Flexibility to meet your client demands

Have you had to turn down a new job opportunity because your client uses a translation application that you don’t have or are unfamiliar with? Being flexible and able to adapt to the demands of prospective customers will help you grow your business. Now you no longer need to purchase different translation tools. Translation Workspace is highly interoperable with other systems on the market, providing support for TMX, SDL Trados TTX, WorldServer XLIFF kits, and several commonly used text-based import/export formats. The system’s interoperability allows you to receive files, Translation Memory (TM) and Glossary assets generated with other tools, import them into Translation Workspace for translation, and then convert your delivery to the original file format received from your customer.

Work with familiar tools

Getting started in Translation Workspace is fast and easy as you can work in two familiar translation environments – one integrated with Microsoft Word and another that is optimized to work on tagged file formats. Both editing environments offer all the features and functionality professional linguists expect, including spell check, segment splitting/merging, QA checks, preview, and of course instant hits from on-demand Live Assets^TM, including glossaries and TM resources. Also, you’ll find  5-15% measurably better leveraging than other server TM systems, based on predictive fuzzy match re-use functionality.

 Translation Workspace enables you to:

• Receive and deliver SDL Trados TTX files
• Receive and deliver Idiom WorldServer XLIFF files
• Import and export common TM and Glossary formats
• Work consistently in a familiar translation interface

 One platform to handle all your translation productivity needs

Let the cloud computing power and language asset management features of Translation Workspace help you broaden the range of projects you work on. Designed to support commonly used file types, TMs, and Glossaries, now you can work on any project, without the burden of purchasing a separate translation tool for each client. Get started today with Translation Workspace and expand the range of projects you can accept!

Manual and time-consuming processes

Reconciling Translation Memories (TMs) stored on network servers, local disk drives, email, spreadsheets, and individual documents can become a logistical nightmare and add hours of non-billable time to a project.  Whether you are with an agency or you lead a freelancer team, you have probably faced this issue. Also, when you give physical access to your language assets, your assets are now in “silos” on someone else’s computers that you don’t control.  As a result, this adds unnecessary inefficiency into the translation process.  There’s a better way!

Eliminate the need for synchronization

By hosting your assets online with Translation Workspace you eliminate the manual synchronization effort that users of desktop translation tools find themselves struggling with. When collaborating on projects with other freelancers, agencies or even your own customers–translators have immediate, real-time access to the latest translations, terminology, and review comments, and are able to spend more time working, and rather than merging and managing static TMs and glossaries. With Translation Workspace, all your TMs and Glossaries are always up-to-date.

Access your Translation Memory and Glossaries as Live Assets^TM

With Translation Workspace, your entire translation ecosystem has the same real-time view of terminology, glossaries and previously translated materials. Translators, community contributors, internal linguists and reviewers all work together on the same with the same up to date assets. That gives you the highest level of asset accuracy and productivity. When one translator translates or corrects a segment, that translation is instantaneously available across your translation ecosystem.  Updated content is automatically populated and reflected directly within their working environment. 

The software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach of Translation Workspace eliminates:

• Compatibility issues
• Versioning of TMs
• Manual TM & Glossary synchronization
• IT overhead and infrastructure costs
