1.2 - Configuring the Connector

Since Oracle Content and Experience (OCE) is a cloud-based environment, you do not install the Lionbridge Connector for OCE (Connector). The Connector is a plug-in on the OCE cloud-based content hub.

To add the Connector and configure it to work with Oracle Content and Experience (OCE), you complete the following general steps:
  1. Create a translation connector in OCE. For detailed instructions, see Creating a Translation Connector in Oracle Content and Experience.

  2. Create a localization policy, which defines whether a translation is required and if so, what are the required and optional languages for assets. For a detailed description and instructions, refer to the OCE documentation at: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/content-cloud/managing-assets/create-localization-policies.html.

  3. Add the localization policy you just created to a publishing channel, which determines the release rules applied to items in a repository. For detailed instructions, refer to the OCE documentation at: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/content-cloud/managing-assets/create-and-share-publishing-channels.html.

  4. Create or edit a repository, which enables you to manage all the assets you need for one purpose in one place.

  • In the Translation Connectors dropdown list, select the translation connector you created in step 1, above.

  • In the Publishing Channels dropdown list, select the publishing channel you created or edited in step 3, above.

For detailed instructions, refer to the OCE documentation at: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/content-cloud/managing-assets/create-and-manage-asset-repositories.html.

When the configuration is complete, OCE users can start using the Connector to manage translations. For detailed instructions, refer to the OCE documentation.
