This setup ensures complete control over the translation process, allowing you to prioritize and manage translations according to your specific requirements and timelines. You can tailor the scope of translation to match your strategic needs, ensuring efficiency and relevance in your content delivery.

Our integration system is designed to manage updates to your SDL LiveContent smoothly during the translation process. When you make minor adjustments or small changes to your content, these updates are automatically reflected, ensuring translators work with the most current version. However, if you introduce substantial or major alterations to the content, you have the option to either restart the translation process from the beginning with the updated version or continue the translation using the original version. This flexibility allows you to maintain control over how your content is translated while accommodating ongoing revisions.

No, your translation team does not need to learn how to use SDL LiveContent because they will be working entirely within XTM’s familiar interface, which they are already comfortable with. This interface allows them to view your content with full context and formatting, ensuring they can accurately translate the material without any additional training or access to SDL LiveContent. This process streamlines their workflow, allowing them to focus on delivering high-quality translations without the need to adapt to new systems or tools.

Yes, you can track translation progress without logging into XTM by accessing real-time updates directly within SDL LiveContent. This feature allows you to stay informed about the translation process at various stages. You’ll receive notifications when translations begin, so you know work is underway. Additionally, you can monitor the progress and be alerted when translations are ready for review, ensuring you can prepare for the next steps promptly. Finally, you’ll be notified when translations are complete, allowing you to manage your content efficiently.

The integration supports all standard SDL LiveContent formats seamlessly, meaning any file type that can be generated or utilized within SDL LiveContent is compatible. This includes not only simple text documents but also those with complex layouts and embedded multimedia elements like images, audio, and video. The integration leverages XTM, a powerful translation management system, to ensure that these varied formats are translated efficiently while maintaining their original structure and functionality. This capability ensures a smooth and comprehensive translation process for diverse content types.

The SDL LiveContent integration is a feature that comes at no additional charge when you subscribe to XTM, meaning you don’t have to worry about paying extra for implementing this integration. Essentially, the integration is bundled with your existing XTM subscription. However, while the integration itself is free, you will incur costs for the translation services you utilize through XTM, similar to how you are billed for any other XTM project. You only pay for the volume of translation work you actually use, ensuring a fair and flexible pricing model.

Our workflow is designed to maintain enterprise-grade security at every stage, prioritizing the protection of your sensitive information. Furthermore, we guarantee that your content remains on secure servers, avoiding any exposure to unsecured environments or third-party systems.
