System, method and computer program product for multilingual content management
A system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions translatable by the processor. The instructions when translated by the processor cause the system to determine an exemplar reference which identifies a managed object stored in a repository residing in an enterprise computing environment. The system can determine a translation group utilizing the exemplar reference. The managed object may represent a content item. The translation group may include the content item and the content item may be multilingual enabled. The system can determine an effective locale for a request for content received from a client device communicatively connected to a web server in the enterprise computing environment, determine a language that is appropriate for the effective locale, and respond to the request for content with the content item or a translation of the content item that is in the language appropriate for the effective locale.
1. A system, comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one non-transitory computer readable medium; and
stored instructions translatable by the at least one processor to, responsive to a method call for content from a client device, dynamically perform:
determining an exemplar from the method call for content from the client device, the exemplar referencing a multilingual-enabled managed object stored in a repository;
determining, utilizing metadata associated with the multilingual-enabled managed object, a linguistic translation group to which the multilingual-enabled managed object belongs;
determining membership of the linguistic translation group, each member of the linguistic translation group being multilingual-enabled, each member of the linguistic translation group containing an individual monolingual translation of the content;
determining an effective locale;
determining an appropriate language based on the effective locale;
determining whether a translation of the content in the appropriate language exists in the linguistic translation group;
when a translation of the content in the appropriate language exists in the linguistic translation group, returning the method call with the translation of the content in the appropriate language; and
when a translation of the content in the appropriate language does not exist in the linguistic translation group, returning the method call with the content in a default language.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the multilingual-enabled managed object comprises a piece of content, a content item, a content instance, a static file, a text file, an image, an audio file, or a database table.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein members of the linguistic translation group are assigned to a single translation group identifier and each member of the linguistic translation group has a unique identifier.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the linguistic translation group contains translations only for locales required by a web site.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the effective locale is determined utilizing a default setting, a user preference, a property from the client device, a preference from the client device, a property from a browser running on the client device, or a preference from the browser running the client device.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the metadata associated with the multilingual-enabled managed object are stored in a data structure, the data structure containing a translation group identifier identifying the linguistic translation group.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the client device is communicatively connected to the system over a private network, an intranet, a public network, or the Internet.
8. A method, comprising:
responsive to a method call for content from a client device, a system, which comprises at least one processor, at least non-transitory computer readable medium, and stored instructions translatable by the at least one processor, dynamically performing:
determining an exemplar from the method call for content from the client device, the exemplar referencing a multilingual-enabled managed object stored in a repository;
determining, utilizing metadata associated with the multilingual-enabled managed object, a linguistic translation group to which the multilingual-enabled managed object belongs;
determining membership of the linguistic translation group, each member of the linguistic translation group being multilingual-enabled, each member of the linguistic translation group containing an individual monolingual translation of the content;
determining an effective locale;
determining an appropriate language based on the effective locale;
determining whether a translation of the content in the appropriate language exists in the linguistic translation group;
when a translation of the content in the appropriate language exists in the linguistic translation group, returning the method call with the translation of the content in the appropriate language; and
when a translation of the content in the appropriate language does not exist in the linguistic translation group, returning the method call with the content in a default language.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the multilingual-enabled managed object comprises a piece of content, a content item, a content instance, a static file, a text file, an image, an audio file, or a database table.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein members of the linguistic translation group are assigned to a single translation group identifier and each member of the linguistic translation group has a unique identifier.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the linguistic translation group contains translations only for locales required by a web site.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the effective locale is determined utilizing a default setting, a user preference, a property from the client device, a preference from the client device, a property from a browser running on the client device, or a preference from the browser running the client device.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the metadata associated with the multilingual-enabled managed object are stored in a data structure, the data structure containing a translation group identifier identifying the linguistic translation group.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the client device is communicatively connected to the system over a private network, an intranet, a public network, or the Internet.
15. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions translatable by at least one processor, the instructions when translated by the at least one processor cause a system to, responsive to a method call for content from a client device, dynamically perform:
determining an exemplar from the method call for content from the client device, the exemplar referencing a multilingual-enabled managed object stored in a repository;
determining, utilizing metadata associated with the multilingual-enabled managed object, a linguistic translation group to which the multilingual-enabled managed object belongs;
determining membership of the linguistic translation group, each member of the linguistic translation group being multilingual-enabled, each member of the linguistic translation group containing an individual monolingual translation of the content;
determining an effective locale;
determining an appropriate language based on the effective locale;
determining whether a translation of the content in the appropriate language exists in the linguistic translation group;
when a translation of the content in the appropriate language exists in the linguistic translation group, returning the method call with the translation of the content in the appropriate language; and
when a translation of the content in the appropriate language does not exist in the linguistic translation group, returning the method call with the content in a default language.
