Introduction

The TranslationOS connector for Lokalise allows you to outsource your software and/or document localisation to Translated, with no need to manually import and export content or switch between tools.

This connector is fetch-based, meaning it checks Lokalise at a configurable interval for any content that you have marked for translation. To learn how to mark content for translation, see the section Requesting translations.

Support

For general questions about functionality, our dedicated support team can be reached at [email protected].

If you need technical information or you’re ready to integrate your Lokalise account with TranslationOS, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] for assistance with onboarding.

The onboarding process may vary depending on your needs, but the following steps are a helpful guideline:

  1. Translated will ask you to add a dedicated team member.
  2. Translated will enable you to test the connector in sandbox mode, which means that you will get back machine-translated content to test the user experience.
  3. You will agree with Translated on the required service levels, also known as service types. Translated will take care of configuring the connector for you.
  4. We will be ready to receive, process and deliver your translation requests!

Setting up the connector

All that’s required to allow us to configure your connector is adding a team member that will be used by the connector. In the case of document projects, a setting also needs to be enabled.

Click Add team member, then fill in the Add team users pop-up form.

  1. E-mail addresses: Translated will provide you with the email address to insert. It will typically take the form [email protected].
  2. Project: for now, select any of the projects; more can be added later.
  3. Role: select Administrator.
  4. Reviewer: enable if required.
  5. Reference languages (view): select the languages you would like to assign to us.
  6. Contributable languages (edit): select the languages you would like to assign to us.

Click Add team user. Translated will receive an invitation to create an account and will take care of the required steps. Once the connector is operational, it will perform all actions on Lokalise by impersonating this user.
