Rigi for XTM Cloud (XTM Git Connector)

XTM Cloud provides a Git connector, simplifying the process for project managers to effortlessly access and translate the most up-to-date source files within the XTM platform.

This article describes how to create a project in XTM Cloud and use Rigi to provide contextual previews for translators.

  1. Upload the source files to the Git repository.

    In this example, there is one resource file that needs to be translated (en.json) plus the Rigi solution/project descriptor files.

    Initial creation of the descriptor files

    Create your initial project in the Rigi workspace. You can then download the Rigi solution/project files.

  2. Configure a bucket in the Git connector in XTM Cloud.

    To set up the Git connector in XTM Cloud and connect it to the repository created in the previous step, please refer to the XTM Cloud documentation for comprehensive instructions and specifics.

  3. Go to the XTM Connect tab.

    The Git repository now contains the resource file with Rigi tokens.

  5. Install the file with Rigi tokens in the staging application as a separate language pack.

    For example, the Rigi demonstration application has a language selector in which you can select the Rigi language (RG):

  6. Capture HTML Previews. For details, see the Capture HTML previews for web applications guide.

  7. Open XTM > Projects .

  8. Click Project > Hamburger > Manage Workflow .

    1. Ensure that the linguists are assigned.

    Once the Workbench opens, the Rigi Viewer automatically opens in a new tab (make sure that popups are not blocked).

  11. Display the XTM editor and the Rigi Viewer side-by-side. You can now translate in context.

  12. Click Finish when the translations are done.

    XTM will commit the target resource files. They will appear in the Git repo shortly after.

  13. Open the generated file to see the translations: XTM also uploaded the target translations to Rigi.

  14. Open Rigi > Texts > String list to see the translations.

Language test

As a next step, you can conduct a Language test, in which language testers review translations in context and provide feedback. For details, see the Manage reviews (LATs) guides.

After this step, the translators can correct the review comments in the current project.
