MAIDENHEAD, England,
April 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- SDL, a leader in global content management, translation and
digital experience, today announced an integration between SDL
Translation Management System (TMS), and the TAUS Dynamic Quality
Framework (DQF), a comprehensive set of tools that help brands
benchmark the quality, productivity and efficiency of translation
projects against industry standards.
The SDL TMS integration with TAUS DQF enables everyone involved
in the translation supply chain – from translators, reviewers and
managers – to improve the performance of their translation projects
by learning from peers and implementing industry best-practice.
Teams can also use TAUS' dynamic tools and models to assess and
compare the quality of their translations output – both human and
machine – with the industry's average for errors, fluency and
post-editing productivity.
This enables brands to maintain quality – at extreme scale – and
eliminate inefficiencies in the way content is created, managed,
translated, and delivered to global audiences.
"One marketing campaign alone could involve translating over 50
pieces of content – and that's just in one language. Imagine the
complexity involved in translating content into over a dozen
languages?" said Jim Saunders, Chief
Product Officer, SDL. "Brands need a robust way to ensure quality
when dealing with such high volumes of content. Our ongoing
integrations with TAUS DQF tackle this challenge by fostering a
knowledge-filled environment that creates improved ways to deliver
and translate content."
"Translating large volumes of content quickly can present
enormous quality issues, and businesses are increasingly looking to
learn from peers – and implement best-practices that challenge
traditional approaches," said TAUS Director, Jaap van der Meer. "Our development teams have
worked closely with SDL to develop an integration that encourages
companies not just to maintain high standards, but innovate and
grow their business."
The TAUS DQF offers a comprehensive set of tools, best
practices, metrics, reports and data to help the industry set
benchmarking standards. Its Quality Dashboard is available as an
industry-shared platform, where evaluation and productivity data is
presented in a flexible reporting environment. SDL TMS, now
integrated within the TAUS DQF, is used by many Fortune 500
companies across most industries.
SDL already provides TAUS-ready packages for enterprise with our
other language solutions. Customers of SDL WorldServer benefit from
a connector to the TAUS DQF platform, enabling project managers to
add and track a project's productivity on the TAUS Quality
Dashboard. Users can access both SDL WorldServer and SDL TMS
through their SDL Trados Studio desktop, making it easy to share
projects with the TAUS platform.
All SDL's integrations with TAUS are designed to help centralize
and manage a brand's translation operations, resulting in lower
translation costs, higher-quality translations and more efficient
translation processes.
