Jazkarta to present at CM Pros Summit

Nate will be leading a workshop, Open Source Content Management for Globalization Workshop at the CM Pros summit. Nate will be discussing the challenges of building a multilingual CMS solution, based on his experiences as IT Manager at Learning Lab Denmark.

He will also be demonstrating the unique features of LinguaPlone, the definitive multilingual solution for Plone.

Presentation abstract

Building and managing websites with content in multiple languages can be challenging and requires new aspects to be considered when planning. We'll get an overview of the challenges of working with multilingual content and some lessons learned in the process. And also examine how LinguaPlone addresses these issues in the case of Plone, a popular open source content management system. The workflow integration between Plone and LinguaPlone makes it easy to manage big websites where a lot of languages are maintained, even on a big repository of content.

LinguaPlone also supports export to the industry-standard XLIFF format, which makes it easy to work with professional translation agencies. LinguaPlone supports language-independent fields (example: dates, first/last names) for fields you want to be the same across translations, and updated in all languages if one of them changes.

LinguaPlone also uses the notion of canonical versions, so you can do interesting things with workflow, like invalidate all translations of a document when the master copy has changed. In this session, we will create a simple multilingual website, and participants will be able to see hands-on how the software facilitates managing of content in multiple languages including workflow to notify translators when a document needs to be translated. Some technical knowledge is required. More info about LinguaPlone can be found here.
