On April 17, 2019 (Wednesday) at Human Science Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku, Tokyo)

Learn from Case Studies! Trados/Memsource/memoQ Translation Memory and Glossary Creation Know-How Seminar

will be held.

We will share the key to improving the QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) of translations by utilizing translation support tools such as Trados Studio, Memsource, and memoQ, which is "Know-how for Creating and Maintaining Translation Memories and Glossaries"!

Overview

Many companies have introduced translation support tools (CAT tools) such as Trados Studio, Memsource, and memoQ to improve translation productivity and reduce translation costs, but it seems that they have not achieved the expected results.

One of the challenges in the operation of translation support tools in such companies is the point that "translation memories and glossaries are not being utilized effectively".

For example, do you have any concerns like the following?

・Different expressions are mixed within the translation memory, so the translated text cannot be reused as is.

・The creation and management of translation memories are left to translation companies and translators, and they are not being capitalized as assets.

・I feel that the translation quality varies depending on the manuals and documents.

・There are no specific rules or standards for translation, and each translator or translation company translates according to their own policies.

There is a glossary, but it is not very useful because various terms are mixed together.

If translation memories and glossaries are not properly managed and utilized, the greatest benefit of introducing translation support tools, which is the accumulation and reuse of past translation assets, cannot be realized, resulting in a waste of valuable resources.

In this seminar, we will introduce the approach and specific points for creating and maintaining translation memories and glossaries based on two case studies from industrial equipment manufacturers and universities.

Why not take this opportunity to review the contents, management, and operational rules of your translation memory and glossary?

This content will be helpful for those who want to introduce translation support tools. If you are considering specific actions to improve translation memory and glossaries, please join us.

After the seminar, we will provide individual consultations as needed.

Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.

Feel free to join us!
