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. 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.

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.
