Creating translation projects
You use the standard functionality provided in Adobe Experience Manager to create translation projects. The XTM Cloud connector manages these projects, sends them to XTM Cloud for translation by Linguists and returns them to the appropriate locations in the Adobe Experience Manager content tree when they are completed.
In Adobe Experience Manager, you can use different methods to create translation projects. Its flexibility enables you to create the kind of project you need. Find the project type that you need, in this table. Follow the link in the Project description column to view the help for creating that type of project. For more information, select the link for the relevant Adobe Inc. online help.
Translation service providers
The default translation service provider to which a translation project will be sent for translation is defined globally, in Adobe Experience Manager. A default translation service provider must be configured, in your Adobe Experience Manager instance. There, one of the system administrators, or a Translation requester, can change the default translation service provider or configure multiple translation service providers.
