The most important characteristic of a typical technical translation project is that the text to be translated is linked to a product or service, whereas a text in a literary translation project typically stands alone. The fact that there is a strong connection between the source text and a product or service has many implications. First of all, consistency within and across documents and versions is of the utmost importance across the entire spectrum of technical translation projects. How do you make sure that multiple translators working on multiple text types within a large project, e.g. GUI, software strings, online …

Cloud-Based Translation Memory Tools Are Changing The Way Translators Work And Train, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Cloud-based translation memory systems have been available for more than a decade. Based on recent translation tools surveys and anecdotal evidence, the vast majority of translators continues to use desktop translation software. Despite the fact that cloud-based translation systems offer many advantages over traditional desktop products, including support for multiple linguists working on the same document at the same time and, due to the subscription business model, the need for a dramatically lower initial investment.

Faster Translation, Anyone? Strategies For Reducing Translation Turnaround Time, Uwe Muegge
Faster Translation, Anyone? Strategies For Reducing Translation Turnaround Time, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Anyone who has worked long enough on the service provider side of the translation business knows that translation buyers typically only have two types of translation projects: the ones that are urgent and the ones that were due yesterday. As most commercial translation projects are closely linked to the effort of selling a product or service in international markets, the time required for translation can mean lost revenue due to the inability to generate sales in a given market. While many in our industry consider lengthy turnaround times for high-quality human translation a given, there are, in fact, many steps …
Ten Things You Should Know About Automatic Terminology Extraction (Part Ii), Uwe Muegge
Ten Things You Should Know About Automatic Terminology Extraction (Part Ii), Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
It is probably safe to say that many, if not most, commercial translation and localization projects today are carried out without a comprehensive, project-specific, up-to-date glossary in place. I suspect that one of the primary reasons for this inefficient state of affairs is the fact that many participants involved in these projects are not familiar with the tools and processes that enable linguists to create monolingual and multilingual glossaries quickly and efficiently. Below are five valuable insights for linguists who wish to give automatic terminology extraction a/nother try.

Teaching Computer-Assisted Translation Goes Mobile, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
The teaching environment that the author is proposing not only accommodates the needs of a new breed of translation student that expects access to teaching materials from their preferred computing platform (be it a Win/Mac laptop or a tablet computer) from wherever they are, around the clock, but also dramatically lowers the cost of offering a CAT course for the educational institution.
