Tired of manually managing translations but not sure whether a website translation connector is right for you? Our blog walks you through the details: from what this technology does, to whether you can benefit.
Picture this:
You’re managing content across the globe!
You’re delivering campaigns across a wealth of different cultures and languages!
You’re…
…still using copy and paste for translations.
Don’t worry. You’re not alone.
When it comes to website translation, too many global marketing teams are still taking matters into their own hands, manually sending individual pieces of content off for translation. The process is, to put it plainly, a total pain. It’s slow, it delays your time-to-market, and stops you reaching your global audience.
The good news?
There is a neat solution to your woes, and it comes in the form of website translation connectors.
Go on then. What are website translation connectors?
For those that do business in multiple languages, most of the content you manage in your content management system (CMS) will need to be translated. This might be blog posts, newsletters, product descriptions… Anything, really. Depending on the size of your company and how much content you produce, this can be a hefty undertaking.
Now, think of how much easier it would be if your CMS and your translation partner’s system were in direct communication. That’s what a website translation connector does—it links the systems, doing away with the need for any manual back and forth.
For example, if you or your company uses Drupal or Sitecore as its CMS, you could link your CMS to your chosen language services provider, enabling you to transfer content from your CMS to your translation partner for quick, seamless translation. Once translated, the connector can upload the new versions back into the CMS for the client to review.
And it doesn’t stop at Drupal or Sitecore. Website translation connectors work for all kinds of content management systems, including Adobe Experience Manager, Umbraco, Hubspot and Contentful.
You can say goodbye to copy and paste and hello to time and cost savings!
