Drupal integration with XTM

Setting up the Drupal integration typically takes about 30 minutes for most users, making it a fairly quick process. The integration involves installing our plugin, which functions like any standard Drupal module, allowing for a straightforward installation procedure. However, it’s important to note that administrative access is required for both Drupal and XTM to establish a successful connection. This access ensures that you can properly configure the integration settings and facilitate seamless communication between the systems.

Yes, the Drupal plugin is designed to seamlessly integrate with any content type, including those that have custom fields and taxonomies. It offers flexibility by allowing you to select precisely which pieces of content you want to send for translation, ensuring that even specialized or uniquely structured content can be efficiently processed. This means that regardless of how your content is organized or customized, you can easily manage translations to fit your specific needs, enhancing your site’s multilingual capabilities.

The integration system is designed to automatically track different versions of your content, ensuring a smooth translation process even when updates occur. Translators are provided with a clear view of precisely what has been modified, allowing them to focus only on the new or altered sections without having to redo the entire translation. This efficient process ensures that you do not lose any progress on the existing translations, minimizing both time and effort. The system maintains continuity and accuracy in translations, keeping them in sync with your content updates.

Certainly! You can seamlessly integrate multiple Drupal sites with your XTM account without any limitations. This flexibility allows you to connect as many Drupal sites as you require, ensuring that each one can efficiently utilize the translation services provided by XTM. By doing so, you can manage and oversee translations for all your sites from a single, centralized dashboard. This centralized management system streamlines the translation process, enhancing organization and efficiency across your various web properties, regardless of their number.

The integration is designed to operate seamlessly in the background, ensuring it does not slow down your Drupal site. It functions efficiently without interfering with your site’s performance, so you won’t notice any lag or delay. Content synchronization is strategically scheduled to occur during low-traffic periods, minimizing any potential impact. This means that while your site is receiving fewer visitors, the plugin is quietly updating content, allowing your users to enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted browsing experience. Rest assured, your visitors’ experience remains unaffected.

Translators not having access to Drupal is intentional, as they perform all their tasks using XTM, a translation management system. This setup eliminates the necessity for them to obtain Drupal credentials, ensuring that they can focus solely on translating without worrying about CMS-related issues. XTM provides translators with all the necessary context and information they need for accurate translations, streamlining the process and maintaining security by keeping them out of the CMS backend entirely, thus enhancing efficiency and preventing unauthorized access.

Certainly, you can customize the translation workflow to fit your team’s specific needs and processes. This includes setting up approval processes to ensure quality and consistency. You can also assign particular translators to handle distinct content types, allowing for specialization and expertise in different areas. Additionally, you have the flexibility to create custom workflows that align perfectly with how your team operates, ensuring that every step of the translation process is tailored to meet your organizational goals and requirements.
