SharePoint

The diagram opposite shows how you can use hot folders. You simply need to drop source files into a hot folder and Beebox will automatically receive and process those files. Translation jobs are then exported to Wordbee Translator or another TMS (using XLIFF files).

You can translate any file or document stored in SharePoint that is supported by Wordbee. Beebox hot folders allow you to select a specific location within SharePoint to send files for translation and to receive the translated version.

Once you have set up this connection and created a Beebox project, Beebox can scan this SharePoint file directory for newly added documents. These are then picked up and streamed into the translation workflow. Once the translations are ready, the translations can either be pushed back into a dedicated SharePoint location or into language sub-folders.

The connection can be made by syncing SharePoint files with the server where Beebox is hosted. When creating the Beebox project, you need to customize the source and target file directories to point to the synced folders. Any new file placed in the source folder in SharePoint will be synced and picked up by Beebox. This will start the translation process according to your Beebox project settings.
