How does GlobalLink Web work?
You have been provided with a snippet of JavaScript code that you will inject into the <head> section of your website. This one-time step is the only integration required, and it allows the browser to execute the GlobalLink Web translation library.
When a translated page is requested, the library collects text nodes from the page and retrieves the corresponding Machine Translations from GlobalLink Web’s cloud-based endpoints. The origin text nodes are then replaced with their localized equivalents on the page instantaneously. Any content dynamically generated after the translated page has loaded is also detected and translated on the fly. The translations for the page are cached in a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to optimize performance for subsequent requests for the same language.
If you want to be more hands-on and control your translations with precision, visit our Translation Management section for more information on scoping, glossaries and in-context customization abilities from your Studio.
Out of the box, GlobalLink Web will not translate content served from iFrames or non-HTML assets (such as text embedded in images, downloadable PDFs, linked Word or CSV documents, etc.). For more information on custom solutions for this type of content, please contact us.
