Translation Management System (TMS) configuration: <\/span><\/div>You manage your content; we take care of everything else<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Implementing a translation management system (TMS) to improve productivity, consistency and control over your translation workflows is a major step forward in your internationalisation efforts. But it still needs to be set up properly.<\/p>\n

Most organisations that invest in a TMS end up with a system that is under-configured, poorly understood and gradually abandoned. Not because the tool is bad, but because nobody has taken the time to adapt it to their way of working.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to ensure your translation management system works for you: configured to your specifications, integrated with your tools, and used by your teams on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is a translation management system (TMS) and why do you need one?<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A translation management system, more commonly known as a TMS (Translation Management System), is a platform that centralises and organises your translation workflows<\/strong>. It stores your translation memories, manages your terminology, coordinates contributors and keeps a record of every approval. For any organisation that regularly produces multilingual content, this is the tool that transforms a series of isolated projects into a streamlined process.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

translation memories\r\n \r\n .<\/div>\r\n
Each translated segment is saved and automatically reused. You won\u2019t be charged twice for the translation of identical or similar content.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

Terminology management<\/div>\r\n
Your key terms, product names and industry-specific phrases are centralised in a shared glossary. The same concept is applied consistently across all your content.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

Validation workflow<\/div>\r\n
Every translation follows a set process: translation, proofreading, and final approval. Everything is traceable, with no need for manual file transfers.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

Connecting to your tools<\/div>\r\n
A well-integrated translation tool connects to your website, content platforms and business tools. The content is distributed automatically, without any manual intervention.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Phrase, Lokalise, Trados and GlobalLink are among the most widely used translation management systems on the market.<\/strong> These are also the tools we are proficient in and which we use to support our clients.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

You have invested in a translation management system. Your account has been created and your subscription is active. So what now?<\/p>\n

The default settings for these tools do not take into account your organisation, your processes or your actual needs. These platforms are marketed as turnkey solutions, but they are designed for everyone, and therefore for no one in particular<\/strong>. It\u2019s like hiring an expert and never telling them what you expect of them.<\/p>\n

Consequently, without the correct settings:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
