Reducing your Translation Costs
Alchemy PUBLISHER is an advanced translation memory solution that
enables organisations to accelerate the translation of global
content by leveraging previously translated materials. This will
dramatically reduce the cost of translation, accelerate the delivery
of localised content to overseas markets, and maintain quality and
consistency across an organisation's content.
Faster Time to Market
High-quality translation of content is crucial to the success of
multi-national companies. As many organisations increase the
availability of their product and services to meet the demands of
overseas markets, they require dependable translation solutions that
will lower overall costs, reduce time-to-market and improve quality.
Advanced Translation Memory
Alchemy PUBLISHER stores previously translated content in a single
multi-lingual translation memory which allows an organisation to
easily access and leverage this content for all future translation
projects.
When new content is presented for translation, Alchemy PUBLISHER
swiftly analyses it against information already stored within the
translation memory. Any content that has already been previously
translated is re-used - instantly reducing the amount of new
material translators need to work on.
Improving Quality
Using translation memory in a translation project improves
consistency and accuracy of localised content. It enhances customer
experience, increases customer satisfaction and ultimately creates
additional revenue opportunities from international markets.
