APPLICATION DESIGN


Adding translation components to a Designer application
The Lotus Translation Components (LTC) are programming objects and server-based software services that provide a secure, reliable, and robust environment to connect a set of heterogeneous translation services to IBMR LotusR software and WebSphere-based platforms such as IBMR LotusR Domino(TM), QuickPlace(TM), the WebSphere Application Server and the WebSphere Portal Server. The LTC help IBM customers break language barriers with their employees, partners, suppliers, and customers by providing an enhanced set of linguistic services that facilitate the integration of third-party linguistic solutions.

Although primarily designed to work with machine translation software, such as the IBM server-based machine translation engines, the LTC can connect to any third-party translation services that support the Linguistic Services API (LSAPI) developed by IBM.

Because of their open architecture, the translation components allow developers to integrate translation services rapidly and intuitively into Domino applications, facilitating communication across languages and breaking language barriers in an ever-growing global environment.

The Lotus Translation Components consist of the following parts, which provide a connection to a translation connector and its associated services:
