AEM Cloud Connector Version History – Smartling Help Center

Get the latest version of the connector from the Maven central repository.

Version 5.9.55

[12/30/25]

Internal improvement released

Version 5.9.54

[12/29/25]

Improvement

The connector now supports the directive <characterLimit>none</characterLimit> for XML properties that should not inherit the character limit from a previous string in the file.
Fixed an issue related to saving property mappings.

Version 5.9.53

[12/15/25]

Improvement

A new Smartling workflow parameter, localeWorkflows, has been added. It stores associations between a Smartling targetLocale and a workflowUid, for example:
```
[
  {
    "targetLocale": "fr",
    "workflowUid": "42478ed22598"
  },
  {
    "targetLocale": "de",
    "workflowUid": "04ec4daa5daf"
  }
]
```
The specified workflow will be used for content sent for translation in the corresponding target language. For additional context, please see AEM Touch/Cloud Connectors Technical Resources.

Version 5.9.52

[11/18/25]

Bug fix

When requesting additional locales for Experience Fragments, files are no longer duplicated.

Version 5.9.51

[11/7/25]

Bug fix

Character limit feature now works with Auto parser option.

Version 5.9.50

[10/31/25]

Improvement

You can now set a character limit for a property mapping. We recommend using this feature with plain text strings. The limit will be shown to the translator/linguist working on the translation in the CAT Tool.

Alternatively, you can specify the limit in the property_mappings.json file. For example:

{
   "contexts": [
     {
       "path": "/content",
       "components": [
         {
           "type": "General",
           "mappings": [
             {
               "propertyName": "text",
               "smartlingParser": "text",
               "characterLimit": "255",
               "inherit": true
             }
           ]
         }
       ]
     }
   ]
}

Version 5.9.49

[10/27/25]

Bug fix

Several fixes have been implemented for the context feature. The connector now respects the language set for a language root and takes the language into account for resolving source content for taking context. The native context renderer composes proper URL for the context. This URL is then displayed in the Smartling dashboard within the Context tab of your AEM project.

Version 5.9.48

[10/23/25]

Bug fix

Previously, ambiguous language mapping could cause the connector to generate an incorrect namespace for uploaded files. This issue has been resolved. The connector does not use language mappings for file namespaces.

Version 5.9.47

[10/20/25]

Improvement

Context for a page or an experience fragment can be taken from the source page/fragment. Use this OSGi configuration file:
com.smartling.aem.connector.context.impl.resources.http.HttpResourceLoader.cfg.json to enable this feature by setting preview.from.source on (true).

{
    // Causes connector to take context from AEM directly
    "direct.rendering": true,
    // AEM Author Instance URL, required
    "server.url": "https://author-p15353-e35406.adobeaemcloud.com",
    // Username for local AEM Cloud user, required
    "user.name": "<user>",
    // Password for local AEM Cloud user, required
    "user.password": "<password>",
    // Connection timeout for loading context from AEM instance in ms. Min 2000ms, 
    Max 10000ms. Optional, 2000ms is default
    "connection.timeout": 2000,
    // Socket timeout for loading context from AEM instance in ms.  Min 10000ms, 
    Max 20000ms. Optional, 10000ms is default
    "socket.timeout": 10000,
    // Preview WCMMODE. This mode is used for requesting context. Optional, 'disabled' 
    is default
    "request.wcmmode": "disabled",
    // Enables or disables taking the context preview from the source. For pages and 
    experience fragments, the context preview is taken from associated launches by 
    default.
    "preview.from.source": true
  }

Version 5.9.46

[10/20/25]

Internal improvement released

Version 5.9.45

[10/3/25]

Improvement

Multiple pages can be sent for translation. Users should open the Sites view, select several pages, and click the Translate button in the action bar. The Smartling Dialog will appear.

Bug fix

Fixed the connector's validation for strings sent for translation. It now validates all strings for a text and/or for valid XML subnodes.

Internal improvement

Additional internal improvement released in this version.

Version 5.9.44

[9/12/25]

Improvement

The connector now supports the Markdown content type. A property can be mapped to Markdown either through the Translation Rules UI or in the property_mappings.json file.

Version 5.9.43

[8/11/25]

Internal improvement released

Version 5.9.42

[8/11/25]

Bug fix

A temporary validation issue on the Smartling dialog has been fixed.

Version 5.9.41

[8/1/25]

Bug fix

The connector now matches properties to translation rules for nodes and all subnodes. Components in AEM may store their data in subnodes and descendant nodes in the repository. The AEM Translation framework matches translation rules not with the component itself, but with all subnodes. The connector can now match the Smartling parser in the same manner.

Version 5.9.40

[6/26/25]

Improvements

In the event of a rendering error, the context image will be taken from the repository.
The connector makes HTTP connection to Smartling with socket timeout set to 40000 milliseconds by default. If you experience errors related to SocketTimeoutException, you can adjust this value in the OSGi configuration file:
```
com.smartling.aem.connector.core.impl.integration.platform.ApiInstanceBuilder.cfg.json
```
api.socket.timeout defines the timeout for requests sent to Smartling, in milliseconds. The minimum value is 10000 ms, the maximum is 60000 ms, and the default is 40000 ms.

Version 5.9.39

[6/10/25]

Internal improvement released

Version 5.9.38

[5/29/25]

Bug fixes

The connector waits until AEM has fully prepared a translation project. Once AEM completes this process, the connector overwrites the Auto * project options.
The connector can now work with the AEM Translation Framework's upload call, even when the source language parameter is not provided.

Version 5.9.37

[5/23/25]

Improvement

Auto option for Smartling parser was introduced in the Translation Rules UI.

Bug fix

Fixed missing MIME type for an asset retrieved directly from AEM for context.

Version 5.9.36

[4/29/25]

Improvement

Added check for existing locale mapping for the source locale in the Smartling Dialog.

Version 5.9.35

[4/24/25]

Improvement

The connector captures context directly from AEM in a native way using SlingRequestProcessor . This is the default behavior.
To switch back to HTTP based rendering, use the direct.rendering option in com.smartling.aem.connector.context.impl.resources.http.HttpResourceLoader.cfg.json OSGi config.

{
  // Causes connector to take context from AEM directly
  "direct.rendering": true,
  // AEM Author Instance URL, required
  "server.url": "<server_url>",
  // Username for local AEM Cloud user, required
  "user.name": "<user_name>",
  // Password for local AEM Cloud user, required
  "user.password": "<password>",
  // Connection timeout for loading context from AEM instance in ms. Min 2000ms, Max 10000ms. Optional, 2000ms is default
  "connection.timeout": 2000,
  // Socket timeout for loading context from AEM instance in ms. Min 10000ms, Max 20000ms. Optional, 10000ms is default
  "socket.timeout": 10000,
  // Preview WCMMODE. This mode is used for requesting a context. Optional, 'disabled' is default
  "request.wcmmode": "disabled"
}

Version 5.9.34

[4/14/25]

Improvement

Added support of Repeat translation AEM feature.

Version 5.9.33

[2/27/25]

Improvement

Smartling Dialog validates translation method and provider applied to the content.

Version 5.9.32

[2/19/25]

Improvement

If the user does not specify a parser, the connector will detect a Smartling parser (Text or HTML) for the property content. If the property string does not contain an HTML tag, &, or ", the connector assumes it is just text and not HTML.

Version 5.9.31

[2/10/25]

Improvement

Connector checks /conf/global/settings/smartling/configuration/languageMapping for language mappings first. Usage of this path avoids a warning in AEM Cloud deployment log about overriding /apps/granite/translation/connector/configuration/smartling by customer package.
The connector takes context from the target page/XF/DAM, not from the source. It ensures that the context matches the styles and JavaScript set for the target content.

Version 5.9.30

[1/30/25]

Improvement

Smartling credentials can be set in OSGi configuration com.smartling.aem.connector.core.SmartlingCredentialsConfiguration.cfg.jsonCredentials cannot be changed in the UI in this case.

Bug Fix

Fixed updating payload of workflow form on page editor.

Version 5.9.29

[1/24/25]

Improvement

Connector allows you to request a DAM folder and all its descendants. By default, it includes the folder’s children. Update com.smartling.aem.connector.automation.ui.SmartlingDialogConfiguration.cfg.json to request descendants of the folder.
Connector has a limitation: it processes only the first 100 assets it finds.

Version 5.9.28

[1/21/25]

Improvement

Pseudo translation default option was added to OSGi configuration
com.smartling.aem.connector.automation.ui.SmartlingDialogConfiguration.cfg.json

Bug Fix

AEM Translation Configuration UI correctly displays the Smartling parser for context with inherited rules.

Version 5.9.27

[1/13/25]

Bug Fix

Connector applies Smartling parser (HTML/Text) according to inheritance of translation rules context.

Version 5.9.26

[12/27/24]

Bug Fix

The validator for AEM-created XML files was updated to allow XML string as a property value.

Version 5.9.25

[12/25/24]

Internal improvement

Version 5.9.24

[12/20/24]

Improvement

Minor refactoring to fix AEM warnings. Changed the main package's type to container.

Version 5.9.23

[12/2/24]

Bug Fix

Connector checks translation rules for AEM components taking into account inheritance between them.

Version 5.9.22

[11/22/24]

Bug Fix

Connector trims whitespaces in Smartling job name and page/experience fragment title before initiating the translation flow. This ensures that registered AEM repository namespaces are not used as job or page names.

Version 5.9.21

[11/1/24]

Improvement

Context is taken from source content.
Connector uses the latest Smartling Java API.
Connector checks if target content prepared (exists) for translation request.

Version 5.9.20

[10/11/24]

Improvement

AEM translation job Id was shortened to 12 alphanumeric symbols ([a-zA-Z0-9]). You will see a shorter file name in the Smartling dashboard.
Example: 62f1a6b0-eb31-4cb5-9ac5-c2b7b70b3a4e:/content/launches/2021/08/26/men2/content/we-retail/language-masters/de/men will be d4p56Lsew2m9:/content/launches/2021/08/26/men2/content/we-retail/language-masters/de/men
Updated storage layout under /content/projects/smartling-metadata. Smartling now stores upload metadata in the yyyy/mm/dd folder structure.

Improvement

A new OSGi Enable Legacy Config Validation option has been introduced. It allows you to disable or enable validation for a legacy configuration applied for a page.
OSGi configuration can be specified as com.smartling.aem.connector.automation.impl.wcm.project.TranslationProjectResourceManager.cfg.json:
```
{
  "polling.retry.count": 60,
  "polling.retry.sleep": 600,
  "polling.upload.complete": 30,
  "translation.project.enable.approve": true,

  "translation.project.enable.legacy.config.validation": false
}
```

Version 5.9.9

[03/11/24]

Improvement released

The Callback Host URL option is replaced with a Callback URL option. Customers should specify the full callback URL, e.g. http://my-aem.host.com/services/smartling/sync-translation. For backward compatibility, the previously specified option Callback Host URL is used if no Callback URL option has been specified.
Here is an example of OSGi config file com.smartling.aem.connector.core.impl.config.CallbackUriProviderConfig.cfg.json
```
{
    "callback.url" : "https://my.domain.com/some/path/for/callback", // This property is used by default.
    "callback.host.url":"https://my.domain.com", // If there is no callback.url, then https://my.domain.com/services/smartling/sync-translation will be used.
    "callback.shared.secret":"MySecret"
}
```

Fixed validators for proper processing of several assets or content fragments.
Removed logging into a separate file. It is prohibited in AEM Cloud.

Improvement

Connector allows you to configure AEM Translation project automatic options.

OSGi configuration can be specified as com.smartling.aem.connector.automation.impl.wcm.project.TranslationProjectResourceManager.cfg.json:

{
"polling.retry.count": 60,
"polling.retry.sleep": 600,
"polling.upload.complete": 30,
"translation.project.enable.approve": true,
"translation.project.enable.delete": true,
"translation.project.enable.promote.launch": true
}

Connector doesn't validate missed languages after selecting a job in Smartling Dialog.
- Now, if there is no match for available languages and languages taken from selected job - no languages are selected.
Updated Auto Authorize option in OSGi config.
- It can be used as a default value for Authorize Job option in the Smartling Dialog. OSGi configuration file is com.smartling.aem.connector.core.impl.integration.SynchronousSmartlingFacade.cfg.json:

{
"auto.authorize": true,
"move.strings": false
}

Version 5.9.5

Fixed processing of translation rules for resolving related assets.

Version 5.9.1

[09/26/23]

Bug Fix

Fixed bug with DITAMAP files.
Added a new index under '/content/projects' for Smartling properties. This may result in AEM re-indexing, which may take some time.

Version 5.9.0

[09/15/23]

Improvement

The Connector uploads content using additional metadata saved in the translation project folder. It avoids an AEM issue in Prepare Translation Step for content sent for translation from Smartling Dialog.

Version 5.8.4

[08/31/23]

Improvement

Added validation for unchecked of Translation Component Strings option in Translation Integration configuration.

Version 5.8.3

[07/26/23]

Bug Fix

Fixed bug with polling AEM for translation project being created.

Improvements

Added support of buckets in translation project's job.

Version 5.8.2

[07/26/23]

Bug Fix

Fixed error for loading projects on non-content or service pages.

Improvements

Siblings languages only option specified for Smartling - Page language copy manager (Touch) configuration works for assets too.
com.smartling.aem.connector.automation.impl.wcm.localization.PageLanguageCopyManagerImpl.cfg.json
```
{
  "respect.content.observing.language.roots": true,
  "only.sibling.language.roots": true
}
```
```
 
```
Added support of web callbacks. When translation of a file is completed, Smartling side will sent an HTTP request to AEM Touch Connector. Connector will ask AEM to sync the translation with Smartling side.
Some AEM options should be configured to have this feature work properly. First of all be sure that proper AEM host URL is specified in Smartling - Callback URL (Touch) OSGi configuration. The connector can validate the signature of an incoming callback request, see documentation. To enable this feature, the customer should contact their Smartling CSM to enable signed callbacks for your account. com.smartling.aem.connector.core.impl.config.CallbackUriProviderConfig.cfg.json
```
{
    "callback.host.url":"https://aem.public.host.com",
    "callback.shared.secret":"secretSharedString"
}
```
org.apache.sling.engine.impl.auth.SlingAuthenticator.cfg.json

}
```

Version 5.8.1

[04/20/23]

Bug Fix

Smartling job locale validator checks locales available for the current page/XF/CF only.

Improvements

Added a toggle Only sibling language roots for narrowing a list of languages on Smartling dialog. This option can be set as a part of com.smartling.aem.connector.automation.impl.wcm.localization.PageLanguageCopyManagerImpl.cfg.json OSGi configuration
```
{
  "respect.content.observing.language.roots": true,
  "only.sibling.language.roots": true
}
```

Version 5.8.0

[03/21/23]

Bug Fix

Fixed processing of blank fields that are sent for translation.

Improvements

Added Move strings option. Use move.strings boolean option in com.smartling.aem.connector.core.impl.integration.SynchronousSmartlingFacade OSGi configuration.
Variants for i18n dictionary are set from i18n-keys/property names.
The language selector shows country and locale for a language option.
Smartling dialog allows searching by a language contained a term (e.g. locale code).
Connector installs a new security group smartling-projects-owners. Every user assigned to the group gets Owner and Observer roles for every translation project created via Smartling Dialog.
CAUTION! The user assigned to the group should have appropriate permissions for managing a translation job. In another case, AEM may encounter issues with applying translations under the user permissions. It is recommended the user should be assigned to the Authors and Projects Administrators security groups along with the smartling-projects-owners group at least.
