Content
A translation management system (TMS) simplifies managing content across different languages and locales. It's easy to see why the buzz for "headless TMS" has caught on. They claim to allow content to be managed, extracted, repurposed, and delivered through numerous endpoints. But is it worth removing the front-end for these capabilities? With modern front-ends using identical endpoints, it's unnecessary. There are commercially available systems that can serve this function without the immense downside of lacking "human in the loop" capabilities that headless systems bring. These lack traditional translation management capabilities and any business functionality. Any intervention can create a plethora of problems. Rejecting traditional TMS altogether is not the answer. Instead, modern LangOps provides a better solution that keeps the valuable and discards the unwanted.
Takeaways
1. "Headless TMS" may seem appealing, but removing the front-end for these capabilities may not be worth it, as modern front-ends can use identical endpoints.
2. Headless TMS lack traditional translation management capabilities and any business functionality, which can create problems.
3. Instead of rejecting traditional TMS altogether, modern LangOps provides a better solution that keeps the valuable and discards the unwanted.
4. Keep the "human in the loop" capabilities that traditional TMS bring for a more efficient and effective process.
