What Is a CMS Translation Connector?

A CMS translation connector is a specialized integration that automates the workflow between your content management system and professional translation services.

Single-Click Translation Workflow

GPI's Translation Services Connectors enable users of enterprise CMS platforms to launch and manage multi-language websites with streamlined content export and reimport capabilities. With a single click, content is automatically extracted from your CMS, sent for professional translation, and seamlessly synchronized back into your system—eliminating manual processes and reducing time-to-market for global content.

We can provide website localization services under a multitude of client-driven workflows including directly interfacing with your WCMS, receiving exported XML/XLIFF content, or deploying a custom connector between your CMS and our Translation Portal.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a CMS translation connector differ from a multilingual plugin?

Multilingual plugins add language management capabilities to your CMS but still require manual translation processes. Translation connectors automate the entire workflow—from content extraction through professional translation to reimport—integrating directly with translation management systems and translation memory databases.

Can I use my existing translation vendors?

GPI's connectors are designed to work with GPI's professional translation services, which include ISO-certified workflows, translation memory management, and dedicated project teams. This ensures quality, consistency, and seamless integration with the connector workflow.

What content types can be translated?

Connectors support all CMS content types including pages, posts, custom content types, taxonomy terms, metadata, and digital assets. Platform-specific capabilities vary—for example, Sitecore connectors handle items and templates, while Drupal connectors support entity translation for nodes, blocks, and configuration.

How long does connector implementation take?

Implementation timelines vary by platform complexity and customization requirements. Standard connector deployments typically take 2-4 weeks including configuration, testing, and team training. Custom integrations may require additional time.

Do connectors support machine translation?

Yes, GPI offers AI-powered Neural Machine Translation (NMT) with optional post-editing as part of our ISO 18587 certified workflows. You can choose between human translation, machine translation with post-editing, or hybrid approaches based on content type and quality requirements.

Can we use our existing translation memory?

Yes, existing translation memories can be imported and integrated into the connector workflow. This ensures continuity of terminology and maximizes cost savings through content reuse across all translation projects.

What security measures protect our content?

GPI maintains ISO 27001 certification for information security management. All content transfer is encrypted, access is role-based and audited, and our security framework adheres to world-renowned high standards for enterprise data protection.

Is there a cost for the connector?

Connectors are provided as part of the translation workflow integration with GPI's localization services. Implementation and ongoing connector support are included in your translation service agreement.
