Cost-cutting B2B solutions... |
Brussels, March 28, 2007 - Connexion Corporate Communications SA/NV, a prominent integrator of WCM Solutions and provider of B2B multilingual web and print communication solutions, announces at the Entreprendre / Ondernemen 2007 Trade Fair in Brussels, that they have joined the international Drupal Community and that they integrate their Automated Web Translation Workflow technology into the Drupal open source WCMS.
Presented for the first time at Customer First in 2006, Connexion's cutting-edge Automated Web Translation Worfklow technology has already proved to be very time and cost efficient for companies like Ansell Healthcare and Ingersoll Rand, who use the Hot Banana WCMS to drive their multilingual website or intranet.
Companies are able to dramatically cut deadlines and budget each time they translate web pages. The process is fast, easy and straightforward. From the WCMS administration interface, site publishers can send web pages, portions of web pages and even entire websites to a computer assisted translation tool (CAT), such as DéjàVu, Trados, Wordfast or SDLX. Once human translators have edited the content in the CAT, their work is sent back to the WCMS for publication in just a few clicks. The translated content, navigation, metadata and links appear in the same layout as the original, which the user can then choose to further validate, get approval on or instantly publish.
Connexion has now integrated the same technology in Drupal and will soon do the same with other web content management systems to offer efficient multilingual content management on several platforms.
Drupal customisation and development is now an integral part of Connexion's services portfolio. Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal: "It is good news that a professional and experienced organisation like Connexion joins the Drupal Community. Connexion's Automated Web Translation Workflow is a valuable contribution to the latest developments of open source multilingual management technology which we are now integrating into the core of the next Drupal 6 version."
Peter De Boos, CTO at Connexion: "The open source Drupal infrastructure already offered advanced facilities for managing websites in a number of languages. The automated web translation workflow now makes it a compelling solution for organisations operating internationally and using an open source wcms like Drupal. "
Toyo Pumps Europe (www.toyopumpseurope.com), an industrial organisation based in Nivelles, has recently signed a contract with Connexion for a completely new website based on Drupal and using the automated web translation workflow.
