Introduction

The TranslationOS connector for XTM allows you to outsource the professional translation of your projects to Translated, with no need to manually import and export content or switch between tools.

This connector is fetch-based, meaning it checks XTM 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 XTM instance 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 obtain authentication credentials (see below for instructions to retrieve them) and do some simple configuration.
  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

To help us configure the connector and prepare it for production, you will need to add a new account, retrieve authentication credentials from XTM and set up a couple of custom fields. We will then complete the connector configuration for you.

Adding an account

To begin, configure an XTM account with the Project Manager role, using this email address template: <company name>[email protected].

Requesting authentication credentials

With that done, follow these instructions to obtain OAuth credentials.

Also ask XTM support for the OAuth token retrieval URL. It is typically, but not always, derived from the XTM instance URL, e.g. https://www.xtm-cloud.com/authentication-api/oauth/token.

Sending Translated the required information

Once you’ve received the OAuth credentials and token retrieval URL from XTM, send the following information to Translated securely:
