Frequently Asked Questions


Getting Started with Transformation

Dakwak's platform, capable of transforming a diverse range of content types, including JSON, XML, and HTML. Additionally, our platform offers the flexibility to accommodate any other content type based on proven use-cases.
Dakwak offers a versatile array of transformation options, allowing for intricate control over the conversion process. Take, for instance, an HTML element with the attribute data-item='Transform me.' With Dakwak, you can leverage specific transformers tailored to your needs. If you choose the localizer and set French as the target language, that particular element can be precisely selected for transformation into French. Alternatively, utilizing the proofreader might result in the addition of an exclamation mark at the end of the element. Meanwhile, employing the paraphraser could transform 'Transform me' into 'Transform me now.' This granular control empowers you to apply nuanced adjustments and tailor content transformations according to your preferences.

Content Management & Editing

Content transformation begins with our default Machine Transformation system which is instantaneous.
dakwak utilizes a combination of advanced machine learning algorithms and human expertise to ensure the accuracy of content post-transformation. While the platform initially provides machine-driven transformations, it's designed for users to manually review and edit the content directly within the system or directly on your website. This fusion of technology and user interaction guarantees content that is both accurate and relevant to its intended audience.
dakwak continuously monitors your source (original) content for any changes. Upon detecting a change, the system automatically re-transforms the content to maintain up-to-date transformations. Additionally, periodic schedules can be set for content regeneration, providing flexibility based on users' preferences.
With dakwak, you can manage your content transformations in three main ways:
  • Through the dakwak content dashboard: Log into dakwak and navigate to your personal dashboard. Here, you'll find your website's content organized into manageable sections.
  • Through the dakwak admin dashboard: Log into dakwak and navigate to your admin dashboard. Here, you'll find your website's content transformers and rules to use and apply
  • Through the dakwak widget: This is seamlessly integrated into your website and allows you to live edit your content directly on your site.
The choice is completely yours. You can set up a pre-defined transformations tasks (publishing workflow) which determines when and how your content gets published. Of course, as an administrator you will always be able to override any changes as you see fit.
With dakwak, you have the capability to modify the sources of multimedia assets such as images and videos on the transformed versions of your website based on rules you establish. For instance, you can set a rule to replace 'image.png' with 'image_newversion.png' for the transformed content. However, it's important to note that this current method may soon evolve. We're in the process of integrating a sophisticated AI image classification and processing model that could offer even more advanced customization options.
You have various options to give you total control over what you want to do. If you’d like to change a certain word or more to the entire website, this is doable by mass replacement. Otherwise you might just want to edit the translation only.
At dakwak, we understand the nuances of content transformation. Therefore, we allow publishing transformations at two distinct levels:
  • Publish per website: This approach changes a particular phrase across the entire website based on the transformation you've executed. It's the default method, ensuring that users don't have to repeat transformations for the same phrase multiple times.
  • Publish per page: With this method, any transformation you apply to a phrase will only affect identical phrases on the specific page you are working on. It won't influence the same phrase present elsewhere on the website.
Although this is very unlikely to happen, and if it happens it could be a caching issue. You can drop us an email at support@dakwak.com
