Translations.com GlobalLink Connect

Introduction

This module connects Drupal 7.x and Drupal 8.x to Translations.com's translation management system, GlobalLink. You will need a Translations.com account to connect your Drupal site to their GlobalLink product. Additionally, the Drupal 8.x integration relies on integration via the Translation Management Tool module (found here).

GlobalLink® Connect for Drupal CMS

Nearly every CMS is able to create informational websites that broadcast from "one to many" right out of the box. However, Drupal goes a step further, empowering its individual site users to create content and connect with each other—moving from "one to many" to "many to many."

Translations.com's GlobalLink Suite integrates with the Drupal CMS, providing users with a powerful solution to initiate, automate, control, track, and complete all facets of the translation process. Through the unique combination of Drupal functionality and the extended workflow capabilities of GlobalLink, our clients have a comprehensive platform to manage enterprise content for markets around the globe.

Features

• Content Control - GlobalLink Connect for Drupal offers the ability to easily identify and route content for translation while simultaneously enhancing control over source content during the translation process.
• Rapid Deployment - GlobalLink Connect for Drupal has a minimal impact on your IT environment and staff. No dedicated hardware or IT personnel are required, and Translations.com will provide world-class technical support and installation services to meet all your global needs.
• Seamless Integration - Designed to build upon the Drupal internationalization module in Drupal 7.x and the Translation Management Tool module in Drupal 8.x, the GlobalLink Connect for Drupal module enables business users to initiate translation workflows without having to leave the Drupal user interface.
• Intuitive Interface - Business users can send selected pages or stories for translation using only a few clicks or extend the Drupal taxonomy module using GlobalLink Term Manager.
• Rapid Return on Investment - GlobalLink provides immediate relief to IT departments and business users who are overburdened by the complex demands of supporting manual initiation and control of multilingual content workflows. The integrated solution also provides better visibility into the localization process for budgetary analysis.
• Translation Memory Integration - GlobalLink is the only solution that allows Drupal users to access translation memory (TM) assets directly within the Drupal environment. Drupal users can view TM information – including instant statistics on leveraged content – via optional integration with the GlobalLink TM Server module.
