Filesystem Connector

Translate files from Dropbox, shared drives, and more.

With Enterprise's Filesystem Connector, create translation projects for virtually any document stored on any file system. 
 

What does it translate?

The Filesystem Connector translates anything stored in a file folder. This could mean everything from documents on your desktop to a code repository on a server.

Setting Up
To get started, set up your resources in Enterprise and create a project and a workflow. After setting up in Enterprise, install the Filesystem Connector.

Install the Enterprise Software Localization Tool (Filesystem Connector)

What can Enterprise Filesystem Connector do?

Enterprise Filesystem Connector can create translation projects - right on your hard drive.
The Enterprise Filesystem Connector can do almost anything the TMS can do. Manage workflows, monitor projects, choose filter configurations, and more.

• Connect to Enterprise

• Create a project

• Upload documents

• Request translations 

• Monitor translation status

• Mange and synchronize projects

• Download completed translations

How does it work?

See the command line tool in action.

Can I translate desktop files?

Yes. The Enterprise Filesystem Connector command line tool can handle almost any desktop file, as long as it is saved in a file folder. Simply designate the file folder, and all contents of the folder will be sent for translation. 

 Note: The Enterprise Filesystem Connector cannot yet handle files managed via CMS integrations.

Where do I access completed translations?

You can pull all completed translations, or you can download specific files for specific locales using the Enterprise Filesystem Connector. These downloaded files will display in the original folder, immediately after the original source file, with the locale listed immediately after the file name.

For example, if you translate ‘sample.txt’ into Japanese, it will be downloaded as ‘sample.jp_JP.txt.’

Using the Tool
Once everything is installed, you'll be ready to use the tool to request translations. On the next page, we'll outline how to run key actions and provide a few examples.
