Deployment Scenarios

The Lingoport Suite is composed of a number of components. You may need some of the components for a set of users and other components for Continuous Globalization.

Typical Deployment and Ports

Setting up the Lingoport Suite on a customer's system can be done in many ways, as shown in the different deployment scenarios. The following is meant to show the necessary access to the system.

• The Customer's systems are shown in Light Blue; CentOS for the main system where Jenkins and Dashboard reside.
• Access from outside the Customer's system are shown in Light Green.

Installation Components

• The Globalyzer Server is hosted by Lingoport.
• The Dashboard Server and Build Server are installed on one machine, although they could be on different machines.
• The Developer Machine is not shown in this diagram. The developer will push source code to the repositories and may not have any Lingoport Software on their machine.

Ports

• Jenkins is accessed via port 8080
• Lingoport Dashboard is accessed via port 9000
• The Translation Vendor may be accessed by different means, for instance port 21 for FTP or port 22 for SFTP.
• Access for the Lingoport (or internal) installation team can be done in many ways, such as SSH for Telnet or Putty.
• The system must be able to access https://globalyzer.com.

Other aspects

• Jenkins installation requires access to the Jenkins update site, http://updates.jenkins-ci.org
• Dashboard may require access to the SonarQube update site, http://update.sonarsource.org
• Notifications are sent using an SMTP account: The system must allow access to an SMTP server (e.g. smtp.gmail.com for Google)

Additional deployments

In this section, we illustrate some possible deployments.

Team Members

• Globalyzer Workbench for i18n Specialists
  • i18n Specialists use the powerful Globalyzer Workbench to refine rule sets and interactively internationalize applications.
• Globalyzer Lite for Developers
  • Developers run Globalyzer Lite from within their Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), getting quick feedback on potential i18n issues within their code.

Continuous Globalization

• Globalyzer Lite for Continuous Globalization
  • Simple to set up.
  • Lighter interface for Continuous Globalization.
  • Projects can be analyzed concurrently.
• Globalyzer CLI for Continuous Globalization
  • Powerful, with many options.
  • Historically standard for Continuous Globalization.
  • Projects must be analyzed one at a time.
• Globalyzer API for Continuous Globalization
  • Most powerful and most flexible option.
  • Requires writing your own Java program(s).

• LRM for Continuous Globalization
  • Keeps tabs on the status of translations and resource files.
  • Automates much of the translation process.

• Continuous Globalization
  • Combination of the above sections.

Code Verification

• Globalyzer and Check in Verification
  • Analyze source code during commit check in.
  • Reject commits that fail i18n requirements.
