The Language Translation Extension functionality leverages the Change Notification functionality to facilitate having a third-party generate language translations for changes to data within EnterWorks.
The following diagram shows the basic flow of data for the Language Translation process:
The Change Notification/Translation registry repositories identify which repositories and the attributes within the are to be translated. When a change is made to data in the Company Data Model (data repositories), a change event is generated. If this event is associated with a registered translation, a Translation Request is submitted to an internal Change Notification Translation queue.
On a periodic basis, such as nightly, a Scheduled Export is launched that retrieves the most-recent translation requests from the Change Notification Translation Queue along with optional descriptive data from the Company data and generates two files. The first file is submitted to the Translation Company via FTP (this can also be Email or Network file directory). The second file updates the Change Notification Translation Log to identify which repositories, records, and attributes have been submitted for translation.
The translation company retrieves and processes each translation file, returning a translated file to the FTP server (or network file location or configured Email address). A scheduled import retrieves each update file and pre-processes it into two import files. The first file updates the designated language attributes in the Company data repository. The second file updates the Change Notification Translation Log repository to indicate translations have been received for the requests.
