Case Study: Hengst SE - Impression #1

Case Study: Translation with DeepL - via API directly from Pimcore

As a family-owned company with currently 3,600 employees at 25 locations, Hengst Filtration stands for innovative solutions in filtration and fluid management worldwide.

The entire website translated into several languages -instantly and in high quality. That was Hengst SE's wish at the start of the project. New languages can be added quickly and translated via API from DeepL. Internal links are retained and refer directly to the corresponding documents in the new language. Subsequent changes can be made easily per section or data object.

Challenge

Many languages - lot's of work? No!

Hengst SE wanted to adapt their website to the current market situation and make the information presented available in many languages. It quickly became clear that a manual translation, or even just a manual extraction of the information, was out of the question. Due to the size of the website and the wide range of input fields, e.g. in the data objects, this was not considered desireable. A solution was sought to trigger a translation directly from Pimcore, which can cover the entire page as well as smaller sections. This will be particularly important later on when the alterations are made, as the entire page should not always be translated again. It should also be possible to change linguistic subtleties in the target language without affecting other languages.

"The extension of Pimcore with the interface to DeepL enables us to connect new languages and internationalize our website quickly and easily without much effort in the national companies. "
Christoph Schings, Group Director Marketing & Communication (E-M), Hengst SE
Solution

DeepL Connection to Pimcore

Team neusta delivered the translation in two phases. In the first phase, all text modules of the documents and data objects are translated into the desired target language. The structure of the site remains unchanged. The new language can then be published. The set internal links are retained so that the manual effort is reduced to a minimum. In the second phase, changes can be made in the master language and translated on a modular basis. This ensures that only the part that has been newly translated needs to be proofread again in the national languages. All other parts remain untouched.

Results

Fast, high-performance translation in good quality

Thanks to the direct connection from DeepL to Pimcore, new languages can be set up quickly and easily. New translations can be checked before publication and corrected if necessary. Those responsible can be informed about newly translated content via Pimcore notification. This way, everyone knows when new content is available and can approve it. A new language is quickly available. Changes to the default language can be translated into all languages or only into selected languages.
