Best Translation Management Platforms for Your Projects

Whether you are working on a high-volume project or handling multiple small localization projects, manually coordinating numerous remote linguists and contributors from different timezones can be overwhelming sometimes. In such cases, the application of translation management platforms can make your job much easier. No more endless emails back and forth or manual spreadsheets. You and your team can work and collaborate on one single platform.

So what exactly is a translation management platform and how it can help your project run more efficiently? And more importantly, which translation management platform should you use? You will find all the answers in our today’s post.

What is Translation Management Platform?

Translation management platform is a system designed to manage language assets and support the process and management of a translation and localization project. It helps translators or language service providers organize their workflow, track the progress of a project, and allow all parties (including clients) to collaborate and communicate together in one single place. Manual tasks such as sending email threads, instructions, and feedback back and forth are minimized and done automatically via translation management systems.

Initially, translation management platforms were designed with simple computer-assisted tools to serve translators. Today, however, various features are added to such platforms, enabling the entire localization team (including linguists, developers, designers, project managers, localization managers, and content managers) to collaborate effectively and smoothly.

In general, most translation management platforms integrate three important components:

• Computer-assisted Translation Tools (CAT) – The benefits that CAT Tools bring to a translation and localization project are undeniable. Specialist translation management platform covers all important functions of a CAT Tool, including translation memory, translation glossary, quality assurance, and automated translation suggestions (machine translation).
• Workflow Automation Tools – These tools benefit you by minimizing manual tasks while integrating various systems into your existing tech stack. Some notable features include live editing, in-context editors for instant previews, APIs, integrations with design tools, code repositories, CMS tools, etc.
• Team Management and Reporting – Translation management platforms give your team all the collaborative features you need, from tasks and status management, comments, chats, and other integrations with your project management tools like Trello or Jira. Translation management platforms incorporate chat APIs for efficient team communication and collaboration alongside essential features like task management and status tracking.Keeping track of the translation progress and performance is also easier than ever. Depending on the platform you use, you can see the analytics of different aspects of your project. For example, team level (where you monitor how many projects are there and how quickly a project is completed), project level (where you see how many members are involved and the project progression), and translation level (where you can check the number of words, TM leverage, etc.).
• Other Supporting Features – Translation management platforms partner up with many language service providers. You can go to the vendor page or marketplace to select a suitable translation agency for your projects. These platforms also provide machine translation solutions such as DeepL or Google Translate. Another feature that is worth mentioning is the support you can receive not only from your translation partners but also from the team of the translation management platform you use.
