15. Benefits
Speed: Improved business agility
Centralizing and sharing linguistic assets makes it
easy to find and leverage reusable translation assets
and services to quickly adapt localization activity to
changing requirements.
Cost: Effective reuse of translation
The success of a cost effective, localization process is
directly dependent on the reuse of translation assets
and services
Centralizing your linguistic assets provides a powerful
means to ensure translation assets and services are
consistently available and easily discovered
Quality: Higher quality translation services
A localization operation cannot be successful without
consistently high quality and relevant translation
services
Centralizing linguistic assets provides the structure
and control necessary for enforcing access, re-use
and corporate level language consistency
16. Industry Dilemma
Twenty years of TM usage
Gigantic collection of translated TMs
Terminology & Glossary translations
available
Used by 80,000+ professional
translators
TM promised were fair and
achievable
Leave the repetitive work to the
computer
Translator to focus on quality and
precision of translations
17. Industry Dilemma
Initial TM’s designed for
single translator
Desktop bound
Single file processing
Translator always in ‘control’
Current model for the
industry
Vast distribution of different sets of
TM’s & Glossaries
Paradigm Shift in industry
requirements
Valuable to centralise and
‘internalise’ all TM’s
Focus on creating more value out
of linguistic resources
