Craft CMS website localization success story

Situation

A prominent global enterprise was searching for a headless, localization-ready CMS to manage multilingual web content. After struggling to find a viable solution, they realized they needed more than just a way to translate content—they needed a partner they could trust and a strategy that would scale. Acclaro delivered that and more, using Craft CMS and its translation integration to bolster an environment of best practices, collaboration and cost savings.

Challenge

The complexity of the requirements coupled with outdated technology created many hurdles that needed clearing:

• Cumbersome data migration with multiple file types and resource formats to be synthesized into a single translation handoff
• Tedious process to manually export, translate and import daily files
• Lack of technology or process to track content status and updates from various contributors
• Inability to customize workflows
