Top Features
Rigi offers direct visual feedback to the in-country reviewer with index-based screen captures. These previews are created during the setup of the project. Right from the start of your project this valuable context is available for every team member. Developers do not waste their time on making screenshots and manually associate them with the strings. The context is already there to use for QA, without any extra effort.
Because your Rigi-project is living in the cloud, all resources are available to everyone in your team. Both your direct colleagues and contracted in-country reviewers. Create and assign review-tasks on the fly within Rigi. Review packs can consist of only one updated page to entire projects, and everything in between. You decide. And because Rigi has no limit on users, even in the Basic Plan, you can engage your entire international network to finish the task.
Within Rigi’s dashboard, issue reporting is as easy as it can be. Reviewers can just click in the screen capture to highlight a string and report it as not being correct. A tester can suggest a better translation and provide QA metrics. Click to save and off to the next task, preview by preview! With our smart monitoring tools, reviewers are always informed about the progress of the task at hand.
The importance of LQA in localization is gaining weight every week. Rigi offers support for all common and emerging processes. For measuring and evaluating both human and machine translations the quality assessment frameworks DQF and MQM can easily be integrated in your localization project.
Managing localization is a complex process, that can stir a lot of stress without the right tools. Since team members from different disciplines, different companies and even different countries are involved, the project manager needs to be sharp at all times. Rigi has your back by delivering a 360-degree solution that gives you complete control over every aspect of the job.
With the source files you get from your development team, you can setup the entire project in Rigi. When importing your files, you can choose the right parser for you file format and define fine grained target rules. You can even do a pre-translation if you start with an active project that has some translations already done.
When you know your application well enough, you can capture previews just by clicking around. Make sure you visit every corner of your application. If your developers run automated UI-tests, ask them to connect it to Rigi. This way your project gets populated with previews automatically overnight. The previews are dynamic, ready to be used for easy contextual translation and reviewing.
Rigi puts everything you need to get localization work done in one place. Assign translation tasks or review task from your dashboard. Define tasks by adding an entire project or just a few updated strings with previews and assign them to a team member. Review tasks can easily be assigned by adding an email-address of your in-country reviewers. All tasks are done in the Rigi cloud. No additional software is needed.
You decide when the translations are ready to go. With the dynamic contextual previews, and the wide range of key performance indicators in your Rigi Dashboard, there is no doubt whether you’re finished or not. With real time insight of important KPI’s, you can think of coverage reports to check which parts of your application have been captured, or language test reports to evaluate the quality of the process. You only release the translations when yóu are satisfied. Developers generate and deploy the language files without any hassle. DevOps will love you!
