Not Considering

Branching

Currently, SDL TMS does not support multi branching.

When it comes to approach a localization project that follows Agile methodologies, we lack a solution that helps us monitor a Git/SVN repo to pick from branches new/edited contents.  We need to automate highly-repetitive and low added-value tasks like monitoring the branches, picking up translatable contents, and once translation is complete, putting back the localized files where they belong in the source repo.

Right now, the only solution is to check each branch manually, analyze with Passolo, and if needed, create bundles that we process through TMS. This process is time-consuming and we cannot concentrate on internationalization/globalization questions. 

  • Hello Florina,

    both our Git and TMS instances are Cloud-based, thank you for your interest.

  • Hi Jerome,

    Would be interesting to know where do you host Git and TMS? Are they on premise or in the cloud?

    The reason I am asking is to understand better the preferences for this new connector in terms of accesibility and hosting.

    Thanks

    Florina

  • Hi Jerome

    Will look into the use case that you mentioned. I will get back to you as soon as we will have something demoable.

    Thank you

  • Hi Florina,

    at this point we are using SDL TMS as our core localization tool. Any connector to Git would certainly help indeed.

    I believe you need to factor in multibranching in this connector implementation (i.e having the possibility to pick in a repository specific branches), this is the type of things we are interested in.

    For instance, in one of the projects I am handling, the GitLab repository contains around 40-50 branches (some for defect fixes, others for new features). The connector should be able to allow us pick which branch TMS needs to push/pull the files from/to.

    If you are intereted, we can can have a call about this. Please let me know at jerome.selinger@pb.com.

  • Hi PB

    We are currently working on a Git connector for ManTra/TMS and WorldServer using the resourse files. This connector allows the automated project creation and syncronization of the content. Do you think that this will help?

    Thank you
