Enable the Auto-Translation Framework for Localized Intake and Case Submissions

Learn how to connect Vault Safety to Amazon Translate for localized intake and Case Submissions.

About the Feature

The Vault Safety Auto-Translation Framework facilitates the translation of Case text fields to local languages through Amazon Translate. Admins can configure translation settings by localization, controlling which fields are translated and setting volume limits.

After completing the required configuration, see Prepare a Localized Case for details on using this feature.

Note: You can also set up the Auto-Translation Framework for Intake translation using a non-AWS translation service for custom integrations. Contact Veeva Support for more information.

23R1 Update: Local Intake Auto-Translation Framework

In Vault Safety 23R1, the Auto-Translation Framework was added for localized Inbox Item intake, whether through manual creation or importing a local Inbox Item. This feature enables translating Inbox Item text fields from reporter languages to English through Amazon Translate. See the (23R1) enablement instructions to configure your Vault for local intake translation.

For more information about using this feature, see Perform Local Language to English Intake.

Note: Automated Case Promotion, Auto-Translation Framework for Local Intake, and Sender-Based Inbound Validations are not compatible. You can enable all three (3) features in your Vault but you can only use one (1) for an inbound Transmission Profile.

Prerequisites

Before enabling the Vault Safety Auto-Translation Framework, your organization must have an AWS account with Amazon Translate and complete the following tasks:

Set up an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket
Set up an Identity and Access Management (IAM) role and configure its event bus
Communicate your AWS Account ID to Veeva Support

All of these steps must be completed before the feature can be used. Veeva Support will contact you when setup is complete.

Set Up an Amazon S3 Bucket

Complete the following steps to add an Amazon S3 bucket to your AWS account:

Create an S3 bucket with a name of your choosing.

Note: The S3 bucket must be in an AWS region that supports batch translation.
In the S3 bucket, create two folders with the following names:
- "translate_folder"
- "translate_output"

Set Up an Identity and Access Management (IAM) Role

To set up an AWS IAM role, which will be assumed by Vault Safety, you must complete the following tasks:

Generate an External ID in Vault Safety
Configure an IAM role in AWS

Generate an External ID in Vault Safety

In Vault Safety, complete the following steps to generate an External ID on the Amazon Translate Connection record:

Go to Admin > Connections > Amazon Translate Connection.
In the All Actions menu, select Generate External ID.

Configure an IAM Role in AWS

In your AWS account, complete the following steps to configure an IAM role for Vault Safety to assume:

Create an IAM role with a name of your choosing.
Add the following permission set, replacing <Your account id>, <Your Role Name>, and <Your Bucket Name> with the applicable details:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Action": "iam:PassRole", "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::<Your account id>:role/<Your Role Name>", "Effect": "Allow" }, { "Action": [ "translate:StopTextTranslationJob", "translate:ListTextTranslationJobs", "translate:StartTextTranslationJob", "translate:TranslateText", "translate:DescribeTextTranslationJob", "translate:TranslateDocument" ], "Resource": "*", "Effect": "Allow" }, { "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:ListBucket", "s3:PutObject", "s3:GetBucketLocation", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:DeleteBucket" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::<Your bucket name>", "arn:aws:s3:::<Your bucket name>/*" ], "Effect": "Allow" } ] }
Add the following trust relationships replacing <Your generated external ID> with the Vault Safety-generated External ID.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "translate.amazonaws.com" }, "Action": "sts:AssumeRole" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": [ "arn:aws:iam::091592193973:root" ] }, "Action": "sts:AssumeRole", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "sts:ExternalId": <Your generated external ID> } } } ] }
On your default event bus, create a rule to push completed translation jobs to Veeva's event bus.
Configure the rule as described below:
- Add the following event pattern:
  { "source": ["aws.translate"], "detail-type": ["Translate TextTranslationJob State Change"] }
- Based on the region of your Vault and the release type (General or Limited), add a target for the form using the following format:
  arn:aws:events:< region >:091592193973:event-bus/< region > - < release >-prod-Vault-Safety-Connections-Event-Bus
  - For example, if your Vault is in us-east-1 and in the General Release environment, your target would be as follows:
    arn:aws:events:us-east-1:091592193973:event-bus/ us-east-1-gr-prod-Vault-Safety-Connections-Event-Bus

Communicate AWS Account ID to Veeva Support

Contact Veeva Support to provide your AWS Account ID. This enables us to complete the setup of your Translate Connection. You will be contacted when the feature is ready for use.
