How to save in translations and in new translation tools?

In a globalized market, it is even more important to present your products in various language versions. It is also necessary to have both technical and commercial documentation ready and available in several languages. Each translation project, however, has a cost that is not always quantifiable and verifiable.

Often, translations are usually out-sourced, and therefore historical translation memories do not remain as company know-how. It would be therefore important to create and manage internally a specific phrasebook that can be updated and used at any time and that can easily be consulted by the company itself.

The outsourcing of translation is not time effective. It takes various steps between those who have to do the translations and those who check them and transcribe them, with a very high probability of mistake.

All this waste of time and resources will be repeated whenever new updates are needed. The previous translations will be only partially re-used or could even be completely inadequate to new needs, frustrating all the work done.

Consequently you can have many translations, but often not consistent.

We must not forget that the various way of communication (website, catalogs and other) are not updated at the same time. There may be inconsistencies between the data of the products, with consequent inconvenience for the user.

It is really important for the business budget  to have a management system in order to simplify and avoid all this waste. At last also the translations will find their “location” and will finally become part of the company’s assets.

The advantages of this organization are:

• easy updating of translations;
• opportunity to reorganize translations of product information;
• opportunity to use an automated system for the generation of instruments in the language that guarantees the correctness of the data and timing of implementation;
• possibility to update multiple communication tools at the same time.
