For details, see http://aws.amazon.com.

Amazon SQS	Amazon Simple Queue Service. For details, see: http://aws.amazon.com/sqs/. The Connector uses Amazon SQS to provide Message Queue Services.
Asset	Any content or document being sent for translation, including metadata. Assets are created by the Connector.
Clay Tablet (CTT)	Clay Tablet Technologies, a Lionbridge company, and the corporate entity that publishes the Connector and the Clay Tablet Platform.
Clay Tablet Platform	The hosted (IaaS) connectivity platform that receives and routes content from content systems, including content management systems (CMSs), to translation providers and back during implementation.

IaaS	Infrastructure as a Service. The Clay Tablet Platform is an IaaS, because it is a hosted platform.
Keys	The Connector uses keys to establish a secure, discrete connection between the Connector instance and the Platform. Very important: Do not copy the CMS address keys to multiple instances, because this is a violation of the License Agreement. Using the same CMS address keys on multiple instances will cause the Lionbridge App or 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 connector, 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.

2 - About the Clay Tablet Translation Platform

The Clay Tablet 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.

Clay Tablet 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. It is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). During implementation, the Lionbridge Connector Team configures the Platform for your translation solution, based on the translation providers or systems you use. The Clay Tablet Platform uses the following services on AWS:

• S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service), which provides storage services for the content sent to and from translation.

• SQS (Amazon Simple Queue Service), which provides message queue services.

3 - How the Connector Works with Episerver

The Lionbridge Connector (Connector) is an important part of the Clay Tablet translation solution.

The Connector is installed on your system as an add-in to Episerver, through a NuGet installation package. Its functionality is displayed to the users as part of Episerver.

Your translation systems architecture might look like the configuration above. It may have additional content systems or translation providers, but the core concepts remain the same.

During implementation, the Lionbridge Connectors team works with you and your translation providers to configure and test the other elements of your translation solution, which are the Clay Tablet Platform’s connections to your translation providers' systems.
