WizTom for the Web - Step by Step

This step by step guide will introduce you to WizTom for the Web and the localization process. You may start WizTom Studio by selecting the WizTom Studio shortcut from the Windows Start Menu.

To demonstrate the features of WizTom for the Web, the target Web site will be http://www.wizart.com/en/.

WizTom for the Web's unique technology allows for hassle-free localization of any Web site or Intranet/Extranet application into any languages. WizTom for the Web consists of two components:

 WizTom Studio: the localization tool;

 WizTom Web Proxy Server: the translation server.

The core technology lies in WizTom Web Proxy Server: its role is to intercept Web requests from users and relay them to the original server, translating documents on the way back to them thanks to the Multilingual Database.

WizTom Studio is the localization tool used to build the Multilingual Database. It provides basic tools: capture of texts, Translation Editor, as well as more specialized tools such as the Deployment Helper, Extractors, Import/Export filters and more.

Note that WizTom Web Proxy Server is also embedded in WizTom Studio. This means that when a project is active in WizTom Studio, WizTom Web Proxy Server is also running on the computer.

WizTom Studio's main window is already organized according to the steps involved in the localization process. In this section, we will focus on the upper part of WizTom Studio: the Basic Tools.

The localization process includes the following steps:

 Project creation: application or Web site to translate, original and target languages;

 Extraction or capture of the documents' texts;

 Translation of these texts into the selected target languages;

 QA review of the translated pages;

 Deployment of the translation server.

This tutorial will demonstrate WizTom for the Web's features on WizArt's Web site: http://www.wizart.com/en/.
