PLAZMA TD Tech Talk 2018 at Shibuya: Hive2 as a new td hadoop core engine

Ryu Kobayashi

Ryu Kobayashi gave a presentation on Plazma TD's Hive2 implementation. He discussed how they forked from Apache Hive due to bugs not being addressed quickly enough. Their storage uses PlazmaDB instead of HDFS. He highlighted how they have improved performance with vectorization support and fixed bugs. Upcoming plans include alpha/beta releases of their new PlazmaDB with CBO support, adding Tez execution, and supporting Hive3. Testing involves system-level and query-focused testing to address issues like schema mismatches and UDF incompatibilities.

Quality and Localization Effectiveness

TAUS - The Language Data Network

How do you measure translation quality and the effectiveness of localization activities and what will the opportunities and benefits be for sharing metrics in the future? The industry has been working on this topic, and discussing it in detail for some time now – and rightly so - but where are we ‘along the road’, and what progress are we making, and is it clear where we are going? The change from Waterfall to Agile development, the move from project based to continuous localization, mean that we cannot expect a static definition of quality, however comprehensive, to define translation or localization quality. Furthermore the detailed measurement of costs versus benefit means we cannot make wholesale changes to QA processes without having data on ROI – and quality is really about ensuring products are saleable, and profitable. Where do these facts leave us? This panel will try to place us on the QA map, discuss the TAUS DQF offering, and put forward some new ideas and thoughts on how we can work collaboratively in this area. Session host: Paul Mangell (Alpha CRC) Presenters and panelists are: Dragos Munteanu (SDL), Istvan Lengyel (Kilgray), Guylaine Tritton (Alpha CRC)

Nu Skin: Integrating the Day CMS with Translation.com

Day Software

Nu Skin Enterprises is a multinational direct selling company doing business in 50 countries around the world. Recently Nu Skin migrated all of its European market sites from a home grown solution to the Day CMS. The creation of the EU sites in the old solution took more than 6 months. With the Day CMS and translation workflows fully implemented, Nu Skin built 51 sites for 25 markets in 18 languages in 63 days from scratch. Every page was complete with web analytics code and indexed in the on-site search engine. This session will review the project and the process of using Translation.com.

The document outlines a five-phase framework for conducting format migrations of digital assets in a repository: 1) Plan for Test, 2) Test, 3) Refine Plan, 4) Execute Plan, and 5) Wrap-Up. Each phase includes specific activities and deliverables. The framework was developed and tested through two example migrations of RealAudio files and Kodak PhotoCD images. Key lessons learned include soliciting user input on format obsolescence and the nuanced complexity of migrations compared to literature depictions. The generic framework proved useful in practice and can help institutionalize format migrations.

Content Strategy at Symantec (STC 2009)

Tristan Bishop

Symantec restructured its knowledge delivery process to use a topic-based XML workflow to reduce localization costs, enable simultaneous product releases globally, and improve customer access to self-service support information. The new process uses XML, content management systems, globalization management, and machine translation to publish over 16,000 online support topics. This has led to localization cost savings over $2 million, French product releases within a week of English, and over 5 million monthly support topic page views. Symantec plans to further expand self-service support using search and a knowledge management system.

Career advancement through personal branding

Jack Molisani

I recently went to a conference where attendees' name tags included the phrase, “Ask me about… [then the answer attendees provided when registering].” While the intent was to give attendees a way to break the ice when networking, I realized the whole concept of personal branding could be summarized by that simple statement, 'Ask me about…' How is technical communication viewed in your organization? Does your boss's boss think of your department as a core part of the development team, or a burdensome commodity to be acquired at the lowest possible price given an acceptable level of quality? What are you doing to promote your corporate value and advance your career? What should people ask you about…?

Let’s Work Together: How SASB Implemented DITA and Changed their Corporate Cu...

Jack Molisani

The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board™ (SASB™) develops and disseminates industryspecific sustainability accounting standards that help public corporations disclose material, decision-useful information to investors. Because the Standards team needed to capture their research, track how it drove the standards, and publish the standards via multiple channels, SASB implemented DITA with a CMS. Jessi Lawrence and Amber Swope worked with the SASB organization to change the culture from addressing individual team's pain points to collaboratively designing the right solution for everyone. They leveraged their agile development approach with the content and tool development, and developed tools and processes that organically adapt to the Standards team's existing daily workflow but still solve the larger problem of disconnected processes. Not only did the project change how the content creators and publishers work, it changed their relationship with the IT team, which moved from being a support organization to truly being a service organization. In this session, you will learn how implementing DITA is more than an opportunity to address technical and business requirements. It's your chance to break down barriers between teams and work together. Jessi and Amber describe how implementing DITA with a CMS not only changed how the content creators and publishers work, but also changed their relationship with the IT team, which moved from being a support organization to truly being a service organization.

Matt Sullivan: Bootstrapping Your Initiatives

Jack Molisani

The document discusses four case studies of companies that were able to free up budget for new initiatives by first making adjustments to improve existing processes. In Case Study 1, a company decreased localization expenses by 50% by supplying structured content files instead of binary files. In Case Study 2, a company reduced programming costs by migrating to DITA and uploading directly to their content management system. Case Study 3 details how asking for one month to standardize style usage resulted in long-term consistency. Case Study 4 discusses taking a long view of documentation to address holes in the system and improve formatting over 1.5 years. The takeaways are to look for largest budget items to target for improvements and ensure initial projects aimed at fixing leaks have

Steve Huffman: You Want It, Now Sell it to Management

Jack Molisani

This document discusses building a business case for implementing a content management system (CMS). It emphasizes understanding different perspectives, including those of management and stakeholders. A successful business case must demonstrate how the CMS solves business problems, fits organizational needs and budgets, and addresses both direct and indirect costs and potential intangible assets and liabilities. It is important to consider perspectives across the organization to gain credibility and sell the value of adopting a CMS.

Andrew Thomas: Frankenstein's Monster

Jack Molisani

The document discusses the need for companies to create "content mashups" by combining and reusing technical documentation, marketing materials, and other content across organizational teams. This allows customers to more easily find information by delivering personalized, relevant content based on factors like location, language, and past purchases. However, companies often face roadblocks like disconnected content repositories and lack of standards. The document argues that effective content mashups require structured content, common taxonomies and terminology, and platforms for intelligent delivery of dynamic content tailored to individual customers to improve their experiences.

Jeff Engle: Taking the Show on the Road

Jack Molisani

The document discusses three different implementations of DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) across different verticals: a technical implementation at Xerox, an implementation for human resources documentation, and an implementation for learning and training materials. Each implementation faced different challenges related to authoring tools, content management systems, and output types, but was able to leverage common DITA concepts and processes to dynamically deliver standardized, reusable content more efficiently across channels. DITA allows organizations to implement structured content management successfully in various domains beyond just technical publications.

Caroline Juszczak: An Information Development Tent Revival

Jack Molisani

SolarWinds provides IT management software to customers worldwide. They have transitioned their documentation to focus on customer success through a knowledge base called MindTouch. This involves producing concise documentation focused on business value, as well as leveraging reuse of content and advanced MindTouch features. Challenges included importing large amounts of content efficiently while avoiding duplicates. The solution was to store content in a reuse area and call it dynamically as needed. This allowed maintaining structure, metadata, and statistics during updates.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile Systems

Jim Tivy: The Localization Lifecycle

1. The Localization Lifecycle From CCMS to TMS and back again Jim Tivy, CTO Bluestream Oct 2016

2. Tower of Babel to reach heaven - Gustave Dore - engraving

3. Contents 1. Introduction 2. Overview 3. Core Technologies 4. Use Cases of Note 5. Commercial Considerations 6. Summary

4. Introduction • Germany, July 2016 – export 96 billion EUR – import 80 billion EUR • Features span multiple releases. • Products release across locales • Enter, CCMS and TMS +

5. Overview

6. Localization Process

7. Translation Process • Topic set selection • Can be incremental

8. Roles • Content Development Team • Localization Manager • Localization Service Provider • Translator • In-Country Reviewer

9. Core Technologies

10. DITA • XML and UTF-8 • Standalone Topics • Conrefs • Keys • Conditional Processing • Separation of content from presentation • xml:lang=“fr-FR” • translate =“no” • dir=“ltr”

11. CCMS • Parallel of source and target files • Target version -> source version • Used for publishing (scriptable)

12. Translation Memory (TM) • A data model. • stores segment correspondence • Often proprietary database.

13. TMX <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <tmx version="1.4"> <header/> <body> <tu> <tuv xml:lang="en"> <seg>Hello world!</seg> </tuv> <tuv xml:lang="fr"> <seg>Bonjour tout le monde!</seg> </tuv> </tu> </body> </tmx>

14. Translation Management System (TMS) • Customers, TMs, Projects • Roles and Users • Online Translation Workbench • Import and Export – DITA – XLIFF • Terminology Management • Federation

15. LSP and TMS Process

16. LSP Process • Export – Files with remapped links – Integrated with TMS • Variations of Extract or Filter • Analysis – ICE matches (in context) – 100% matches (somewhere) – Fuzzy matches (threshold – 70%) – No match

17. Skeleton File <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <topic xml:lang="en-US"> <title>%1%</title> <body><p>%2%</p></body> </topic>

18. XLiff <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xliff version="1.0"> <file source-language="en" target-language="de"> <header/> <body> <trans-unit id="%1%"> <source>The Header</source> <target>Der Header</target> </trans-unit> <trans-unit id="%2%"> <source>The "Generator".</source> <target>Der "Generator".</target> </trans-unit> </body> </file> </xliff>

19. Reviewing • Quality Assurance – LSP or… • Review output to TM problem • In-country review

20. LSP Hosted Review

21. Fixing the Segments

22. Use Cases of Note

23. Use Cases • Basics • Capture at release time. • Iterative • Common Content • Manual Fixup

24. Basics • 1 or n languages • 1 or n LSPs

25. Capture Goal: Capture approved content for version 1 Description: Version 1 of the content is fully approved and development is continuing on version 2.0 content. Solutions: – Branch the content – Export Localization by Label

26. Iterative • 60% pre translated • Agile sprint translations

27. Common Content Goal: Prevent re-translation of common content. Description: Project A and Project B share some common corporate content. Solutions: – Separate Project. – Let the TM handle it. – Let the old/current CCMS status handle it

28. Manual Fixup Goal: To incorporate some image files not translated by the LSP. Description: Some images translations are handled by manufacturing (they are stickers on machine parts). You receive this set of images and now must incorporate these images into the translated content. Solutions: – Direct Insertion into the CMS with Fixup.

29. Commercial Considerations • Owning the TMS or TM • Cost per word – cost of living – German 20c – Chinese 12c – Malta 50c • Project management fee: 8% • No per TM cost. • No cost for ICE matches

30. Summary • Well known use cases • Well understood techniques • Proper factoring of tools • Equals best practices
