Ingeniux Website Translation Case Study

The integration of Venga's translation management system (TMS) with Ingeniux's content management system (CMS) streamlined their first website translation project from eight steps to four steps. This allowed Ingeniux to translate their 20,000 word corporate website from English to French within one month. The automated process transferred content files from the CMS to Venga translators, returned translated files back to the CMS, and enabled an internal French review - all without manual file handling. The seamless integration cut translation timelines in half and ensured a successful launch of Ingeniux's first international website.
Ingeniux Website Translation Case Study
- 1. HOW INGENIUX + VENGA INTEGRATION MADE A FIRST-TIME WEBSITE TRANSLATION PROJECT QUICK AND PAINLESS

Major U.S. enterprises, including Workday, AIG Direct, and GE, trust Ingeniux with their web presence, whether it be via a content management system (CMS) or through other online tools such as extranet, intranet, or social media platforms. 2
- 3. Ingeniux began their global expansion by setting up their first international office in France. They needed to quickly translate their corporate website (approximately 20,000 words) into French within one month’s time. Despite the fact that the Ingeniux development team had already worked closely to facilitate translation within the CMS with their end clients, the Ingeniux marketing team was new to the day-to-day requirements and challenges of the task. Ingeniux faced a common scenario for most newly global enterprises when they tackle website translation for the first time. Where to even start? How do you prep files? Which files or content should be sent? Where are those files located? Is there an automated solution or does it have to be manual cutting and pasting? Who will review the translated material, in-house or external reviewers? When do we do in-context review? How do you make the process efficient and cost effective? How long will it take? The Company’s Challenge 3 Tackling Website Translation for The First Time
- 4. The Venga Solution: Ingeniux + Venga Integration 4 Venga and Ingeniux had already worked collaboratively on some of Ingeniux’s clients’ website translation projects. So now that Ingeniux needed help with their own website translation, they turned to Venga for ideas on what to do next as well as how to get all their content translated in less than a month. Using Ingeniux’s own translation needs as a starting point, Venga and Ingeniux partnered together to create the Ingeniux + Venga Integration, which creates a seamless website translation integration within the Ingeniux CMS. The result takes the pain and long timelines out of web translation while also simplifying the process. This integration reduces errors and timelines as well as increases productivity, speed, continuity, consistency, and reliability. The results? No back and forth of manual file transfers, no figuring out which translated files go where. The Ingeniux + Venga Integration cuts the traditional website translation process in half, from eight steps to four. An Integrated Website Translation Solution Coupled With High-Quality Translation

- 6. The Ingeniux marketing team determined which pages and content should be translated into French. These content files were identified and then sent over to Venga within the Ingeniux CMS platform. Venga had already set up an automated workflow so that these files went into the TMS (translation management system) directly. The files were then transferred over to professional French linguists. The Ingeniux CMS didn’t require a plugin because the translation integration was already within the CMS. That meant the translation process could begin immediately once the files were chosen. The alternative would have meant exporting files to a desktop computer, and re-configuring them to a certain file type. Each page would have to be given an individual name to correspond to the web page name, which would mean double checking site architecture and naming conventions. With at least 40 webpages to be translated, that was time Ingeniux’s team didn’t have to spare. Venga had already carefully selected and vetted translators for matching subject matter expertise. Since the translation team received the files within seconds of their submission, they could get down to work right away. They completed the translations within seven days and then we conducted a quality assurance (QA) check. 6 Step 1: Automated File Transfer from the CMS Step 2: Translation & QA
- 7. Finalized translated files were automatically sent back to the CMS for integration into the appropriate pages. No need to manually copy, paste, and match the translated file to its appropriate webpage. The CMS handled all the details cleanly and quickly. With the translated content delivered and on the page, Ingeniux’s team then verified that each page they wanted had indeed been translated. They could also preview each translated page in the CMS. Lastly, they could see if any areas still required translation, such as images embedded in text and PDF files. Venga then published all the content on a staging server where internal Ingeniux employees in France reviewed the translations. They found the translations to be high quality, with minimal changes requested. When the client review was completed, voilà, the site was ready to launch.
