For content-heavy sites, translations are done with the help of external automated or manual translation services.

In this epic, we'll allow the possibility to select several pieces of content (pages, web content, etc) and export them in the standard format for translations (XLIFF), then this file can be sent to the translation agency. After the translations are ready, the file with all translations will be sent back and imported in Liferay to include the translations to the original content.

 

This integration will provide mechanisms to integrate with any third party systems via an API as well as provide mechanisms to export and import translatable text through standard and commonly used formats. 

Out of the box integration with some specific providers can be considered and might be a good candidate for a DXP only feature.
