Translation Manager Built-in for Powerful Web Site Globalization

SDL Tridion Translation Manager is for corporate communication, marketing and translation management professionals who need to manage web site globalization via international campaigns, promotions, product launches and Web sites. Translation Manager enhances SDL Tridion’s BluePrinting technology to coordinate the central marketing and communication activities of organizations with efficient translation management. This ensures faster time-to-market and greater cost control within a structured process. 

Business Drivers

• Web site globalization
  A true global Web presence is a key requirement for today’s businesses. Web site globalization is one of SDL Tridion’s core strengths, fulfilling your needs for multi-site management, balanced central and local messaging, translation management, and a centralized collaborative environment for international organizations.
  
  

• Combining strengths
  SDL Translation Manager 2.0 combines the strength of SDL Tridion BluePrinting technology with translation management to provide a complete solution for global communication:

  These features combine for the best of both worlds: SDL Tridion manages web content, controls contributor access, enables reuse and repurposing of content, and Translation Manager takes care of the translation process, enforces terminology, and reduces process time and cost.

Benefits

• Translation meets Web Content Management 
  Translation Manager 2.0 enables you to configure your translation needs within your existing BluePrint structure. This includes defining both the source and target language of your typical translation processes. Since Translation Manager uses SDL Tridion security, you can ensure only authorized content contributors can initiate translation. The integration also provides translation for all online communication including text content, metadata, structure and navigation elements.
  
  

• Defined web site globalization processes
  Translation jobs can comprise anything from a single piece of text to an entire section of your Web site. This allows you to have full control over the translation of entire campaigns enabling coordinated rollout across multiple country sites. Creating and sending a translation job is as easy as a click of your mouse. After you define a translation job and send it for translation, Translation Manager takes over and collects all relevant content and sends it to your translation vendors.
  The content being translated is not only automatically checked-out from the system, but after the translation is complete all of the translated items are automatically checked-in to the correct location (publication, folder or structure group) within SDL Tridion. This allows you to review, approve and use the translated content as soon as it is available: no extra processing is required.
  
  

• Monitoring
  To ensure that all translation jobs follow your schedule and so that you can be assured of the progress of your activities, Translation Manager provides monitoring capabilities. These monitoring capabilities enable you to easily see the status of any translation job. This means that you always know which jobs are queued, sent to translation and completed. By automating publishing, you can instantly view completed translations within your staging environment to allow for fast reviews.
  
  

• Notification
  In addition to the monitoring capabilities, you can also use e-mail notifications to keep all of those who are involved in using translated content or those responsible for translations in-the-loop regarding the status of the translation at any point in time.
