Translation Management

The CCM of Choice for Technical Communication

Managing translations is more than just sending your files to a translation office and receiving the translated files again. Good translation management is an entire process that enables translators and translation offices to more quickly deliver reliable translations

Minimize the content that needs to be translated

For each new version of a topic, the SDL Structured Content Technologies CCM Solutions recognize which blocks were added or updated. The SDL Structured Content Technologies CCM Solutions generate a file for all target languages containing clear indications of the content that needs to be translated. Needless to say that this means huge cost savings, especially in companies where a large part of the technical communication budget goes to translations.

Integrate with the leading translation management systems

The SDL Structured Content Technologies CCM Solutions have been designed to enable seamless integration with leading translation management systems such as SDL Translation Management System™ and SDL WorldServer™, driving down costs while providing a continuous process from content creation through to final publication

Integrate with translation offices

SDL Structured Content Technologies CCM Solutions have a configurable web-based workflow capabilities. This allows translators to participate in the translation process from anywhere in the world. Today external translation offices have project management and workflow environments. Such an environment can be seamlessly connected to the workflow, improving overall productivity.

Integrate with translation tools

The SDL Structured Content Technologies CCM Solutions seamlessly integrates with market leading translation memory tools like SDLX™, SDL Trados TagEditor™ and others. The content that needs to be translated is always XML-based, providing the best input for translation memories because no conversion has to be done.
