The Lingotek Community Translation Platform harnesses the power of crowd-sourcing and enables companies to engage their customers, partners and extended community to form online translation communities. The platform allows companies to distribute content in a controlled and secure way, simplifying the process of posting, tracking and completing translation projects. Lingotek's proprietary web-based software, brings machine translation, translation memories, and terminology management together with a social network. The result is a unique platform for translating information into hundreds of languages at a minimal cost.

6. Cost Benefit Breakpoint
6
Let’s say you’re paying $1,500/mo. for 10 concurrent
users on Lingotek, your average cost per word is
$0.21, average document size is 500 words and you do
1000 docs/year.
$1,500 * 12 = $18,000
$18,000/$0.21 =~ 85,714 words
85,714/500 =~ 171 documents
If your crowd can translate 171 documents in 52 weeks
you break even with aligned translation memory as a
take-home bonus.
Any more crowd output beyond than that is pure cost
savings.

Terminology Management
 If you want a word translated the same way every time, as with
slogans, trademarks and so forth, you use terminology management. A
dictionary is provided for each target language and the translator
adheres closely to this throughout the project.
Machine Translation (MT)
 Whether the method is example-based, statistical or rule-based, the
goal is to have automated translation that is as close as possible to
human quality. Some workflows include authoring guides for content
writers to improve accuracy and post-MT review in place of the human
translation stage.
Translation Memory (TM)
 Creating TM means storing up sentences that mean the same thing in a
pair of languages. This can be done while you're translating or after the
fact by aligning the source and product from previous translation work.
Using TM is matching whole or partial sentences on a new translation
job to benefit from the stored information.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
 Reduce the amount you need to translate by eliminating duplicate
work.
 Reuse appropriate terminology easily through referring to other work
done by you and anyone else who populates your TM storage vault or
customized dictionary.
 Recycle exact matches automatically by using software to analyze the
document for matches in the TM before beginning the translation
work.

16. MT Retrain Interface

 Machine Translation (MT) becomes
more accurate through training
 Before using an MT engine, companies
often feed it a large body of translated
text to train it on their genre of content
 Retraining is submitting back human
translation to teach the MT engine on
an ongoing basis
