Project Types

Beebox proposes three different types of projects. Each is designed for a specific use case.

1. Regular Projects

Leverages all the linguistic capabilities of Beebox. With each file, Beebox extracts content, segments, pre-translates and optionally machine translates. Only new or changed content down to sentence level are (optionally) forwarded to a translation team.

When to use

High volume translation
High speed translation
Localization teams
Game development teams
Software development teams
Work reception via FTP / File shares / API

Advantages

Fast and efficient file handling
Can translate by itself (using memories/machine)
Makes sure that human teams only get new or changed content
Link to Wordbee Translator or other TMS (using XLIFF and hotfolders)
Flexible and customisable workflows

Drupal
Joomla
Typo 3

3. Pass-Through Projects

With pass-through projects, Beebox sends all new or changed files directly to a TMS (Wordbee Translator). It does not extract content, pre-translate or do other content operations.

Advantages

Permits file post-editing workflows in TMS
Delegates all content extraction to TMS
Delegates all pre-translation to TMS

When to use

This project type is for the special use cases: For example to connect a document management system such as a Sharepoint and where post-editing of files in the TMS is required.
You can use PT projects for any content source including FTP, web shares and CMSes.
