The plugin adds a user interface to your Sitecore site: Select and send content to your translation agency or team, receive translations and have your Sitecore site updated automatically. Enjoy a multilingual web site which is always up to date and which does not take you hundreds of manual work steps.
Features
Key features:
- Translates all content including navigation bars, footers, headers, blog, pages, etc.
- Automatically tracks which content is new or changed.
- Connects to your translation service provider or translation team (direct web link, no manual import/export/emails).
- Add new, changed or other content to the "cart". Checking out the cart sends content for translation.
- Request a cost preview.
- Automatically receives translated content and inserts translated content into the right places in Sitecore.
Review and editing support:
- Preview and approve any translations received before updating the site.
- Click button to resend translations to the translation team if you feel something is not right.
- Edit and correct translations directly in Sitecore. Send YOUR translations/edits to the translation team for linguistic approval.
Keep your existing translations:
- If your site is already translated (fully or partially), existing translations are not lost and sent to the translation team.
- This ensures that content is not translated again if you already have them. This is a unique feature you will not find with other solutions.
Who translates?
This is your choice! Any translation service provider with a Beebox server can link up with your Joomla site. Or, if you have your own translation teams, you can install your own Beebox.
The plugin web-links to a Beebox server and its API. The Beebox is typically installed at a translation agency. Agencies use so-called translation management systems (TMS) to organize and manage translation work. The Beebox sits in front of a TMS and takes care of shuffling back and forth content between translation teams and your Sitecore site. All this is totally transparent and automatic. If you own your own TMS and translation teams you might be interested in running your own Beebox.
