WAKEFIELD, Massachusetts and MAIDENHEAD, England, August 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

SDL's Translation Technology Allows Users to Accelerate Their Global Strategy   

As part of its extensive partner strategy, SDL (LSE: SDL) today announced an update to its integration with Adobe Experience Manager. The enhanced integration to SDL WorldServer and SDL TMS allows users to work with the latest release of Experience Manager in addition to prior product versions, quickly submitting and easily managing translation projects for multilingual content from within Experience Manager.

SDL WorldServer and SDL TMS accelerate, centralize and automate global translation tasks, reducing the cost of supporting local language content. With this integration to SDL, Experience Manager users can transform manual, disparate translation processes into a centralized, fully administered program.

"Global customers expect businesses' websites to speak their language, regardless of the channel in which they engage," said Thomas Labarthe, EVP of Business and Corporate Development, SDL. "To meet this demand, it's imperative to link content and language processes, delivering local language across every step of the customer journey.

"We're pleased to extend our relationship with SDL to help joint customers achieve success."

Hosted as an app on the Adobe Exchange marketplace, the integration requires minimal installation effort and configuration. End users can create translation projects, upload content for translation, review project status and retrieve translated assets directly to and from those in Experience Manager. In many cases, there is no need to leave the Experience Manager user interface, meaning there are no new systems to learn or logins to remember. Businesses can create and manage their global multi-channel experiences within Experience Manager. With the SDL integration, they can operate at global scale with the agility of local teams managing multi-channel interactions.

Using the Experience Manager integration, users can:
