The Missing Link between Content and Translation

Kalcium Contentflow: Simple and Intelligent

Automate and standardize. Speed up processes and eliminate error sources. Does this sound like your wish list? If you are active in the field of translation and content, we have some excellent new features for you: Kalcium Contentflow makes data exchange – for example between the systems used to create and manage your content and the translation software – reliable, quick, and easy. What's more, the Kalcium Contentflow middleware contains a special logic that is normally not present in CAT tools, for example classification of projects in a queue based on the date/time or volume. In addition, you can run external tools or scripts in order to process source or target files, or call up external systems to process files further or retrieve additional information. You can draw process-relevant or other metadata from the input files using the integrated file parser and make these available for automation, sending e-mails, or reporting. The integrated notification system in Kalcium Contentflow continually informs all stakeholders about all ongoing processes and their status.

Automation Made Easy – and Strictly Standardized

Kalcium Contentflow is configured intuitively via a graphical user interface. Once configured, Kalcium Contentflow runs smoothly as a Windows service on a server and automates your translation projects. The data and metadata required for automation and translation are transferred back and forth between the content repositories and Kalcium Contentflow via five different gateways:

Watched folders
COTI
TAPICC
Submitting projects via Kalcium Web UI
Third-party connectors

Watched folder

As soon as a file is placed in a watched folder, Kalcium Contentflow reads the metadata necessary for process control and starts the corresponding workflow that you have pre-configured.

COTI

Kalcium Contentflow meets the first two of three levels of the COTI standard: COTI Level 1 is a simple, file-based approach; COTI Level 2 is an automated step based on hot folders; and COTI Level 3 is a full, deeply integrated API connection.
COTI was developed by DERCOM, the Association of German Manufacturers of Authoring and Content Management Systems, and standardizes metadata exchange between CMSs and CAT tools.

TAPICC

Of course, Kalcium Contentflow also makes use of TAPICC automation possibilities. This industry initiative was created by GALA (Globalization and Localization Association) and defines how content can be exchanged between content and localization systems.

Web portal

You simply start translation tasks via a web portal and browser. Completed tasks then arrive in your e-mail inbox or are downloaded from the portal.

Connectors

Kalcium Contentflow can also connect to third-party connectors via API or TAPICC to enable integration into various systems such as CAT tools, CMS, diverse content storage systems, different front ends, and business applications. This makes it possible to translate content from WordPress, TYPO3, Adobe Experience Manager, or Drupal using your RWS translation software, for instance.
