Most organisations can complete the Alfresco and XTM integration in under 30 minutes. The process is straightforward, and our technical team provides step-by-step guidance to ensure everything connects correctly. Once setup is complete, you’ll be able to start sending documents for translation and receiving multilingual versions the very same day. For larger environments, we’ll adapt the process to match your IT and workflow needs.

Yes, you have complete control over what content is sent for translation. You can select specific folders, document types, or even apply filters based on metadata. This way, only the files you choose are synced with XTM. This flexibility makes it easy to align localisation projects with your business priorities, such as translating product manuals for one region while leaving internal documents untouched.

The integration respects your existing Alfresco security and workflows. Translated content returns with the same access permissions that were applied to the original files, so your document security policies remain intact. In addition, the integration works seamlessly with your existing approval workflows, meaning translations go through the same review and publishing steps you already have in place.

Yes. The integration is fully compatible with both Alfresco Cloud and on-premise installations. Our technical team will configure the connection based on your environment, ensuring you can take advantage of the same features regardless of how you’ve deployed Alfresco. This gives you flexibility whether you’re using a cloud-based setup, an on-premise solution, or a hybrid model.

XTM supports over 70 file formats directly, covering everything from Word documents and PowerPoint presentations to XML files, images with embedded text, and web content. The system ensures that your original formatting, layout, and metadata are preserved during the translation process. This means you don’t need to spend extra time reformatting or fixing design issues after translations are delivered.

Yes, the integration includes real-time translation status updates directly inside Alfresco. You can see which documents are in translation, which are under review, and which are complete—all without switching to another platform. This makes it easy for content managers and localisation teams to stay on top of progress and manage deadlines from within their familiar workspace.

If you update a document in Alfresco while it’s already being translated, XTM automatically detects the changes and adjusts the translation project accordingly. You can choose whether to restart the translation process with the updated version or apply the changes to work already in progress. This ensures your multilingual documents always stay consistent with your source content.

There are no limits on the volume of content you can send for translation through the Alfresco integration. Whether you need to translate a single file or thousands of documents across multiple markets, the system scales to match your needs. Performance remains consistent regardless of volume, making it suitable for both small teams and large enterprises managing global content libraries.
