Trados/Memsource/memoQ Cost-Effectiveness Maximization Translation Support Tool Implementation and Operation Seminar (Free on 2019/8/21)

On August 21, 2019 (Wednesday) at Human Science Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku, Tokyo)

Trados/Memsource/memoQ
Translation Support Tool Implementation and Operation Seminar to Maximize Cost Effectiveness

will be held.

Overview

More and more companies are introducing translation support tools (CAT tools) such as Trados Studio, Memsource, and memoQ to improve translation productivity and reduce translation costs.

One of the challenges in introducing such tools is the cost-effectiveness. For example, do you have any concerns like the ones below?

・Although translation support tools have been introduced, they have not achieved the expected cost and labor reduction effects...

・I cannot decide to implement translation support tools because I do not understand the cost-effectiveness...

In this seminar, we will introduce two effective approaches to maximize the cost-effectiveness of translation support tools.

1. Optimization of the Translation Workflow

▼Recommended for people like this.

・The degree of utilization of translation processes and tools varies by person

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

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

②Standardization of Japanese Documents

▼Recommended for people like this.

・The writing in Japanese is unclear or contains mistakes, which is causing delays in the translation work.

・Due to duplication in the Japanese text, the volume of translation has increased.

・Due to the lack of consistency in terminology and notation in the Japanese text, inconsistencies have also arisen in the translation.

By implementing these approaches, you will be able to effectively realize the greatest benefit of introducing translation support tools, which is the accumulation and reuse of translation memories (past translation assets).

————————————————————————————————————————-

In this seminar, we will introduce the key points of each approach and examples of improvements.

Case Study 1: Industrial Equipment Manufacturer - 20% Reduction in Translation Costs

Optimization of translation workflow for manuals and specifications

Case Study 2: Robot Manufacturer - 50% Reduction in Translation Effort

Standardization of Japanese documents for the translation of user manuals and specifications

If you feel the need to improve translation operations, 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.

*This seminar is expected to overlap approximately 80% with the "Learn from Case Studies! Translation Cost and Labor Reduction Know-How Seminar" held in June 2019, and about 50% with the "Trados/Memsource/memoQ Translation Memory and Glossary Creation Know-How Seminar" held in April 2019. Thank you for your understanding.
