Translation Module
The
translation module consists of several application packages written
for the special needs of translation agencies:
- Translation Workflow:
An Internet translation workflow
that replaces email communication with translators, editors and
freelancers
- Trados Integration:
Integration with Trados 5.0, 6.0 and 6.5 in order to import wordcounts.
These imported wordcounts are used in the Translation Worfkflow
to calculate translators workload and in Translation Invoicing
to create invoices. Other Translation Memories can be supported
when required.
- Internet Filestorage:
Allows to access all project files according to users access permissions
- Freelance Skill
Database:
A database of freelancers together with their skills. This database
is integrated into the project management module in order to assign
freelancers to projects, according to their skills.
- Translation Quality:
Allows to evaluate the translation results of freelancers and
supplier companies using modified Lisa Quality Sheets.
-
Translation Purchase Orders
:
Is a module that sends freelancers automatically purchase orders
for the projects they have been assigned to
- Translation Invoicing:
Allows to create semiautomatically invoices to customers. The
module supports multilingual invoice templates and allows to invoice
several projects in a single document.
- Translation Marketplace:
Allows you to "invite" freelancers and providers to
take part in a project, replacing the usual telephone inquiries.
The invited providers can confirm their availablity by Internet,
saving a large part of project managers usual tasks. The invitation
functionality uses the information of the Freelance
Skill Database to select only appropriate resources.
