround time, helps to maintain brand consistency in terminology and style, and significantly reduces costs.
PROJECT DIRECTOR ADAPTOR FOR EPISERVER AT A GLANCE
Seamless Integration
Business users can initiate translation workflows in GlobalLink without having to leave the EPiServer user interface. The adaptor provides a Translation Project Creation Wizard to create a Globallink Translation Project for a page, a node and any child nodes and/or pages. Upon retrieval, translated pages can be configured to be automatically imported into the EPiServer site tree and published. Within EPiServer, the user can access reports of which pages were submitted, see their current status and access
translation history for each individual page.
Automatic Scheduling
The administrator can configure the translation scheduler service to run on EPiServer on a pre-defined schedule, sending and retrieving translation projects as well as updating status for each project as it moves through the translation process.
Change Detection
GlobalLink integration with EPiServer offers users the ability to easily identify and route new or changed content for translation for any chosen language pair, avoiding accidentally sending already translated pages twice. This feature allows clients to automatically keep their translated sites in sync with the source.
Rapid Return on Investment
GlobalLink Project Director provides immediate relief to IT departments and business users overburdened by the complex demands of supporting manual initiation and control of multilingual content workflows. The integrated solution also provides better visibility into the localization process for budgetary analysis.
Non-Captive
GlobalLink Project Director is independent of language services provider and can be used with Translations.com as the services provider, using a mix of providers, or a mix of external providers and inhouse staff.
