Translation Manager
Connectors
Connectors plug Translation Manager into the service that does the actual translating, like an agency, a machine translation API, or an AI model. Start with XLIFF files, which work with everything, and move to a direct integration when you are ready.
-
XLIFF File Connector
Import and export translations in the industry-standard XLIFF 1.2 or 2.0 file formats. XLIFF is used the world over by translators and works with all major translation software, including SDL Trados.
Included in the default install of Translation Manager

AI Connector
Translate with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, GitHub Models or Ollama. You set up the provider, model and prompt in Translation Manager's own settings. Use this one if your site doesn't use Umbraco.AI.

Not seeing your translation service? The connector model is a documented extension point, so a service with an API can be integrated against it. Get in touch and we will tell you what is involved, or point you at the connector documentation.
Content goes from your site straight to the service you configure. See where your content goes for each connector.
Connectors for older Umbraco versions - including SDL Managed Translation, SDL WorldServer and yTranslate - were built for Umbraco v7 and v8. If you need one of those, ask us.
