Technical Translation with XTM Cloud
Without the right technology and tools, technical linguists can face considerable challenges that jeopardize accuracy, consistency, quality, and cost-efficiency in the content they work on. The use of the right terminology and tone, ensuring that it fits into the UI properly, and bottlenecks due to offline communication are all obstacles that are commonplace in technical translations and seriously impact the quality of the content and a company’s goals.
With a Translation Management System (TMS), technical linguists are empowered to translate and localize technical content, ensuring its accuracy and quality and removing any unnecessary delays that can be costly down the line. With the right technology, you can ensure that your technical documentation is always translated accurately and on time in all your languages.
Benefits of a TMS in Technical Translation
XTM Cloud For Technical Translation
- Term Bases and Glossaries
XTM Cloud offers these essential tools for precise technical translation and localization. Term bases ensure consistent terminology, and glossaries clarify industry-specific jargon and keywords, which are key in eliminating errors, boosting accuracy, and streamlining the translation process, while also giving you full control over your language assets to update them when needed.
- Translation Memories and Customizable QA Profiles
TMs in XTM Cloud allow the reuse of existing translated content for enhanced consistency and speed. Its customizable QA checks allow for tailored quality checks to match specific project requirements. This flexibility optimizes translation quality, maintains brand consistency, and ensures specific standards are met.
- Query Management Module (QMM)
XTM Cloud’s QMM streamlines project communication among all project stakeholders by leveraging the chat functionality where they can all communicate in real-time, removing the need for offline communication which often ends up causing bottlenecks and delays.
- AI-powered Auto-inserted Inline Tags
Gone are the days when placing inline tags in a translation took longer than the translation itself. XTM Cloud’s AI features automatically recognize and place these tags in the right place in the translation with 98% effectiveness, allowing translators to focus on what really matters.
- DITA Integrations
XTM Cloud’s connector supports DITA structured content standard for XML files, removing the need to upload multiple small files and therefore enhancing organizational efficiency and translation speed.
