2. An apparatus comprising: a computer processor; a module coupled with the computer processor containing computer readable instructions for detecting when a document, data stream, or non-text file in the master language has been updated; a module coupled with the computer processor containing computer readable instructions for notifying a user of the presence of one or more translation jobs, wherein said one or more translation jobs include corresponding documents, data streams, or non-text files in other languages that are out-of-date and require translation; a translation bus coupled with the computer processor and with a plurality of translation resources via a plurality of adaptors, forming a Workflow Pipeline, wherein the translation bus is selected from among a centralized translation bus and a distributed translation bus; a module coupled with the computer processor containing computer readable instructions for distributing the translation jobs over the Workflow Pipeline, the distributing comprising: converting the document, data stream, or non-text file to be translated into an internal format, routing the internal format representation of the document, data stream, or non-text file to a translation resource of the plurality of translation resources, converting the internal format representation into a translation resource format understood by the first translation resource via a corresponding adaptor of the plurality of adaptors, and performing translation or an appropriate linguistic transformation by the translation resource; a module coupled with the computer processor containing computer readable instructions for converting the translation resource format representation back into the internal format via the corresponding adaptor; and a module coupled with the computer processor containing computer readable instructions for coordinating the delivery of the translated document, data stream, or non-text file for installation to a destination selected from among a web site, database, and a file system.
