Create a project

Select your CMS. If you have a CMS connector which is not listed then choose "Other CMS". You will then need to do one additional step later. This is described in the CMS connector's user guide.

Choose the source language and the target languages configured in your CMS site. Make sure languages match exactly:

• If your CMS uses regional variants such as "German (Germany)" (en-DE) or "English (United States)" (en-US) then select regional variants in the Beebox too.
• If your CMS uses base codes such as "German" (de) or "English" (en) then do the same in the Beebox.

Note: Some Wordbee CMS connectors (e.g. WordPress) allow transforming web site languages to Beebox languages (e.g. "en" in CMS to "en-US" in Beebox). Refer to the respective CMS connector guide.

Decide how content is translated:

• Testing: Use to try how the CMS, the CMS connector and the Beebox work in unison. All content will be pseudo-translated by converting it to uppercase.
• Machine translation: All content will be translated by a machine translation system like Google or Microsoft. You will be asked to choose one.
• Human translation using Wordbee Translator: All content will be sent to your own translation management system (TMS) or that of your translation service provider.
• Human translation using xliff hotfolders: All content will be sent to a TMS by means of xliff files which are exchanged via hotfolders. Some third party TMS support this.
• Human translation using manual xliff exchange: Translation is done using xliff. You download xliff files and send to your translators.

If you are a Beebox expert you can fine tune or change workflows anytime later. For example to combine machine and human translation.

The Beebox processes content sent by the CMS in regular intervals. Specify this interval.

For a test workflow you may want to chose a small interval like 10 seconds or 5 minutes to reduce wait times. During production we recommend to choose 30 minutes or more.

Applicable to human workflows only. 

The rule of thumb is: Untick the option to get higher quality translations. 

When a CMS sends new content, the Beebox will attempt to pretranslate sentences from earlier completed translations. For example, "click here" may have been translated in the past already. Now, it may be that the perfect translation changes depending on the text coming just before and after the sentence (we call this the "context"). The option basically tells whether we want or do not want to send a pretranslated sentence again to a human translator if the context is different than in the past.
