Frequently asked questions

The XTM plugin for Akeneo integrates directly with your existing product information management (PIM) system through the API. This means you don’t have to change your current data structure, product attributes, or established workflows. The plugin pulls product information directly from Akeneo, sends it to XTM for translation, and then returns translated content back into your PIM automatically. The result is a seamless localisation process that works with your current setup without disruption.

Yes, you have full control over what gets translated. With the Akeneo integration, you can apply filters to target specific product categories, attributes, or even certain types of content. This flexibility allows you to align translation projects with your localisation strategy. For example, you might only translate high-value product lines for a new market launch, or update technical specifications without sending marketing descriptions.

Most customers are able to complete the setup in under 30 minutes. The plugin is designed for quick deployment, and our technical team provides guided assistance during configuration. Once connected, you can start translating product content the very same day. Even for large catalogues, the setup process is straightforward and does not interrupt your existing PIM workflows.

If you make changes to product data after translations have been delivered, the integration automatically detects the updates. New translation tasks are created in XTM for any modified content. Depending on your preferences, you can configure the workflow to automatically trigger retranslation or to send updated tasks for manual review and approval. This ensures your multilingual product information always stays accurate and up to date.

Yes. The XTM integration is compatible with Akeneo Community Edition, Growth Edition, and Enterprise Edition. We support all current Akeneo versions and continuously update the plugin to ensure compatibility with new releases. Whether you’re running a small catalogue or a large enterprise setup, the integration works reliably across editions.

Product catalogues often include detailed technical information, and accuracy is critical. That’s why XTM assigns translators with expertise in your specific industry and product categories. In addition, our quality assurance process includes terminology management, consistency checks, and multiple review stages before translations are returned to your PIM. This guarantees that product specifications are precise, consistent, and aligned with your brand terminology.

Absolutely. XTM is vendor-neutral, so you can continue working with your current translation agencies, freelancers, or in-house language teams. Our vendor management system allows you to onboard your existing providers into the workflow, while still benefiting from automation, quality controls, and centralised reporting. This means you don’t have to change vendor relationships to take advantage of the integration.

All customers using the Akeneo plugin receive dedicated technical support, including help with setup, troubleshooting, and workflow optimisation. Our support team is available to answer questions and resolve issues quickly. Enterprise customers also receive priority support with guaranteed response times and access to advanced assistance for complex deployments.
