The workload of translators has already been lowered to a great extent by translation memory and other computer-assisted translation tools. Transit, the translation memory product from eTranslate, has been used for many years in the industry and allows you to achieve significant cost savings. The next step is the automation of routine operations and processes so that resources can be used effectively.

The system is best used to address the following business requirements:

• A large number of small content with critical deadlines that must be regularly translated into several languages (e.g. service bulletins)
• Content in significant volume that is created or maintained in modules.
• Cost reduction by cutting back administrative overhead
• Shorter turnaround times or less errors by eliminating the human factor in routine processing
• Reliably monitoring the status and quality of work performed.

The system server automatically prepares a translation project based on the information provided by the customer (including "best" player selection for processing during the workflow). Sends the job data to a qualified translator. A purchase order can automatically be generated and sent with the job.
The translator accepts the job, notifies the workflow server automatically, and launches the Transit translation memory tool. The translator can also use the client web-interface to download the package and launch Transit manually. The finished job is sent back to the server.

The benefits of employing the Translation Management System include:

• Enabling your team to product Web based language information without the need to know how to produce HTML language Web pages.
• Removes the cost of HTML language page production altogether.
• Enables you to expedite translation to external translator and receive the translation directly from them over the Internet using the Translation Management System Translation console
• Provides tools to manage review and approval and
• Allows the site to grow in pages and in new languages without additional cost.

Without the translation management system, every time you create a page, you will incur the cost of

• The Translation
• The cost of producing the Web page or PDF (in the case of the PDF, every time you have to edit a page the entire PDF will need to be created. If your team is to do the translation themselves, they also need to make sure that their PC environment is capable of delivering translation in Unicode/ Web complaint format.

With the Translation Management System, creating a language page will simply invoice flagging a page to be translated, the Translation Management System notifies the translator to logon and translate online. Finally, you simply receive the translation, get someone to review the translation online and set the page live.

Quantitatively if we were to compare the cost -
Option 1 - Without the Translation Management System, a page will cost -
For translation (assumed 350 words per page) $98.00 per language
For page building $30-$40 per page per language

Option 2 - With the Translation Management System, a page will cost
For translation only (assumed 350 words) $98.00 or lower if your team was to do it in house.

So if you web site was to have 150 pages across 4 languages.
Then the cost savings will be approx $24,500 in this instance. For a schedule demonstration or on site presentation on it will fast track your globalization objectives, please submit your enquiries from the "Post your query now" form.
