IICS App Integration Implementation
A leading translation and localization services company needed to build a translation connector that retrieves translatable content from a specific Shopify platform, translates the content and sends it back to Shopify.
Client Challenges and Requirements
- Custom-developed APIs were being used to connect to multiple platforms and vendors including integration with the in-house “Contents Server”
- Hence, every new customer that was onboarded to the service requires the API connectors to be built from scratch
- Maintenance of these individual APIs for each customer was also a major overhead
- This not only was consuming critical resource bandwidth but delaying new customer onboarding resulting in sales revenue leakage
Bitwise Solution
Developed a configurable solution using Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS) App Integration to fetch translatable content from Shopify, get it translated from Content API, and send the translated content back to Shopify.
- Paginate through all the resource types and check for translatable content on Shopify. Fetch the translatable content using Shopify GraphQL APIs. The translatable content is in key-value pair form. Fetch supporting assets (reference URLs) from Shopify.
- Upload source content to CAPI, create an Add request to the job and send the job for translation.
- Combine the translatable content file and reference URL file, and build JSON formatted source content which will be accepted by CAPI.
- Fetch the latest status updates from CAPI. For all the extracted status updates check for the translated content and write back to Shopify based on the request status.
