Translation Management System (TMS)

Translation is one of the largest cost factors in preparing technical information products. A translation management system (TMS) can be effective support in reducing lead times and costs.

With a translation management system, you can coordinate and automate all processes for preparing and using translations. A translation management system reduces the management and progress control of the various translation packages for you. It enables cross-departmental execution of translations and allows you to automate the data exchange with translation service providers.

A translation management system ensures that identical text fragments are not sent out for translation repeatedly. This not only increases the consistency of the translations, but also lowers the lead times and resulting costs. Thanks to key data, you can obtain an overview of the ongoing translation activities at any time.


Our procedure:

  • We test your framework for the use of a translation management system and develop a realization scenario which covers your requirements as well as possible.
  • Depending on your product portfolio, your existing information products as well as the number of source and target languages, we develop the optimum process for organizing your translations. In doing so, we utilize key data to allow direct analysis of the achieved savings.
  • We test established systems in view of your requirements or evaluate and design an individual solution where necessary.
  • We bring about the configuration and installation of the target system in your specific application concept.


Advantages for you:

  • You save operative and administrative expenses for the execution of translations and the corresponding quality assurance.
  • The translation management system ensures that text passages which have already been translated are not translated again. For modular documentation preparation and many target languages, this can lead to a significant reduction of translation costs.
  • The time until the documentation is available in all target languages is considerably shortened.
  • You receive full control of scheduling and ongoing translation jobs.
