Smartcat AEM Connector: Manage & Edit Translations Live in Adobe Experience Manager
Smartcat has revamped its Adobe Experience Manager connector, which is designed to help enterprise teams translate AEM websites directly within their existing content-management workflow.
Key Insights
Native, round-trip AEM workflow: Content syncs automatically between AEM and Smartcat with no manual exports or proxies. AEM pages are treated as standard documents, leveraging Smartcat’s full TM, glossary, AI, and review suite.
Live, in-context visual editor: Translators edit directly on rendered pages, with a bottom panel for non-visual elements like SEO tags and alt text. Multi-page and multi-locale submissions are fully supported.
Off-the-shelf integration: No longer a custom enterprise build, this standard connector is bundled with the Website Translator and dynamic editor for Business and Enterprise plans.
What does the AEM integration do?
The new connector enables a round-trip translation process between Adobe Experience Manager and Smartcat. Website content can be sent from AEM into Smartcat for translation, review, and approval, then synced back automatically once complete. The workflow eliminates the need for manual exports, copy-paste processes, or a separate proxy layer.
The integration treats AEM pages as standard Smartcat documents, allowing teams to use Smartcat’s core translation tools, including translation memory, glossaries, AI translation, and review workflows.
Live Editing for In-Context Reviews
Smartcat has also paired the connector with a live, in-context visual editor. Translators and reviewers can view rendered web pages as they work and edit translations segment by segment in context. This helps teams identify layout, tone, and formatting issues before translated content is published.
SEO Tags & More
The editor also supports content that may not appear directly on the visible page, such as image alt text, SEO tags, and other hidden metadata. These segments are available through a dedicated panel so they can be translated and reviewed as part of the same workflow.
The connector is available as an off-the-shelf integration bundled with Smartcat’s Website Translator and dynamic visual editor.
Who does the AEM integration help?
The launch is aimed at enterprise organizations that use Adobe Experience Manager as their primary CMS and require translation workflows that operate inside their existing website infrastructure. By combining native AEM integration with visual, in-context editing, Smartcat is positioning the product as a solution for teams managing multilingual websites at scale.
