The CTS Translations.com module extends the functionality of the CTS Workflow module to allow files to be sent to Translations.com for translation.

The module adds:

How Translations.com workflow works 

The module can be used in the three different ways detailed in this section. You can use different processes in different apps or any combination of these processes.

Single content items

This method describes the process of a reviewer sending a single content item to a translator who forwards the item to Translations.com.  

The CTS Demo module:

  • Enables single item Translations.com workflow in the Tour Categories app 
  • Adds two new groups in the Security app: reviewers and translators. superuser is assigned to the reviewers group and eric to the translators group. 

Here's how the Translations.com integration works for single content items:

  1. Reviewer (superuser):
    1. Selects an item for translation in the app
    2. Clicks Translate by workflow,
    3. Selects the target language(s) and adds a comment.
    4. Clicks Translate.
  2. Translators group:
    1. Is notified of the task in the Pulse (Task status: New).
    2. Translator (eric):
      1. Assigns himself the task (Task status: In Progress). Until this point the steps are the same as in the CTS Workflow module.
      2. Clicks Request translations.com to send the file to Translations.com for translation. 
      3. Receives a success message and the tasks state changes to Requested translations.com, waiting for response.
  3. Translator:
    1. Logs in to Translations.com's GlobalLink Project Director app.
      1. Selects the file and clicks Start Submission.
      2. You can login at your translations.com instance with your username and password to test.
  4. Magnolia monitors the progress of the translation using the Scheduler module. When the file has been translated it is uploaded automatically to Magnolia.
  5. Reviewers group:
    1. Is notified of the task in Pulse (Task status: New) on upload from Translations.com.
    2. Reviewer (superuser)
      1. Assigns himself the task.
      2. Has the following actions available: Approve & import, Review, Reject, Abort.
      3. Reviews the translated text and if satisfied imports it into the workspace.
          

Batch content items

Batch translation allows a reviewer (superuser) to send multiple content items to the translators group at the same time. The items are managed in the Translation Submit app.

The CTS Translations.com module enables batch content translation in the Pages app.

Except for step 1, the procedure is basically the same as for single content items.

Here's how step 1 works for batch items:

Reviewer (superuser):

  1. In Pages:
    1. Selects multiple pages for translation. You can add pages from different sites and any location in the tree.
    2. Clicks Add to translation requests.
    3. Selects the batch, target language(s) and adds a comment.
    4. Clicks Save changes. This sends the items to the Translation Submit app.
  2. In the Translation Submit app:
    1. Reviews and manages the items. He can create new batches and folders, and delete items. 
    2. Clicks Submit batch to translations.com. 
    3. The Submit batch to translations.com action:
      1. Sends the items to the translators group in the Pulse.
      2. Changes the status of the items in the Translation Submit app to Exported. 
      3. From this point the procedure is the same as for single items.
    4. When the translator submits an item to Translations.com (from the Pulse), the translation status in the Translation Submit app changes to Sent.

You can add content items from different workspaces to the same batch by enabling batch translation in the underlying apps. For example you could add relevant tours, pages, contacts and tour categories to a campaign batch by adding the Add to translation requests action in the different apps..

Auto importing content

You can configure Magnolia to import translated content uploaded from Translations.com directly into the JCR. This bypasses the review process (step 5 above). See Enabling auto import for more.

Translations.com translator

The module includes a translator implementation that integrates Magnolia with Translations.com.

The translator is configured in the CTS Common module at /modules/content-translation-support-extend-common/config/translators.

Enabling Translations.com batch translation in content apps

You can enable Translations.com batch workflow in any content app.

Example: Enabling translations.com workflow in the Tours app. 

  1. Ensure that the fields you want to translate have an i18n property (set to true) in the detail subapp. See Enabling mulitlanguage content for more.
    Example: description text field in the tours tab in /modules/tours/apps/tours/subApps/detail/editor/form/tabs/tour/fields/description.

    Node nameValue

     editor


     form


     tabs


     tours


     fields


     name


     description


     class

    		info.magnolia.ui.form.field.definition.TextFieldDefinition

     i18n

    		 true

     rows

    		3

  2. Add the Add to translation requests (selectTranslationBatch) action to the browser supapp. 
    Example: selectTranslationBatch action in /modules/tours/apps/tours/subApps/browser/actions/selectTranslationBatch.

    Node nameValue

     browser


     actions


     selectTranslationBatch


     extends

    		/modules/content-translation-support-extend-ct-integration/actions/selectBatchTranslationAction

  3. Add the action to the action bar. 
    Example: selectTranslationBatch action in /modules/tours/apps/tours/subApps/browser/actionbar/sections/item/groups/importExportActions/items/selectTranslationBatch.

    Node name

     browser

     actionbar

     sections

     item

     groups

     importExportActions

     items

     selectTranslationBatch

  4. Test the action in the app. 
    Example: Add to translation requests action and dialog in the Tours app.
       
#trackbackRdf ($trackbackUtils.getContentIdentifier($page) $page.title $trackbackUtils.getPingUrl($page))
