A Decentralized Global Web Presence
• Many disconnected sites
• 8+ EMEA markets without a web presence

Lack of Branding and of Consistent Message
Manual notification and site synching
Different design and navigation make updates
difficult.
Key content is outdated due to cost and hassle to update and translate.
Activity on local sites limited because experience is not always translated or
current.
17+ sites funded,
managed, measured
and translated separately

But…
• A “traditional” LSP solution would not work• We could not implement a TMS• We needed a fast approach• We wanted a MLSP to work with• We wanted an innovative technical solution and good
linguistic support

Proxy-based Website Translation – The Basics
• The proxy uses a translation memory to replace source segments for their translation in real-time
• The translation memory is pre-populated with all segments that have been spidered and translated ahead of time
• Translatable images are swapped out for their translated version• Text expansion issues are addressed through modification of the HTML code or style sheet

The Citrix Solution
The Corporate master site is the source for page styles, content and layout
Localized full versions of the site are deliveredgloballyUn-translated content passes through untouched yet with a transformed url.
Translators execute a first translation and create an initial translation memory. On subsequent iterations they are also assigned any new content identified by the spider.
Regional Citrix reviewers perform in-context reviews and make edits directly to the Translation Memory with an on-page review tool.
The Proxy translates the site on the fly. Looks into the translation memory and swaps out matched text, images and documents
Translation Memory
Content capture: All pages in scope are spidered and cached weekly, capturing all new content required to have pages fully translated

Sophisticated Requirements
Avoid English Bleed on in-scope pages: • Caching is enabled• Snapshot of pages is taken during the ‘maintenance’ spider• Cache is only deployed on live servers when the translations are ready=> No missing translation in pages being pushed live
• Predictable behavior for out of scope pages: Translation vs Transformation
• Citrix requirement: a page should either be fully translated, or revert to just the navigation and footer translation if not
• Anti-bleed: Defines an area of the page that requires full translation. If not all the segments are available, the whole area is reverted to English, leaving the rest of the page (Navigation, Footer, Promotions) translated.
• Compliance with new EU privacy guidelines: removal of all tracking cookies
• Removal or hiding of specific US centric content• Customization of Marketing forms and social
sites links

…and Considerations
• Mixed language experience – top 350 pages translated • Local/regional content limited • Videos, PDF resources are out of translation scope • Modulating translations depending on context is possible but fragile and time consuming to implement• Frequency of citrix.com updates could become sub-optimal for a proxy solution• Legacy issues (Vanity, CMS, URL formats) on citrix.com can make the proxy brittle• Ongoing corporate and regional resources required to onboard and maintain new countries
