Purpose of this guide

This guide describes how to use the Lionbridge App for Marketo (Lionbridge App) to manage your translation lifecycle. It describes how to send out assets 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 Marketo. This guide is also useful for translation providers who receive content for translation from Marketo, because it describes your company’s translation management process.

What your company setup should be

This document assumes that:

• Your company already is using Marketo.
• The Lionbridge App has been added, configured, and tested in your Marketo environment.
• The Lionbridge Connector Team has set up the Lionbridge CloudBroker for your company to use the Lionbridge App to send out content for translation from Marketo.
• The Lionbridge Connector Team has set up the Clay Tablet Platform to send content to your translation providers.
• Optional. If Lionbridge is your company’s translation provider, then Freeway is already set up for your company.

What you should already know

This document assumes that:

• You are familiar with the Lionbridge App’s configuration for Marketo, 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 Marketo.
• You are familiar with your company’s translation process and requirements.
• You have valid user credentials to log into Marketo.
• You have valid user credentials to access the Lionbridge App functionality described in this guide.
