Translation Connectors & CMS Integration

Connectors and plug-ins eliminate tedious copy-paste and import-export operations. They allow content to be translated and published as is it produced, resulting in significant productivity gains for your company. Automating these processes lets you eliminate time-consuming steps, reduce costs and modernize your multilingual content management process.  

Our translation connectors and plugins are flexible and can be scaled up as your project grows. Translation connectors and plugins are the ideal solution for you if you have a large amount of content or product files. They are often used by companies in the ecommerce, travel & retail, and industrial sectors like aerospace, automotive and energy to translate their website or product documentation. 

Acolad’s API (Application Programming Interface) lets you connect your website or editing environment to our translation services, helping you save time on project management and automate certain processes. For example, using an API can allow you to automate ordering translations for new content that’s been added to your website. Our translation API is a secure platform that ensures data security and confidentiality. 

Our experts will work with you to understand your workflows and existing content management system and help you find a solution that fits your needs. Plug-ins simplify the translation process and make localizing your content a breeze. At Acolad, we’re ready to handle your large integration projects and can create a customized integrated solution for your content management system. Our team can create an integration for your workflows, no matter how large or complex they may be! 

A client API is an API provided by Acolad which allows your organization to create projects, attached files and other meta data like language and style guides. When completed, the final files can then be sent back via this API to your CMS.  

You can gain access to our API and develop a middleware or interface using our documentation. Alternatively, we can work with you to develop a middleware that will connect to your system.  

The client API is typically used when you have a dedicated IT team or technically proficient specialists, and you want to connect in this way or when you’re using a proprietary system which does not have off the shelf connection options. 

A file bridge is similar to the client APIs. However, instead of an API it can be a file system, most typically in FTP. You drop files in designated folders in a shared FTP and Acolad will then process those files and return them to similar folders for your teams to download at their convenience.
