|
| Our state-of-the-art technology platform consists of two main components: |
 |
A translation engine |
|
An integrated translation environment |
|

| Translation Engine |
|
|
|
Our innovative, patent pending translation engine allows one to convert his/her website into multiple languages and maintain it without the usual hassles involved with multilingual websites. Instead of keeping a separate mirror structure for each translated foreign language texts, our technology platform allows a website to maintain only the original structure in its original language, and dynamically reconstructs a page using pre-translated foreign texts on the fly. This innovative technique eliminates all costs in maintaining mirror sites and any synchronization issues associated with traditional methods.
In addition, since the platform runs on a separate application service platform independent of the host website, all that is required to make the host website multilingual is to copy and paste a tiny snippet of HTML code onto the top of a web page. Compare this to the traditional method where web designers are involved and imagine how much IT costs will be saved!

| Integrated Translation Environment |
|
|
|
| Our technology platform has a built-in environment which allows a translator, whether in-house or outsourced, to log in to our platform to perform in-place translation. As translations are being made, the translated texts are automatically inserted into the original web page and are available for instant preview. This is far more straightforward than the traditional 'out-of-band' multi-stage method which typically consists of the following steps: |
|
Web designer captures the texts (including hidden texts if it can be done) into a Word file or HTML codes and then ships the file to a translator. |
|
Translator translates the file and sends it back to the web designer who inserts the HTML codes or individual text strings into the mirror site. |
|
Web designer loads up the newly translated web page, screen captures it and sends it back to the translator for review. |
|
If modifications are required, then repeat the above steps to a smaller subset of pages until there is no more change. |
|
| By comparing the two methods, it is clear that our platform helps cut down turnaround time and improves quality at the same time. In addition, our platform contains the following features which vastly improve translator efficiency and reduce turnaround time: |
|
Easy translation form - translating a page is as simple as clicking a link, and completing the translation form. |
|
Instant preview - provides instant feedback on what the translated page looks like, in case there are spacing, formatting or text alignment issues. |
|
Translation memory - our translation platform stores all previous translations by the translator and retrieves them automatically so it does not have to be done again. |
|
Optional translation - our platform automatically provides you with a sophisticated machine translation of your web pages that a translator can use as a first pass to be modified. For those who absolutely cannot afford to hire a translator, they could make do with such first pass translations. |
|
Notification - You or your translator will be automatically notified when changes are made to either the source documents or translations, so you can keep your translations in sync with the originals. |
|
Integrated approval workflow - allows for an assigned approver to review and approve the translated texts before they are published. |
