  • A Language Translation Service for Documentum
    A LANGUAGE TRANSLATION SERVICE FOR DOCUMENTUM M. Scott Roth Director of Technology Armedia, LL [email protected] Overview In our highly-connected and diverse society, the expectation that online content be available in multiple languages is greater today than ever before. Licensing agreements, rules and regulations, disclaimers, and forms on websites belonging to software vendors, credit card companies, insurers, and other service providers are expected to be available in users’ native languages. For international companies, this can mean managing and maintaining these documents in multiple languages. From a content management perspective, how do you produce, manage, and maintain all of these translations? What if the “source” document changes, how do these changes ripple through to the rest of the translations? What if one of the translations needs to be “tweaked”, how do you keep its version in synch with the source document? This article discusses a solution for creating and maintaining multiple translations of content in a Documentum repository. The solution uses the inherent content management capabilities of the Documentum Content Server to manage content, versions, and relationships among documents, and leverages the Content Server’s infrastructure (specifically, Service-based Objects, asynchronous jobs, and external database tables) to integrate with a translation services provider for the production of translations. The translation services provider used in this integration is Lingotek (http://www.lingotek.com). Lingotek offers a comprehensive RESTful API that integrates easily with Documentum to provide a seamless solution for the production and management of multilingual content. 2015 EMC Proven Professional Knowledge Sharing 2 Table of Contents 1 Introduction ........................................................................................................................

    LINGOTEK EBOOK 2018 How the connector integrates--its features, functions & capabilities-- is the key differentiator between translation technology providers. All translation connectors are not created equal. When exploring the multilingual plugins offered by the Language Services Provider (LSP) for your content management system, remember that it is not only about the platforms it supports, but how well it will integrate with your system. There are several connectors in the marketplace that can help integrate translation with your existing enterprise applications, but finding the best one can be difficult if you aren’t familiar with the features and functions that are available. To find the best fit for your organization, you need to know what to look for. This buyer’s guide reviews what connectors are, why you should use them, and the benefits of a tool that is quite simply, the future of translation. It will highlight the most important functions of connectors and the range of capabilities to help you make an informed decision on an integration that will automate and simplify translation now and well into the future.

    Programme - List of abstracts Saturday, November 30th, Faculty of Law, Veveri 70, Brno 9:30 - 11:00 Parallel streams Law: Intellectual Property On-Line (Licensing) - Room 025 chaired by Andreas Wiebe, Matěj Myška Pedro Dias Venâncio Smart Contracts and Free Use of Copyright Works The enthusiastic preachers of the Blockchain have proclaimed among the miraculous deeds of this blessed technology the possibility of entering into “smart contracts”, self-executing, and thus immune to non-compliance. Blockchain “is a growing list of records, called blocks, that are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is resistant to modification of the data” (Wikipedia). For those who advocate its use, these characteristics make it the ideal technology for the development of so-called smart contracts. “A smart contract is a computer protocol intended to digitally facilitate, verify, or enforce the negotiation or performance of a contract. (…) Proponents of smart contracts claim that many kinds of contractual clauses may be made partially or fully self-executing, self-enforcing, or both.” (Wikipedia) Some authors have been advocating these smart contracts as a more effective alternative to technological measures of copyright protection. The technology would allow to bind users and holders copyrights on digital works, with electronic contracts that limit the use of the protected works to the agreed terms. What I propose to discuss in my presentation is the extent to which these smart contracts are not limited (or in violation) of mandatory statutory rules that grant users / consumers of cultural works certain free and inalienable rights of use.
