Kentico

The Wordbee Beebox Connector for Kentico makes translating content an efficient and user-friendly process. The connector lets you filter and select content for translation, send content to your translation team or provider, receive finished translations back and have Kentico sites updated with a click.

Features

Translation capabilities:

• Any pages and other content types.
• Send single pages or complete sites for translation in one click.
• Absolutely no manual export or import of translation files required. All using web services.
• Any source and target language(s) – in any directions.
• Extends the existing translation capabilities of Kentico for maximum compatibility.
• Isolates the HTML markup to protect against unintentional tampering.
• Connects to your preferred translation service providers, in-house teams or TMS.
• Lets you connect each instance of a Kentico site to a different translation team or provider.
• Easy tracking of running translation requests.
• Automatically inserts completed translations back into the right places.

Shows a set of pages successfully translated from English into French. The translation service "Wordbee Beebox" is a virtual translator that directly links to your translation team, provider or TMS.

Translation review and editing:

• Preview and approve translations prior to publishing updated content inside Kentico.
• Translations can be rejected and resent for translation, if necessary.

Translation cost optimization:

• Automatically identifies if a sentence or paragraph has been translated in the past. The system automatically reuses past translations and does not send that content to your translation provider.
• Automatically identifies repeating sentences and paragraphs within new content and sends these only once for translation. This may lead to an overall translation volume reduction of 20% or more. Your translation provider receives unique content only (option).
• If your site has been already translated, you can have your existing translations aligned and submitted to your translation team for approval for future use.

Compatibility

• Works with Kentico CMS versions up to 13.
• Automatically updates/creates translated content.
• Supports multi-site installations with different source languages.

No more manual file exports and imports!

Implementation

The Connector is part of the regular Kentico package and is installed using the "Import site and objects" functionality in Kentico. The plug-in adds a virtual translator ("Wordbee Beebox") for use within Kentico.

The Connector then talks to the Beebox middleware using the HTTP protocol. The Beebox server may be installed at the Kentico site owner's premises, a Kentico web agency or at a language service provider. A single Beebox server can connect any number of content management systems with any number of TMSes or translation teams. Wordbee can provide a list of LSPs who already operate a Beebox server.

Both connector and Beebox are off-the-shelf products. Installation and configuration support can be provided by Wordbee upon request.
