Translate content id181GB0400UI
Automate the translation of page content, assets, and user-generated content to create and maintain multilingual websites. To automate translation workflows, you integrate translation service providers with AEM and create projects for translating content into multiple languages. AEM supports human and machine translation workflows.
-
Human translation: Content is sent to your translation provider and translated by professional translators. When complete, the translated content is returned and imported into AEM. When your translation provider is integrated with AEM, content is automatically exchanged between AEM and the translation provider
-
Machine translation: The machine translation service immediately translates your content
Translating content involves the following steps:
-
Connect AEM with your translation service provider and create translation integration framework configurations.
-
Associate the pages of your language master with the translation service and framework configurations.
-
Identify the type of content to translate.
-
Prepare the content for translation by authoring the language master and creating the root pages of language copies.
-
Create translation projects to gather the content to translate and to prepare the translation process.
-
Use the translation projects to manage the content translation process.
When your translation service provider does not provide a connector to integration with AEM, then AEM supports the manual export and import of translated content in XML format.
Configure the Translation tab on the DITA map dashboard
The Hide Translation Tab option is not enabled by default and you need to enable this from the configMgr. To hide the Translation tab on the DITA map dashboard, perform the following steps:
-
Open the Adobe Experience Manager Web Console Configuration page.
The default URL to access the configuration page is:
code language-http http://<server name>:<port>/system/console/configMgr -
Search for and click on the com.adobe.fmdita.config.ConfigManager bundle.
-
Select the Hide Translation Tab option, to hide the translation tab on the map dashboard.
note note NOTE This property is disabled by default and the translation tab is available on the map dashboard. -
Click Save.
Configure component-based translation workflow
If the connector for the translation vendor does not support DITA content, then the component-based translation workflow needs to be enabled. Once enabled, the translatable content is sent as asset metadata. However, the connector needs to support asset metadata translation for this workflow to work.
Based on the translation workflow used in your setup, the component-based translation workflow option should be configured as follows:
-
Open the Adobe Experience Manager Web Console Configuration page.
The default URL to access the configuration page is:
code language-http http://<server name>:<port>/system/console/configMgr -
Search for and click on the com.adobe.fmdita.config.ConfigManager bundle.
-
Configure the Component-Based DITA Translation Workflow option as per your setup:
-
If you are using human translation, then Disable the Component-Based Translation Workflow option.
-
If you are using machine translation, then Enable the Component-Based Translation Workflow option.
note note NOTE If you are using translation connector, then ensure that you have configured the connector as described in the Configuring the Translation Integration Framework topic in AEM documentation. -
-
Click Save.
Configure the legacy translation workflow
By default, the legacy translation workflow option is disabled. You can configure this option by performing the following steps:
-
Open the Adobe Experience Manager Web Console Configuration page.
The default URL to access the configuration page is:
code language-http http://<server name>:<port>/system/console/configMgr -
Search for and click on the com.adobe.fmdita.config.ConfigManager bundle.
-
Configure the legacy translation workflow option as per your setup:
- (Default) If you want to use the latest translation workflow, then Disable the Run legacy translation workflow option.
- If you want to use the legacy translation workflow, then Enable the Run legacy translation workflow option.
-
Click Save.
Configure post-processing of temporary language copies
When you initiate the translation workflow, the system creates temporary language copies of the source content. You can choose to enable or disable the post-processing operation on these temporary files. In the post-processing operation, the incoming and outgoing references from the files are resolved, the document state is set, along with other operations. If you enable post-processing on these temporary files, the translation process could take longer time to complete. Therefore, it is recommended to keep post-processing option disabled.
By default, the post-processing of temporary files option is disabled. You can configure this option by perform the following steps:
-
Open the Adobe Experience Manager Web Console Configuration page.
The default URL to access the configuration page is:
code language-http http://<server name>:<port>/system/console/configMgr -
Search for and click on the com.adobe.fmdita.config.ConfigManager bundle.
-
Configure the Post-process language copies option as per your setup:
-
(Default) If you do not want to run the post-processing operation on the temporary files, then Disable the Post-process language copies option.
-
If you want to run the post-processing operation on the temporary files, then Enable the Post-process language copies option.
