Abstract:
In the age of cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS), the need for web-based translation management solutions is on the rise. Connecting authoring tools and other Content Management Systems (CMSs) to Translation Management Systems (TMSs) is key to reaching a global audience quickly, effortlessly and efficiently. To this end, new web-based TMSs have been developed to automate the entire information lifecycle and allow cooperation among all stakeholders – from authoring to translation, review and publishing. In this paper we describe the features of a web-based TMSs, identify the contexts in which such a system is required and why, and look at their benefits. To do so, we will describe three different processes which use three different technologies based on varying automation and collaboration needs, from a server-based installation of Transit NXT to a web-based solution such as CLM WebEdit.
