Translating large volumes of text can cost a lot of money; but it needn't cost the earth! Using the latest translation memory software and our own optimised workflow processes, Lingo24 can reduce your translation costs and improve consistency at the same time. Our translation memory is called XTM, and here's what it offers you:

Lower Translation Costs: XTM identifies more matches than other TM software thanks to:

  • Perfect Matching - where an unchanged text unit appears in the same place in a revised source document, it is not translated nor needs to be proofread.
  • Leveraged Matching - XTM offers both within document matching and translation memory database matching.
  • Improved Fuzzy Matching by using linguistic stemming.

But XTM offers you more than just lower translation costs - here are some further benefits:

  • Reduced Translation Requirement - possible when you set up a Controlled Authoring Environment.
  • Lower Administrative Cost - many of the steps in the translation process are automated.
  • You control the word count - the industry standard calculation of word counts enables you to know exactly how much your translation will cost in advance.
  • Relay translation fully supported - once you have translated your text into one language, this target language can easily be used as the source language for another translation. This feature will save you even more money if you source text is being written in more than one language.

We can integrate XTM or the Lingo24 workflow management system with your company's systems to give you the most cost-effective, seamless translation functionality available today. Alternatively, you can use the effectiveness of our systems simply by using Lingo24's translation service.
