Installing the plugin

Make sure that you have installed a Beebox Server instance or you have subscribed to a hosted Beebox. You can obtain trial versions from Wordbee.

Carefully read the prerequisites before you proceed.

Plugin installation

The installation is straightforward:

1. Open your AEM site CRX Package Manager window in browser i.e. http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/index.jsp.
2. Press Upload Package-> browse and select AEM connector zip file.
3. Check Force Upload if required.
4. Press Ok

      5.    Finally, Press Install. A confirmation message will be popped up press Install again.

Once the installation is successful, open your AEM site in administrative mode, you would observe two new tabs "Beebox Translation Console" and "Polling Management Console" as shown below

• Beebox Translation Console: Pressing this tab would open the main screen of AEM connector which let's user to complete translation workflow i.e. sending items for quotation, sending items for translation, retrieving and importing translations back after translation. 
• Polling Management Console: This screen is basically for the administrator users only to select the Frequency (in seconds) for receiving Quotation and translation import background jobs.

Polling configuration (optional)

It is possible to configure the frequency for receiving Quotation and translation import background jobs.

By default, the connector is configured to retrieve:

• The status of the quotations and jobs every 10 minutes (600 seconds).
• The translations every 30 minutes (1800 seconds).

To change time interval for any of these jobs, use the Polling Management Console, select the job and press Edit and finally change the update interval as shown below and press Ok.

Rollout configuration (recommended)

This part is related to the configuration of the AEM Rollout feature, to avoid AEM to copy the Beebox properties on the copied pages.

Although it is needed only if you use the Rollout feature of AEM, then please consider configuring these settings.

To disable the copy of these properties,

• In the AEM administration, select Web Console (i.e. http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr)
• Part 1: Day CQ WCM Rollout Manager
  
  • Search for a configuration named Day CQ WCM Rollout Manager and edit it.
    
    
    
    
  • Add the following properties, in the Excluded Page Properties setting :
    • beebox_lastTranslationDate
    • beebox_translationStatus
    • beebox_translatedTo
    • beebox_translatedFrom
      
      
  • Save the settings.
    
    
• Part 2: CQ MSM Content Update Action
  Also, we need to configure the CQ MSM Content Update Action to avoid AEM to update the Beebox properties of the copied pages, when the parent is modified.

• • Search for a configuration named CQ MSM Content Update Action and edit it.
    
    
    
    
  • As before, add the following properties in the Excluded Page Properties setting :
