Purpose of this guide

This guide describes how to use the Lionbridge Connector (Connector) for Episerver to manage your translation lifecycle. It describes how to send out assets from Episerver for translation and receive them back from translation.

Who should use this guide

This guide is intended for content editors, project, marketing, localization or translation managers, or others who are responsible for creating, editing, or approving assets for translation that reside in your Episerver instance. This guide is also useful for translation providers who receive assets from your Episerver instance, because it describes your company’s translation management process.

What your company setup should be

This document assumes that:

• Your company already has a functioning instance of Episerver.
• The Connector has been installed, configured, and tested on your Episerver instance.
• The Lionbridge Connectors team has set up the Clay Tablet Platform to send assets to your translation providers.
• Lionbridge is your company’s translation provider, and Freeway is already set up for your company.

What you should already know

This document assumes that:

• You are familiar with the Connector’s configuration for your Episerver instance, and the reasons for choosing certain configuration options. This is important because your company’s configuration determines which features are available.
• You have a strong working knowledge of Episerver.
• You are familiar with your company’s translation process and requirements.
• You have valid user credentials to log into Episerver.
• You have the required permissions to access the Connector functionality described in this guide.
