Configuration (Oracle)

Users

Consult Lingotek documentation for information on how to set up the initial community administrator.
WebCenter Sites users cannot be in the form of an email address, yet Lingotek users usually are. WebCenter Sites users are therefore represented in Lingotek using the following format:

<sites userid>@<community id>

When logging in to Lingotek as a community administrator, this is how the automatically-created Sites users will appear. Users working with the integration must have Project Management privileges to work with Sites. The following steps should be followed:

1. Log in to the workbench using your community administrator userid and password.
2. From the Community menu, select Members.
   
   

Click on the Sites user (in the form <sites userid>@<community id> to view their configuration screen.

3. Beside the Is Project Manager setting, click on Add to add project management privileges.

Your user will be able to work with Sites.

Other Lingotek Features

See Lingotek Documentation for help setting up Translation Memory Vaults, Translation Workflows, and Translation Projects.

Projects

WebCenter Sites projects in Lingotek must allow community members to manage the project contents: they must be allowed to add new documents for download, fetch translations, and so-on. To enable this, a special setting must be made on the project by the project owner. The following describes the steps:

1. Log in to the workbench using your community administrator user ID and password.
2. From the Project menu, choose the list of all projects.
3. Click on your project.
4. Click on the Settings tab.
5. Under Project Details, click on EDIT.
6. Beside the Allows Community Project Management heading, select YES.
7. Click Save.

Your project can now be managed by community members (Sites users).

Callback URL

Consult Lingotek documentation regarding callback URL usage. The URL format is:

http://<hostname>:<port>/cs/Satellite?pagename=GST/Dispatcher&action=class:com.lingotek.owcs11g.action.AssetUpdatedInLingotek&document_id={document_id}&target_language={target_language}

where <hostname> and <port> are the hostname and port of your WebCenter Sites installation that will be sending assets to Lingotek.

Sync Methods

There are two ways of automatically downloading translations from Lingotek to WebCenter Sites. A WCS System Event named CheckDocsReadyForDownload runs every 15 seconds that uses two different methods of checking if an asset is ready to download from Lingotek:

• Callback URL Sync – The default, and preferred way, of checking for assets ready to download is the Callback URL. The Callback URL adds an asset to a queue in WCS which tells this System Event to download that asset. This sync method is always enabled and requires the Callback URL to be configured in the Lingotek system. See the Callback URL section above regarding the format of this URL.

• Manual Sync – This method involves manually telling WCS to download a translation from Lingotek. This is done from the Contributor UI by clicking the Download Lingotek Translation button in the asset toolbar.

• Pull Sync – This method should be used sparingly since it greatly increases the frequency of API calls to the Lingotek system. For all assets in WCS that have been sent to Lingotek but are still incomplete (as downloaded to WCS), this method queries the Lingotek system every time the System Event is run to check if those assets have been completed in Lingotek.

Translation Profiles

By default the Send for Translation step action form allows you to choose a Lingotek project and TM Vault from all projects and TM Vaults in Lingotek that are accessible by the WCS batch user property xcelerate.batchuser. To simplify this Send for Translation step action, the Lingotek Integration has Translation Profiles. Translation Profiles are configured with a specific Lingotek project and TM Vault and WCS Role. Then, in the Send for Translation step action, users can simply choose a Translation Profile and not worry about which project and TM Vault to select. Alternately, you users can still choose a specific project and TM Vault instead of a Translation Profile. Translation Profiles can be configured from the Lingotek WEM App > Tools > Translation Profiles menu.

Asset Subtype Configurations

By default when installing the Lingotek Integration, you choose which WCS attributes to send to Lingotek for an entire asset type (via the WEM app Install wizard). But sometimes you need a more granular level of configuration. But you can also configure which attributes to send to Lingotek for a specific asset subtype. This can be done from the Lingotek WEM App > Tools > Asset Subtype Configurations menu. These configurations override whichever attributes were configured at the asset type level.
