Translation Memory

Leveraging the power of the global standard in translation memory: TRADOS TM

Advantages of using TMUsing TM on high-volume jobs, we have seen amazing results:

Speed – Turnaround time is cut in half, when comparing with orders we'd handled in the past.

Quality - We found a 40% improvement over the earlier software, i.e. fewer cases of variableness to correct, better terminology referencing, etc.

Cost-effectiveness - Naturally we have been able to reduce costs on translation jobs with considerable enhancement in efficiency and quality, which is made possible by using TM Server.

Total Quality Process

4 simple concepts:

Process in parallel allows a full QA including 100% preparation, 100% translation, 100% editing and 100% QC…

…while traditional translation process allows 100% translation & 40% editing only – there is no time for preparation and QC for the same timeframe.

•Focus on prevention via the Evaluation process & preparation stage

•Permanent monitoring during production stage via our Online Systems (JobSys) and our daily project status meeting

•Full Quality Control & Sign off of deliverables
