Microsoft SharePoint integration with XTM

The integration of Microsoft SharePoint with your environment is facilitated through our SharePoint app, which leverages Microsoft’s secure OAuth authentication protocol. This ensures that the connection is both safe and reliable, allowing you to have full control over the specific libraries, sites, and content types that XTM can access. The integration is designed to be read-only by default, ensuring that your original data remains untouched. However, it does provide write permissions specifically for the purpose of returning translations, maintaining a secure and efficient workflow.

Yes, our Microsoft SharePoint plugin is designed to handle translations for both documents and web pages. This means that you can easily translate the content of your SharePoint site beyond just the documents. The plugin works by extracting text from various page elements, including page layouts, web parts, and metadata. It ensures that all these components are accurately translated while preserving the overall structure and formatting of your site, maintaining a seamless appearance and user experience across different languages.

XTM is designed to automatically track any changes made to your SharePoint content, ensuring that your translation process remains accurate and up-to-date. If you update the source content while a translation is in progress, XTM will flag these changes, providing an option to update the translation projects accordingly. This allows you to have control over the translation workflow, giving you the choice to either restart the translation with the new content or continue with the original version, depending on your needs and preferences.

Our SharePoint integration is designed to seamlessly support both SharePoint Online, which is part of the Office 365 suite, and on-premises versions of SharePoint, specifically from SharePoint 2016 onwards. While the core functionality and features remain consistent across these different versions, it’s important to note that the setup process varies slightly between SharePoint Online and on-premises installations. This ensures that users can enjoy a smooth and efficient experience, regardless of the SharePoint environment they are utilizing. Our documentation provides detailed guidance for each setup scenario.

XTM is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing SharePoint permissions and security protocols. This means that when using XTM, there is no need to worry about unauthorized access; the system ensures that translators can only view and work on the specific content pieces they are assigned to translate. Once the translation tasks are completed, the content is returned with all the appropriate permission settings preserved. Thus, your content security policies remain fully intact and operative, safeguarding your data at all times.

Certainly! You can definitely set up automated translation workflows for various content types. Begin by creating rules that will automatically direct specific SharePoint libraries or designated content types for translation, ensuring that all relevant materials are processed efficiently. You can also establish approval workflows, which allow you to maintain quality control and ensure that translations meet your standards before publication. Additionally, you can assign dedicated translator teams to handle different languages or regions, and even schedule publishing dates to coordinate with your content release plans. This setup ensures the entire translation process operates smoothly and efficiently without requiring manual intervention at each step.

The SharePoint integration supports a wide range of file formats to ensure seamless content management and collaboration. It effectively handles all major SharePoint content types such as Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, and PDF documents. In addition to these, the integration also supports web page content. One of the key features of this integration is its ability to maintain the original formatting, including images and embedded objects, during the translation process. This ensures that the integrity and visual appeal of the documents are preserved across different formats.

The Microsoft SharePoint integration is conveniently included at no extra cost with all XTM plans. This means you won’t incur additional fees solely for using the integration. Instead, your expenses will be related to translation services and the overall usage of the XTM platform. This setup allows you to leverage SharePoint’s capabilities without worrying about integration costs.
