How does AEM translate websites?

The correct approach for translating websites in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is through the translation workflow. This workflow allows content creators to manage and facilitate the translation process systematically. By utilizing the translation workflow, AEM ensures a structured method for exporting content to translation, assigning tasks to translators, and then bringing the translated content back into the AEM environment.

The translation manager also plays a crucial role within this workflow. It enables users to oversee the translation projects, manage locales, and track the status of translations, ensuring a streamlined process that enhances collaboration among teams.

While integrating with an external translation service may seem viable, it does not encapsulate the full capabilities and structured processes AEM offers for translation management. Therefore, relying solely on an external service does not provide the comprehensive framework provided by AEM's built-in translation tools.
