Automated AI Translation via Hotfolder: Seamlessly Modernise Existing Systems

Many companies have been working with established translation processes for years. Editorial systems, CMS, PIM or documentation systems automatically export content to monitored directories. This content is then processed by existing translation technologies.

The problem is obvious: many of these systems are based on outdated technology, incur high operating costs or can no longer keep pace with modern AI solutions. At the same time, companies do not want to completely rebuild their existing processes and integrations.

This is exactly where ownvia comes in.

The Hotfolder integration enables ownvia to be integrated directly into existing translation and content processes. This allows companies to use modern AI translation without changing their existing system landscape.

Existing automation remains fully intact. ownvia handles the automated translation in the background, adding modern AI technology to existing processes.

How the Hotfolder integration works

The process remains particularly simple for companies:

1. An editorial system or CMS automatically exports new content to a defined directory
2. ownvia continuously monitors this directory
3. New files are detected and processed automatically
4. The AI translation is performed fully automatically
5. ownvia places the completed translations in a target directory
6. The existing system automatically imports the translated content back

This creates a fully automated translation process without manual intermediate steps.

Existing systems remain in place

Many companies have invested significant resources in their existing processes over the past few years. Therefore, a complete system change is often not a realistic option.

With ownvia, companies can continue to use their existing integrations and automation. At the same time, they gain access to modern AI technology and current translation models.

This creates a modern translation environment without sacrificing existing workflows.

Put modern AI technology to work immediately

The Hotfolder integration is particularly suitable for:

• Editorial systems
• CMS systems
• PIM systems
• Documentation platforms
• automated content workflows
• existing CAT tool integrations

As ownvia already provides modern API interfaces and automation mechanisms, an integration can be implemented quickly. This enables companies to benefit from modern AI translation within a short time.

Benefits of automated AI translation

Automation significantly improves companies' translation processes:

• faster translation workflows
• fewer manual steps
• reduced administrative effort
• modern AI technology within existing processes
• seamless integration with existing systems
• automatic processing of large volumes of content

This results in more efficient processes while reducing the manual workload in day-to-day operations.

Conclusion

Companies do not need to replace their existing system landscape to use modern AI technology.

With ownvia, existing translation processes can be modernised quickly, efficiently and seamlessly. Existing integrations remain in place while modern AI technology is integrated directly into existing workflows.
