GlobalLink Rhythmyx Adaptor

An organization with Percussion Rhythmyx implemented always looks for ways to have a consistent and efficient way to manage content creation and the publication process. Why should the localization process of content in your Rhythmyx environment be any different?

GlobalLink provides seemless integration with the latest version of Rhythmyx so that business users can easily manage the localization process within the Rhythmyx environment. This allows for a scalable, repeatable and efficient process to allow external localization services provider(s) to localize Rhythmyx content without needing direct access to Rhythmyx.

Using the officially supported Percussion Rhythmyx Web Services API's, the GlobalLink Rhythmyx Adaptor allows GlobalLink to understand all customized content types defined in Rhythmyx, and to extract from, and insert content back into Rhythmyx. Localizable content is extracted as XML and after the translation is completed, the foreign language content is automatically updated directly into Rhythmyx. Using Workflow Actions, the translated workflow transition can be configured into any workflow within Rhythmyx. This allows you to control when content is sent out for translation. Additionally, when the translated content is returned, you can define what workflow transition should be automatically invoked so that the translated content automatically moves to the next step in the workflow (i.e. to the review or publish step).

Key Benefits

• Minimize the changes to the localization workflow - There is no need to train your localization service provider to use Rhythmyx or any other tools.
• Facilitate the use of Translation Memory - All translation Memory technology most commonly used by localization service provider will not support any web-base editing User Interface and providing them with content in its original format is necessary to leverage any TM created before and after.
• Manage content in other technologies - GlobalLink can be configured to manage content stored not only in Rhythmyx but any other legacy IT infrastucture, such as a file server or a database so that Rhythmyx users can have centralized access to all content pertaining to the localization requirement.
• Streamline the localization processes - Through the automatic content extraction and insertion process, GlobalLink ensures all possible human errors are avoided.
