IBM Software Services for Lotus

Do you have a web site that needs to be available in multiple languages? Are you stalled at figuring out how to manage these translations? IBM Software Services for Lotus (ISSL) has the solution for you!

The WCM Multilingual Reference Implementation services solution is designed to help you manage multiple-language web sites using a solution leveraging Lotus Web Content Management (WCM) software. With this solution, customers will be able to take advantage of a reusable framework to efficiently handle the creation, management, and publishing of multilingual Web site content.

ISSL has worked with a number of customers to understand how they create, translate and publish content on multiple sites and in many languages. The result is the customer-validated WCM Multilingual Reference Implementation solution -- a collaborative-elective authoring and translation process developed from IBM's deep experience in the collaboration space and understanding of corporate processes for managing multilingual content.

The WCM Multilingual Reference Implementation solution provides the following functionality which can be configured and extended to meet various content-related and publishing requirements:

• Workflows which coordinate the lifecycle of content items and their translations.
• Authoring template extensions to simplify the creation and navigation between translated content items.
• Site templating tools for self-service creation of new sites.
• Notification system which informs content authors and translators when items need translating and retranslating due to changes to one of the translations.
• A recommendation capability which informs site owners when new content items are created and enables them to include the content item on their site at the click of a button.
