Abstract

Translation review workflow systems and methods are disclosed herein. Some embodiments include a web content management system having a translation preview agent, the web content management system managing web content for publishing, a translation system that manages translation content of the web content, and a translation preview service that generates a translation preview of the web content with the translated content that is embedded within the web content to maintain context for a translator.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a web content management system comprising a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor for managing web content for publishing;

a translation preview agent that has been installed within the web content management system behind logical and physical security of the web content management system, and that inserts a plurality of component scripts into web content, when a plurality of translation jobs are required for the web content; and

a translation system comprising a translation system processor and a translation system memory coupled to the translation system processor, the translation system memory storing instructions executable by the translation system processor for managing translation content of the web content,

the translation system in communication with the web content management system and integrated via a cloud-based translation preview service executing within a cloud,

the translation preview service generating a translation preview of the web content with the translated content that is embedded within the web content to maintain context for a translator,

the translation preview service comprising a translation preview component executing within the cloud that

facilitates translation job requests from the web content management system to the translation management system, and

facilitates requests for translation previews from the translation management system to the web content management system, and

the translation preview agent installed prior to usage of the translation preview component.

2. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a security service that authenticates the web content management system prior to installation of the translation preview agent.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the security service authenticates requests to the web content management system from the translation system for the translation preview.

4. The system according to claim 2, wherein the security service authenticates the web content management system using a tenant identifier, a client key, and a client secret value.

5. The system according to claim 4, wherein the translation preview agent generates a rendered list document that comprises one or more translation components, each of the one or more translation components comprising a preview URL, a preview language, the tenant identifier, and a translation job identifier.

6. The system according to claim 5, wherein the translation preview service receives a selection of one of the one or more translation components from the translation system.

7. The system according to claim 6, further comprising a staging server that provides a current version of the web content to the web content management system during generation of the translation preview.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the translation preview service:

receives the current version of the web content;

replaces the one or more translation components with the translated content to create the translation preview; and

transmits the translation preview to the translation system.

9. The system according to claim 8, wherein translated content is stored in the web content management system prior to the content staging system providing the current version of the web content.

10. The system according to claim 1, wherein the translation system obtains a current version of the web content through the translation preview service using the translation preview agent that is set behind a security firewall of the web content management system.
