XTM Cloud min. version: v12.9

New or improved functionalities

  • With XTM Connect - AEM it is now possible to define a standard XTM Cloud Project Manager within a specific configuration.

    • API calls will still be made with the main credentials provided there, but created projects’ PM can be set independently of those credentials

  • With XTM Connect - AEM, cancelling a translation project in AEM will trigger an email notification to notify the relevant XTM Cloud project manager about the event. Additionally, it is now possible to configure if the XTM Cloud project needs to be archived or completely deleted when the respective project is cancelled in AEM.

  • Only available for AEM 6.5 - With XTM Connect - AEM it is now possible to start a project directly in XTM Cloud and automatically update the status of the project in AEM.

    • A periodic task (configurable via OSGi) will check projects that have their scope requested and completed on AEM side for their status on XTM side - if a given project is started on XTM side, it will also be started on AEM side

  • The connector has been further rewritten to leverage more REST API compared to SOAP

  • Added support for HTTP proxies for REST API calls

  • Removed obsolete screenshots from the installation package

  • Improved logging

    • Reduced the size of logged messages so that the log file is easier to navigate

  • Only applicable to AEM 6.5 - AEM 6.5 Service Pack 7 fixed an issue affecting the correct generation of AEM pages with names starting with numbers

  • Various minor fixes to DITA translation process

  • Fixed issue which prevented importing of large (over 16384 bytes) translation output XMLs on AEM Cloud

    • The issue was not replicated on AEM 6.5 SP 7, however the same fix would address that specific root cause, should it ever occur on non-Cloud AEM

Known issues

  • Unable to set due date on AEM translation job due to Coral UI bug - this bug has already been fixed as of AEM 6.5 Service Pack 9

  • AEM Translation Jobs occasionally get stuck if users click Request Scope and immediately click Start on the same Job

    • Note: Requesting scope before starting a translation job is not mandatory. When using this functionality, it is necessary to wait at least 30 seconds before starting the job, and preferably wait until the scope is available in AEM

  • In AEM Cloud:

    • Occasionally, pages with existing language copies cannot be added to manually-created projects - issue reported to Adobe

    • When translation jobs are cancelled, the author should be alerted that the translated content will be deleted - this alert does not appear in all cases

    • Not all images are sent for translation - issue reported to Adobe

      • This does not affect XTM Workbench Visual mode

    • AEM’s built-in preview generation does not work for pages with names that begin with a digit (ex. error handling pages like 404)

      • Issue reported to Adobe

      • As a workaround, XTM’s preview generator (described above) can be used

    • The Send to translation in XTM option cannot be used when submitting content through translation from the Edit menu within a site.
