Editor's Notes

  • #2 THIS SLIDE IS ANIMATED
  • #3 THIS SLIDE IS ANIMATED Note that at the LSP site – a Translation Management System (TMS) is helpful – but not required
  • #5 Most companies send content to their translators manually (90% of content is sent for translation manually*) - Email, Cut and Paste text - Use Excel trying to organize files - Slow, unreliable and confusing - No way to track progress - No metrics possible - No way to manage multiple languages at once - Good chance of missing deadlines *Common Sense Advisory 2007

  • #11 THIS SLIDE IS ANIMATED Routing is achieved by rules configured at time of implementation Routing possible by various parameters: File type, language pair, etc.
