Translation and Localization Services
When translating online content, CMS like Drupal and Magento require a plugin, connector, or API in order for translation agencies to upload the content to their CAT tool. For example, the WPML plugin used for WordPress, allows content to be published and translated as it is produced, keeping the multilingual site in line with the original language site.
There are many connectors available that transfer content from third-party CMS solutions such as WordPress, Drupal, Magento, etc.
APIs, like connectors, allow websites and applications to be programmatically integrated with the platforms of translation services. A custom-made CMS requires an API based on the architecture of the CMS.
For the translation of your web content, the most practical and cost-effective solution is to contact a specialized translation agency to connect your API/connector with their translation platforms to handle the automation/export of content.
CAT tools like Trados, Phrase and Smartcat can then be used for the actual translation. In this way, new or updated content is sent directly to your language service provider, and localization can be achieved without unnecessary delay.
At BeTranslated we provide a variety of tailored, supported solutions for CMS, offering multinationals and SMBs continuous localization services. Continuous translation means your own personalized, non-stop human translation service for streamed or frequently updated content.

Using Smartcat’s API, it is possible to develop connectors relatively fast. Depending on the complexity, around 6 weeks might be sufficient for a developer. The Smartcat team can recommend partners and 3rd party development teams if the user does not have internal resources.
We are regularly updating this list as new connectors are added.
