By connecting the Across translation workflow to Pimcore, you can create translation orders in Pimcore, automatically send them to Across, and then automatically return the translations from Across.

Technical Connection

The data are extracted and reentered in an asynchronous manner via XML. When setting up a translation order, the user enters a name, a description, a topic, and the project manager. Moreover, he or she determines the source language and the target language(s) for the translation. Dependencies with other translation orders can be created within Pimcore.

In the field of the translation objects, the data objects of Pimcore are linked in the translation order. XML definitions are created under consideration of the data objects in Pimcore. Within these definitions, it is possible to define various text types (headline, subline, copy, list, etc.). Subsequently, these XMLs are linked to a translation order and collectively sent to Across.
