6. For translators
• a place to store and manage your TM's and glossaries, and do cool and useful
things with them
• a place to potentially connect with “spot on” clients simply by allowing your prior
work to speak for itself - without a word of it being disclosed
For translation buyers
For translation companies
• a place to connect with “spot on” translators based on the material you need
translated -- without needing to disclose the work before selection
• as the work is done by specialists, and the matching process is more automated
and more accurate, benefits may be obtained in the areas of quality, price and
turnaround
• a tool to enable your project managers or vendor managers to more quickly, more
easily and more accurately select the best people for new translation jobs
