A great start

Again, a successful year for Wordbee has come to an end.

2014 has been full of challenges and innovations for us. We launched our new product, the Beebox, and a lot of new features were implemented in Wordbee Translator as well.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all our customers and partners for the confidence they have placed in us.

The whole Wordbee Team wishes you a very happy and successful 2015!

Beebox News

In 2014, many companies and translation providers found in the Beebox the perfect solution to localize websites, e-shops, and softwares – and reached new markets! We welcome this great success, and are very happy to announce the development of new connectors.

In addition to Drupal, WordPress, Kentico, Episerver and Sharepoint, the connectors for Sitecore and Adobe CQ5/AEM will be released in February. Joomla will join the Beebox family soon after. If you require other connectors please contact us.

The SiteCore connector will be the first to leverage the new Beebox alignment features. Content editors will be able to review, change or annotate translations from within SiteCore and subsequently send changes to the translation team for synchronization or linguistic approval. As simple as that!

We are also happy to announce that the Beebox can now integrate with most TMSes other than Wordbee Translator. It does so using “hotfolders” and automated exchange of xliff jobs.

Çağdaş Acar

Mediation is central to what I do. As a consultant in the field of translation technologies, I mediate between user profiles. It is challenging since it means constructing and re-constructing the full dynamics of any software within the minds of people with varying computer literacy.
As an adjunct lecturer, I convey this professional experience with undergraduate students of translation studies. Here I offer multiple perspectives, that of a business owner, a PM, a freelancer, and a trainer.
I am a literary translator since 2009. My freelance work covers EN<>TR translations in literature and arts. These real-life translations provide me with the training material to incorporate into the above-mentioned technology classes.
Mediation takes running a full cycle in communication. What I do, I believe, is based on this principle of achieving a full cycle.
