How the Connector Helps You Manage Your Translation Lifecycle

The Lionbridge Connector for SAP Commerce (“Connector”) is a plug-in module for Hybris, SAP Commerce, and SAP Commerce Cloud. It provides a range of features and user interface enhancements that enable you to select, send, monitor, and retrieve content for translation into any supported language.

These features automate the process, which dramatically reduces the effort and time required to export and re-import content that needs to be localized. This is very helpful when translating large volumes of content or ensuring that translated content is quickly re-imported to meet deadlines.

When you use the Connector, you manage your translation lifecycle entirely from within Hybris, SAP Commerce, or SAP Commerce Cloud (“e-commerce platform”):

  1. The Connector exports your content from the e-commerce platform in XML format and delivers these content files to the central, hosted Lionbridge Content API Platform.
  2. The Lionbridge Content API Platform delivers your content to your translation providers, based on routing rules that your company chooses and the Lionbridge Connector Team implements.
  3. When the translated content is ready, the Lionbridge Content API Platform retrieves it from your translators and delivers it to the Connector.
  4. The Connector automatically re-imports the content into the correct location in the e-commerce platform.

You can then review, revise, reject, or publish the translated content as needed.

Note: Neither the Connector nor the Lionbridge Content API Platform performs any translation. Similarly, the Lionbridge Connector Team does not provide any translation services. Your company chooses the translation provider that performs the translation.
