Centralised translation memory
Our translation memory technology captures every approved translation and makes it available for future projects. When similar content appears the system automatically suggests previous translations ensuring consistency and reducing costs.
Translation memory works across all file formats and content types. Whether translating websites, documentation or marketing materials the system maintains consistency by reusing approved translations. This saves companies with repetitive content a lot of money.
Advanced quality assurance
XTM has built-in quality checks that detect errors before they reach human reviewers. The system automatically detects spelling mistakes, numerical discrepancies, terminology violations and formatting issues. This automated screening allows human reviewers to focus on cultural appropriateness and creative adaptation.
Quality rules can be customised for different content types and clients. Medical device companies can enforce strict terminology compliance, marketing teams can focus on brand voice consistency. This flexibility ensures quality standards match business requirements.
Real-time collaboration
Multiple team members can work on the same project at the same time without conflicts. XTM’s collaboration tools include commenting systems, real-time chat and progress tracking. This keeps everyone informed and aligned throughout the translation process.
Role-based permissions ensure sensitive content remains secure while enabling efficient collaboration. Project managers can monitor progress, translators can access relevant resources and reviewers can provide feedback directly within the platform.
Automated workflow
XTM automates the entire translation process from content ingestion to final delivery. Projects flow automatically through predefined stages with tasks assigned to team members based on expertise and availability. This eliminates manual coordination and reduces project management overhead.
Smart routing ensures content gets to the right linguists at the right time. The system considers factors like subject matter expertise, language pairs and current workload when making assignments. This optimisation reduces turnaround times while maintaining quality standards.
