1 - Terminology

Asset	Any content or document being sent for translation, including metadata. Assets are created by the Connector.
Content API Platform	The hosted connectivity platform that receives and routes content from content systems, including content management systems (CMSs), to translation providers and back during implementation. The Lionbridge Connector Team configures the Platform based on the number and nature of systems involved in your system architecture.
Freeway	The name of the Lionbridge translation portal for submitting content to and retrieving content from the Lionbridge translation provider.
FTP Server	File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. Translation providers may receive and send files for translation using an FTP server.
Keys	The Connector uses keys to establish a secure, discrete connection between the Connector instance and the Platform. Very important Do not use the same account keys on multiple instances, because this is a violation of the License Agreement. Using the same account keys on multiple instances will cause the Connector to behave unexpectedly, which can result in lost translation content, orphaned projects, and inaccurate translation status reports. The Lionbridge Connector team will support technical issues caused by duplicating or incorrectly installing CMS address keys only on a time and materials basis.**
Lionbridge	The publisher of the Freeway translation portal and a translation provider. Users connect to the Freeway translation portal to submit content to and retrieve content from the Lionbridge translation provider.
Lionbridge Connector for Adobe Experience Manager (Connector)	The connector software that Clay Tablet Technologies has developed and provides, which plugs into your Adobe Experience Manager installation to provide connectivity to our hosted Platform. In this document it is referred to as the Connector. This is the software you are installing and configuring as you work through this document.
MT	Machine translation. The translation provider can be a machine translation service, such as Bing.
Producer	CMS or another system that sends content or documents out for translation. In this case, this is your Adobe Experience Manager.
Provider	provider of translation services. The delivery of assets to the provider may be via an FTP server or a TMS connector.
Support Asset	Supporting documents and their metadata. Support assets are not translated by the translation provider, but they provide helpful context for the translator.
TMS	Translation management system that the translation provider uses.

2 - About the Content API Platform

About the Content API Platform

The Content API translation-connectivity platform is the easiest, most flexible way to integrate content systems, including content management systems (CMSs) and other content producers, with translation providers and translation technologies.

Content API Platform is the hosted (IaaS) connectivity platform that receives and routes content from content management systems to translation providers and back, including to Lionbridge via Freeway. During implementation, the Lionbridge Connector Team configures the Platform for your translation solution, based on the translation providers or systems you use.

3 - How the Connector Works with Adobe Experience Manager

The Lionbridge Connector (“Connector”) is an important part of the Content API translation solution.

The Connector is installed on your system as an add-on to Adobe Experience Manager. Its functionality is displayed to the users as part of Adobe Experience Manager.

Your translation systems architecture might look like the configuration above. It may have additional CMSs or translation providers, but the core concepts remain the same. If your translation provider is Lionbridge, it is accessed via Freeway.

During implementation, Lionbridge Connector Support works with you and your translation providers to configure and test the other elements of your translation solution, which are the Content API Platform’s connections to your translation providers' systems.
