System integration Translation that lives in your systems.
tolingo's system integration connects directly to your CMS, PIM, helpdesk or repository. Content flows automatically to translation and back again, with no export, no copy-paste, no break in the chain. Discuss your integration.
Four ISO certificationsTranslation partner for companies with high standards
- What it is: The connection of your existing systems to the translation process, so content flows automatically to translation and back.
- Who it's for: Companies with regular translation needs in a CMS, online shop, product database, knowledge base or software.
- How: Through the API, connectors and plug-ins, coupled with translation memory and a terminology database.
- The difference: No export, no retyping, no version chaos. Localisation becomes part of your workflow, only inside it, not a separate step beside it.
Your systems don't talk to each other
The detour to translation is what slows you down
Translation is rarely the bottleneck. The bottleneck is the path: export content from the system, send it by email, have it translated, feed it back in, reconcile versions. Every step costs time and creates errors. System integration removes that path. As a translation agency with a technical focus, tolingo sets up the process so it runs without daily effort, especially in high-throughput areas such as the technology and software sector.
The manual detour
Every language version is its own small project.
- Export content and send it by email
- Copy the translation back into the system by hand
- Check layout and formatting again
- Start over with every text change
The direct flow
Translation happens in the background of your system.
- New content is detected automatically
- The translation flows back formatted, into its place
- Translation memory lowers cost on repetitions
- One source, all languages in sync
How tolingo fits into your stack
Three steps from connection to day-to-day operation
Make the connection
We couple tolingo to your system: through the tolingo API, a ready-made connector or a plug-in. The choice follows your existing architecture.
Let content flow
New or changed content goes into translation automatically. Translation memory and terminology keep it consistent and lower the cost.
Back in the system, done
The translation lands formatted in its place, in the right language version. On request, checked to ISO 17100 or as post-editing to ISO 18587.
In day-to-day operation Translation becomes a background process: you publish, the system translates alongside. More languages mean no more work for your team.
What can be connected
From the website to the code repository
The integration follows your system landscape. Common connections:
WordPress, TYPO3, Drupal and headless CMS. Content is handed straight to website translation and returns formatted.
Product data from PIM systems and shop platforms. Ideal for large, fast-changing ranges in e-commerce.
Support articles and FAQs from Zendesk, Confluence or similar tools. New articles become multilingual automatically.
String files straight from the repository. Fits continuous software localisation and technical translation in agile release cycles.
Campaigns and assets from marketing platforms, connected to marketing translation with an eye on tone.
In-house builds and specialist systems through the open tolingo API. If a system outputs text data, it can be connected.
Secure from end to end
Because connected systems need trust
An integration reaches deep into your systems. So security is part of the architecture, not an add-on. tolingo works to ISO/IEC 27001: encrypted data transfer, processing on European servers, clearly governed access rights and, on request, NDAs before the first data exchange. That keeps the connection dependable even when confidential content leaves your system in over 30 target languages. The languages overview shows which combinations are possible.
The technical connection is vendor-independent. You don't have to switch systems or install additional software permanently. The integration adds to what already runs at your end. Our translations do not replace a technical acceptance test or conformity assessment of your systems.
Part of Technology & API
System integration works together with three more building blocks
The integration is the bracket. What flows through it, three building blocks make better, faster and more consistent:
The interface through which orders run programmatically. The technical backbone of every integration.
The store of already translated content. Repetitions cost less and stay consistent.
Your terminology, settled. Every specialist term comes out the same in every language.
The platform where API, memory and terminology come together as a finished solution.
Common questions about system integration
Effort, security, requirements
Do we have to switch or rebuild our system?
No. The integration sits on top of your existing architecture, through API, connector or plug-in. Your system stays as it is. What gets connected is the translation process, not a new tool.
How much effort is the setup?
That depends on the system. For common CMS and shop platforms there are ready-made connectors that stand up quickly. For in-house builds the connection runs through the open API. In a short technical initial call we clarify the right route.
How secure is our data in transfer?
tolingo is certified to ISO 27001. Transfer is encrypted, processing runs on European servers, access is clearly governed. On request, we sign an NDA before the first data exchange.
What happens to quality when everything runs automatically?
What's automated is the transport, not necessarily the translation. You choose per content: specialist translation to ISO 17100, post-editing to ISO 18587 or raw machine translation. The integration governs the path; you govern the depth.
Is it worth it for smaller volumes too?
An integration pays off above all with recurring needs, such as ongoing product data or regular website updates. For one-off projects a classic order is often more sensible. In the initial call we give you an honest read on that.
Technology & API
Planning more than one connection?
API, translation memory and terminology mesh together. The overview shows how the building blocks work as one.
