TRANSLATION MEMORY & GLOSSARY

Translation Memory (TM) is a database of previously translated sentences that can be automatically recalled on a new translation project. TM supports our translation processes by significantly improving the consistency and efficiency of our projects, which leads to increased translation quality and decreased costs for our clients.

Termbase is a database of terminology and its corresponding translation. It allows us to create custom glossaries that are specific to your projects. If you have preferred translations of key terminologies or already have a glossary that you would like to use, we can use Termbase to help you apply them consistently to all your translation projects.

WORKFLOW & QUALITY ASSURANCE

At CTS, we have developed customised workflows to streamline our projects and ensure consistent quality in all our translations. The first step of our workflow is to review your document and understand your requirements. Next, we assign the project to a qualified translator, or team of translators, with proven expertise in the relevant subject matter.

Once the initial translation has been completed, a second linguist will proofread and edit the translations using QA tools to check for mistranslations, grammatical errors, typos, consistency issues, and other common errors. The final steps involve Desktop Publishing and final proofreading before it is delivered to the customer for feedback.
