crossGrid Collaboration Tool:
Smooth Collaboration with Translation Service Providers
Summary
If you are directly linked with your translation service providers instead of hiring them by email, then
- You ensure lean processes and consistent data
- Your valuable language resources are directly available to you at all times
- You retain an overview of the progress and expenses incurred.
Many companies outsource some or all of their translation work to external service providers. Often the commissioning of the order and the exchange of content occur via email - a process that has many serious disadvantages. These include additional work and inconsistency, insufficient flexibility, and lack of transparency.
The use of Across technology guarantees a continuous process and maximum efficiency, even when you outsource the actual translation.
Freelance translators are directly linked as clients, and translation agencies are directly linked, server-to-server, with your Across installation. The content to be translated is seamlessly extracted from the original systems and reinserted back in them without any media disruptions.
Every translator works from a uniform translation memory and from a uniform terminology database. And the new translation memory and terminology entries produced with each translation flow as valuable resources directly back into the central data repository.
You establish which workflows are to be performed and which quality assurance criteria are to be observed. You are always on top of who is supposed to be doing which translation by which deadline. And at the end of each job, you know precisely what expenses were incurred for it, for example from the ratio of existing translations that could be reused.
In this way, even with total outsourcing you are still in charge of the process and still retain control over your translation memory and terminology system. Last but not least, this opens up the possibility of reusing these valuable resources, for example for translation-oriented authoring or for a company-wide terminology portal.
