Ready to accelerate your documentation workflow?

Stop wrestling with manual exports and formatting issues. Our SDL LiveContent integration delivers faster multilingual publishing with zero compromise on quality.

FAQs

What types of content work with SDL LiveContent integration?

The integration supports all DITA and XML content stored in SDL LiveContent, including technical manuals, compliance documentation, product guides, training materials, and regulatory content. Complex structured documents with embedded links, cross-references, and metadata translate seamlessly whilst preserving their original formatting and relationships.

How does the integration preserve XML structure and metadata?

XTM Bridge technology maintains complete fidelity of your XML tags, metadata, and document structure throughout the translation process. All cross-references, conditional text, variables, and formatting elements remain intact, ensuring your multilingual content functions exactly like the source material without requiring post-translation cleanup or restructuring.

Can I translate multiple documents simultaneously?

Yes, the integration supports multi-module translation projects, allowing you to send entire document sets or related content collections to XTM Cloud in one batch. This approach maintains consistency across related materials whilst reducing project management overhead and accelerating delivery timelines for large documentation releases.

What happens if there are issues during translation?

XTM Cloud's built-in quality assurance processes catch potential issues before content returns to SDL LiveContent. Our support team monitors integration health, and the Bridge technology includes error handling to prevent corrupted files from entering your CCMS, ensuring your documentation repository stays clean and functional.
