Set up and use the Smartcat–inriver integration

Overview

The Smartcat–inriver integration connects your inriver product information management account with Smartcat so you can translate product content and sync it back to inriver. This guide covers the prerequisites, configuring the integration, and using it end to end.

Prerequisites

Before you set up the Smartcat–inriver integration, collect the following parameters:

• inriver Base URL

• inriver REST API key

inriver Base URL

You find the Base URL for your inriver account in your browser's address bar (for example, https://company-name.productmarketingcloud.com/).

inriver REST API key

1. Log in to inriver Control Center using your administrative credentials

2. On the Control Center start page, go to User Management

3. Within User Management, find the section for API key management, where you can create, view, and manage your API keys

📌 The exact interface elements and their locations may vary depending on your inriver version and configuration.

You now have both the Base URL and the REST API key needed to configure the integration.

Configuring the integration

1. In your Smartcat account, go to Integrations → Add new integration

2. Find inriver and click Set up integration

3. Name the integration and provide your inriver Base URL and inriver REST API key

   

4. Pick your inriver account's source locale or language

The integration is now configured and ready to use.

Using the integration

1. Select your content and click Create translation

2. Choose whether to create a new project in Smartcat or upload a file to an existing project

   

3. Enter the project data, such as name, deadline, and source and target language. You can select multiple target languages

4. Select the appropriate workflow for your translation. The Automatic Translation → Post-Editing workflow lets Smartcat select the most suitable AI engine for the initial translation. Afterward, you can review the translation yourself or invite a collaborator to your project in Smartcat

   

5. Click the button to open the Integration-specific settings, then select the import mode: import existing translations or skip this step

6. Select which fields you want to import and translate

   

7. After synchronization completes, review the list of target languages shown under the title of the original file. Click the underlined title on the left to open your project in Smartcat, or click Open Editor to see the content and its translation

Your content is now imported and ready to translate in Smartcat.

Sending translations back to inriver

1. Once the translation is complete, click Send to inriver

   

2. Set the Completion level to indicate whether all steps of the translation workflow were completed

3. Confirm the Target languages

Once synchronization completes, you can see the translation in inriver.
