If you're looking for a step-by-step guide on configuring AEM integration, visit this link. Once you've set up the AEM integration in Smartcat, you can proceed to translate your content seamlessly.

Creating a Translation Job

Open AEM and navigate to the site area. Select the page(s) inside the site structure.

Click Create and select Language copy.

In the next window, you can double-check that all the pages are selected correctly for translation and add more pages if needed. If you want subpages to be included, use toggle on the right.

Use the checkbox to select all pages and confirm your choice, then click Next.

On the next screen, specify the target language. Add as many as you need.

Your next step is to create a project. To avoid the creation of any additional folders in AEM, you can create a multilingual project. Enter the title for your project and click Create.

You will be redirected to the projects area of AEM, where all translation projects will be stored.

Translation process

Open your project. You will see a job for each language that you previously selected as the target language.

Note : AEM does not allow you to have one job for several languages.

Each translation job will be connected with the Smartcat project. Currently, these jobs are in the Draft stage.

To check that all of your content was added to the translation job, click on the three dots.

If your project contains content fragments or other assets, they will be displayed as separate folders, not as single pages.

To start the job, click on the arrow-down icon and select Start from the context menu.

To start the job, click on the arrow-down icon and select Start from the context menu. After you see the green notification, refresh the page. You’ll see that the status has changed to Translation in Progress. This means that the content has been sent to Smartcat.

Open your workspace in Smartcat and navigate to the Projects tab. You can see that for each language a separate project was created.

Open the Files tab. Review the translation for each content fragment by confirming segments in each file. You can assign the review for a human reviewer. Here is the best way to do it.

After the translation review is done, go back to the AEM page and refresh the page.

Open your job and you will see that the status of the page is changed to Ready for review.

Select your page and click Preview in Sites.

Review your translated content.
