Hi Team,

One of our customer is planning to use the translation feature for their site. So, we need some suggestion or steps on what are all the required paths that would need permission to implement this enhancement with their site.

Also, any additional packages or any configuration changes are needed to handover the feature to the customer.

AEM details:
AEM version: 6.5.22 on-premise.

Additionally, it would be very helpful if i could get any training links or adobe articles for reference.

Thanks & regards,
Aishwarya Karthikeyan

hi, there is a lot of official content to start from, please have a look.

Taken from Translating Content for Multilingual Sites:

Translating content involves the following steps:

Connect AEM with your translation service provider and create translation integration framework configurations.
Associate the pages of your language master with the translation service and framework configurations.
Identify the type of content to translate.
Prepare the content for translation by authoring the language master and creating the root pages of language copies.
Create translation projects to gather the content to translate and to prepare the translation process.
Use the translation projects to manage the content translation process.

Hi @aishwaryaka

Translation Framework comes with AEM.
What you need is a Translation connector, which basically perform translation.

Either you can build your own translation connector based out of https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/aem-translation-framework-bootstrap-connector/tree/master

Or you can use existing translation connector

1. Built-in Connector:

Microsoft Translator: AEM includes a built-in connector for Microsoft Translator(with Trial Key), enabling translation of page content and assets.

2. Third-party Connectors (available through Adobe Exchange Partner Program):

Smartling: Offers an AEM connector for its translation services.
SDL WorldServer: Provides an AEM connector for its translation management system.
SDL TMS: Another SDL solution with a dedicated AEM connector.
Translations.com (GlobalLink Connect): Offers an AEM connector for its GlobalLink platform.
Bureau Works: While not explicitly listed as a connector, they offer various AEM integrations and connectors.
