Translation Memory

When working with technical documents you can also train software to handle large sections of text for future translations. Translation memory is the tool of choice for translating technical documentation and documents containing specialized vocabularies. Translation memories work best on texts which are highly repetitive, such as technical manuals. They are also helpful for translating incremental changes in a previously translated document, corresponding, for example, to minor changes in a new version of a user manual. With Systran Premium version the Translation memory can store up to 40,000 entries and supports the TMX file format.

Normalization Dictionary

There are two Normalization Dictionaries in the Systran Professional Premium, a source and a target. This advanced tool allows you to control the translation of specific words before translation in the original document or you can choose to control the translation of specific words after it has been translated.

Keeping technical translations consistent can be also be helpful when two or more people are working on the same project.
