Release Notes

Lingotek publishes Release Notes that detail new products, enhancements, and defect fixes.

When a new release is made available we will send an email to all active users notifying them that a new version has been deployed with highlights of that new version and a link to the more detailed Release Notes.

DevZone

We offer the Multilingual Lingotek API, which is an easy-to-use, powerful way to integrate your Enterprise Applications with the Lingotek Translation Management System (TMS). Available APIs allow you to perform nearly every function that is available through our own Interface, allowing you to build a robust and comprehensive integration.

To learn more about the Multilingual Lingotek API and how to develop an integration using it, we offer access to our DevZone — which includes documentation, examples, and the opportunity to test drive individual APIs and see the response.

Client Success

As the name implies, Client Success’ purpose is to ensure your success using the Lingotek Platform and services, so we are here to help you with:

• Solution consultation (what problem are you trying to solve and how can Lingotek help)
• Implementation management
• Product and technical support
• Product feedback, suggestions and requests

Client Success Teams

We recognize and value the personal relationships between our clients and individuals within Client Success, but we also recognize the risk of being overly dependent on one person to provide the support you need. So, we encourage you to reach out to any member of the team that you prefer, and will support that whenever possible. At the same time, we work to ensure that you will receive timely and consistent support even when that individual is unavailable.

To that end, we have created Client Success teams that are focused on supporting all of the clients in a given geographic region, so your needs are never being served by just one person and you can receive the same level of service regardless of which team member jumps in to help.

Each of our Client Success teams has a Team Lead, who is responsible for coordinating the team’s efforts to ensure that all client needs are being addressed. If you have questions or concerns about the service you are receiving, please contact your Team Lead:

Issue Types & Priorities

We triage incoming support requests based on two factors, 1) Impact, and 2) Primary or Secondary Functionality.

PRIMARY OR SECONDARY FUNCTIONALITY

 Is the issue related to Primary functionality or Secondary functionality? Primary Functionality is anything related to the content lifecycle (uploading content, filtering & segmentation, workflow processing, downloading content). Secondary Functionality is anything beyond what is required to deliver content, such as administrative functions and reporting.

Based on the combination of those factors, we prioritize incoming support (see the Impact & Functions diagram).

(while we certainly take your input as the client into account when doing so, ultimately Lingotek sets the priority for all incoming requests)

SLAs

To ensure a quick response for higher priority issues, and meet the more aggressive SLAs for those issues, we ask that you use a recommended channel based on the issue priority.

Issue Handling

The Lingotek Support Portal is where we track all of our client’s issues as individual Tickets. Authorized users can access the Support Portal to view those tickets or to create a new one.

Getting Access to the Support Portal

Ticket Status

Closed

The ticket is complete and cannot be reopened.

Issue Escalation

We automatically handle escalation based on our SLAs, but if you feel we haven’t done so appropriately (i.e. you think we blew it), then we understand the need to “move up the chain”. Our goal is to provide the best service possible and if we haven’t done that then we aren’t happy either.

Client Success Managers

Professional Services

Implementation

The Technical Account Managers on our Client Success teams are responsible for the onboarding of new clients. Each new client will be assigned a dedicated resource to manage and coordinate their onboarding process, which includes the setup and configuration of the client in our Translation Management Platform, the installation and configuration of content connectors, the design and implementation of workflows, the addition of translation assets (Translation Memory and Terminology), and training for all roles (including vendors if applicable).

Training

Our Technical Account Managers are also available to provide training geared towards the various roles within your organization (Project Managers, Quality Managers, Vendor Managers, Translators/Reviewers). Contact your Account Manager if you wish to purchase additional training (beyond what is provided as part of your on-boarding experience).

Configuration Management

We strive to make our products easy to configure and maintain, but if you need someone to help set up or maintain your Communities, Projects, Workflows, Translation Memory, Glossaries, Users, Groups, Permissions – basically anything that you could manage yourself but would rather have us manage for you – we are happy to help.

For this kind of work, we can scope and price a Statement of Work (SOW) for each request, or you can pre-purchase Professional Service Hours to use when needed.

Multi-Lingual Site Audit

To understand what it will take to localize your web properties it helps to start by knowing where you are and what the potential issues are. So, to get things started right, we recommend a multilingual readiness Site Audit. It is a critical first step to determine your site’s readiness for localization.

Enterprise sites are often highly customized with a mix of technologies and capabilities. The Site Audit will quickly identify any potential issues that may prevent the site from functioning with multilingual content. The Site Audit includes set up, review, assessment, and reporting with an in-depth analysis of your site and a detailed written report of any issues discovered.

Performing a Site Audit is an ounce of prevention that saves weeks of development work, ensures a smooth roll out, and accelerates the delivery of your multilingual websites and localized content.

We offer this service for web properties served up from the following Content Management Systems (CMS):

Localization Consulting

Need a little advice here and there, we’re here to help. But, if you are new to localization and need more than a little advice, we are happy to offer our expertise. This is what we do, all day, every day. 

For most, localization is critical, but not a core competence. If you need someone to help chart a course, and even help you follow it, we are here to help.

For this kind of work, we can scope and price a Statement of Work (SOW) for each request, or you can pre-purchase Professional Service Hours to use when needed.
