What is a Translation Management System (TMS)?

A translator system supports complex translations and allow enterprises and translation companies to centralize and automate the management of localization workflows involving several collaborators that can work simultaneously without geographical restrictions.

What can I do with a Translation Management System?

Do you run content updates regularly? Are you spending too much time managing multiple files and documents? Are reports and statistics valuable to you? Do you rely on collaborative workflows?

If managed manually, complex translation workflows can be time-consuming and lead to an increased number of errors. With a language translation software, organizations can boost productivity and reduce costs by centralizing linguistic assets, automating processes and monitoring workflows.

1. Where is translation located?

When an organization produces content in multiple languages, linguistic assets need to be properly stored, managed and shared. A TMS enables the consolidation and management of these assets (translation memories, term bases, LiveDocs corpora, etc.) in a single system.

2. Automate processes

Translators and Project Managers carry out repetitive, time-consuming tasks on a daily basis. A TMS enables customized workflows and the automation of tasks that saves valuable time.

3. Monitor workflows

Project tracking is a critical resource to any Project Manager. A TMS provides this through a main dashboard centralizing critical information such as translation progress or missed deadlines.

4. Facilitated collaboration

A TMS provides efficient real-time communication and collaboration for translators and enterprises working on the same project.

What is a Term Base?

A term base or glossary is a database containing single words or expressions related to a specific subject. Terms in term bases are often bilingual or even multilingual. 

How Does it Work?

Term base is an integrated feature in memoQ translator pro, translation software. You may import existing glossaries, and add/update terms as you translate. You can combine several bilingual glossaries into multilingual ones, and mark forbidden terms.

memoQ offers QTerm, professional terminology management system, which is a more advanced system opposed to term base. With QTerm, you can turn your terminology into a corporate asset that facilitates internal and external communication, increases brand awareness, improves the quality of technical communication, and cuts the costs of terminology-related efforts and reduces misunderstandings. 

What Are the Benefits of Using a Term Base?
