For web teams managing multilingual Umbraco websites on the Microsoft .NET stack
Umbraco
Translation Connector
Translate Umbraco web content, pages, and properties across 200+ languages — directly from your Umbraco site, with one-click submission, XML-based export and import, and no manual file handling required.
Submit content for translation in a single click, track every project through the GPI Translation Portal, and receive finished localizations into each target language for each content item in Umbraco — following Umbraco's native translator workflow and ready for editorial review.
Scaling Multilingual Umbraco Websites Beyond Manual Translation Workflows
With more than 375,000 installations, Umbraco is one of the most widely deployed open-source CMS platforms on the Microsoft .NET stack. Its native multilingual capabilities — including a dedicated translator workflow, XML export/import, and .NET localization features — provide a strong foundation for multilingual websites. But connecting that foundation to professional translation services at scale requires a purpose-built workflow.
Web teams managing multilingual Umbraco sites — agencies building multilingual client sites, enterprises managing regional microsites, and .NET development teams supporting international publishing — face manual coordination bottlenecks that grow more costly with every new language or content update added to the Umbraco implementation.
Professional Translation, Integrated Directly Into Your Umbraco Website
The GPI connector streamlines the complete localization cycle for Umbraco — from content selection through to language-version delivery — connecting Umbraco's native multilingual architecture to GPI's ISO-certified professional translation services.
Content editors and localization managers initiate translation from within Umbraco using the platform's translator workflow. The connector handles all XML content extraction, secure transfer, and reimport — routing work through GPI's certified translation workflows and returning localized content ready to review and publish across every language version of the Umbraco site.

A six-step automated pipeline — from content authoring in Umbraco to multilingual publication across every language version of your .NET website.
Key Features of the Umbraco Translation Connector
Six capabilities purpose-built for Umbraco's open-source .NET architecture — enabling content editors, web agencies, and localization managers to scale multilingual website delivery without manual XML workflows, developer dependency, or quality inconsistencies across language versions.
Native Umbraco Integration
Integrates directly with Umbraco's backoffice and native translator account — no custom development required. The connector works within Umbraco's existing multilingual architecture and translator workflow, enabling content editors to submit pages for professional translation without leaving the Umbraco interface or installing complex third-party plugins.
XML-Based Content Export & Import
Leverages Umbraco's native XML export/import capability — the platform's standard format for content exchange — to extract translatable content and reimport completed translations into the correct Umbraco language version. Content structure, property mappings, and multilingual relationships are fully preserved throughout the XML round-trip.
Dedicated Translator Account & Workflow
Integrates with Umbraco's built-in translator account and translation workflow — the dedicated role and process that Umbraco provides for managing website localization. The GPI connector connects this native workflow to professional translation services, giving translators, editors, and localization managers a seamless end-to-end process from within the Umbraco environment.
Real-Time Project Tracking Portal
Monitor translation project status, access quotes and proposals, review delivery schedules, and manage global localization programs through the GPI Translation Portal — with secure 24/7 access for content teams, web agencies, and regional stakeholders collaborating on multilingual Umbraco websites across .NET hosting environments.
Flexible Translation Workflows
Select the approach that matches your Umbraco site and audience — fully human translation by ISO 17100-certified linguists for brand-critical pages and marketing content, AI-powered NMT with ISO 18587-certified post-editing for high-volume editorial content and frequently updated pages, or a blended model per content type and publishing urgency.
Enterprise Security & ISO Certification
Every Umbraco translation project is protected by ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 17100 (Translation Services), and ISO 18587 (MT Post-Editing) — the professional quality and security standard required by web agencies, enterprise .NET teams, and organizations delivering multilingual Umbraco sites to international audiences.
Benefits for Umbraco Web Teams and Agencies
The Umbraco Translation Connector delivers measurable operational gains for web agencies, enterprise .NET development teams, and localization managers building and maintaining multilingual Umbraco websites across the platform's 375,000+ active installation community.
Accelerate Multilingual Website Launches and Updates
Replace manual XML coordination cycles with an automated translation pipeline. Content moves from the Umbraco backoffice through the translator workflow to finished language versions in a streamlined process — enabling faster multilingual publication and reducing the gap between source content updates and localized site delivery across all Umbraco language versions.
Leverage Umbraco's Native Multilingual Architecture
The connector works with — not around — Umbraco's built-in multilingual features: dedicated translator account, XML export format, and language version management. Every translated page is returned into the correct Umbraco language version via the same XML structure the platform is designed to use — no proprietary formats, no workarounds.
Deliver Professional Quality Across Every Language Version
ISO-certified translation workflows ensure consistent terminology, tone, and accuracy across all language versions of the Umbraco site. Web agencies can confidently deliver multilingual Umbraco implementations to clients knowing every language version meets the same professional localization standard as the source — with GPI's 25+ years of expertise behind every project.
Scale Across Umbraco Sites and New Language Markets
As your Umbraco implementation grows — new pages, new content types, new regional sites, new languages — the connector scales with it. Add target languages without rebuilding the localization workflow, and expand multilingual coverage across Umbraco Cloud or on-premises .NET deployments while maintaining the same certified quality standards.
Translate Every Type of Umbraco Content
The connector supports the complete range of Umbraco translatable content — from web pages and properties to custom document types and media content — using XML-based export and import that preserves Umbraco's content structure and multilingual language version architecture throughout every translation project.
Full language coverage including complex scripts and right-to-left layouts — compatible with Umbraco's built-in multilingual site capabilities and Microsoft .NET localization and internationalization features.
Use Cases for the Umbraco Translation Connector
From digital agencies building multilingual client sites to enterprise .NET teams managing global web properties — see how organizations in the Umbraco community use the GPI connector to localize websites at scale.
Digital Agencies Building Multilingual Client Sites
Web agencies using Umbraco to build client websites across multiple markets use the GPI connector to deliver professionally localized Umbraco implementations — adding ISO-certified translation workflows to client projects without increasing development overhead or requiring clients to manage manual XML export cycles independently.
Enterprise .NET Teams Managing Regional Websites
Enterprise organizations running Umbraco on Microsoft .NET for corporate websites, regional microsites, and brand properties use the connector to manage multilingual content across language versions — maintaining consistent brand voice and content accuracy across every market without per-language developer involvement.
Editorial & Publishing Teams With High Content Velocity
Publishing organizations and content-heavy Umbraco sites with frequent updates use the connector to keep language versions current alongside source content — submitting updated pages for re-translation as content evolves, with the translator workflow keeping every language version synchronized without rebuilding the localization process per update cycle.
Umbraco Cloud & Headless Deployment Teams
Teams deploying Umbraco via Umbraco Cloud or in headless configurations use the connector to integrate professional translation into cloud-hosted and API-driven multilingual architectures — ensuring localized content is available across delivery channels regardless of hosting model, from traditional .NET server deployments to modern headless frontend implementations.
