Learn from case studies! Trados/Memsource/MemoQ Translation Support Tools
Problem Solving Seminar

~With a workshop on standardizing translation work and improving productivity~

Will be held.

Based on our experience in improving translation operations for manufacturing and IT companies using translation support tools such as Trados/Memsource/MemoQ, we will share with you the key points to achieve standardization and productivity improvement in translation work.
"Key Points for Achieving Standardization and Productivity Improvement in Translation Work"

Overview

Many companies have introduced translation support tools (CAT tools) such as Trados Studio, Memsource, and MemoQ with the aim of improving translation productivity and reducing translation costs, but it seems that many companies have not achieved the expected results.

- Translating without standards, resulting in non-standardized translation quality within the translation memory

- Translation memory creation and management is left to outsourced translation companies and translators. Not yet assetized.

・The degree of utilization of translation memory and translation support tools varies depending on the person in charge.

・Introduced translation support tools, but not utilizing them at all

Translation support tools are software that allows you to register original and translated texts in a database when translating large amounts of documents.

Suitable for translation of standard expressions and large volumes such as instruction manuals and technical documents.

In this seminar, we will introduce specific points and improvement examples to solve challenges in translation work and translation support tool operation, and achieve results.

In the workshop, we conduct chart-based diagnosis and workflow organization to understand where the challenges lie in the current translation process and consider the direction for future improvement.

If you have already introduced a translation support tool but are not able to use it effectively, or if you are considering introducing a translation support tool, please join us.

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

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

Feel free to join us!
