Translation memory

Depending on the suitability of the material, we can use translation memory software.

Atlas Translations have provided a variety of services for Alzheimer’s Society, including the translation of our flagship information resource ‘Worried about your memory?’ into a variety of different languages. The service we have received is consistently to high standard, with staff going beyond the call of duty to fulfil our requirements. I will definitely be using this translation agency again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for top quality translation services.

You have been such a help and we can’t thank you enough. We’re getting an amazing response. It is quite a challenge, but we wouldn’t be making our deadlines without your translation agency’s assistance. Many many thanks.

Atlas completed the work within our time frame and the proofreading service gave us the extra peace of mind that the translations were accurate and of quality.

It’s tough when you have to rely on a translation agency and trust that the translations are correct but with Atlas, we can rest assured that the language, tone, and style of translation is suitable for our audiences.

We are always very impressed with the quality and timeliness of the translation services provided by Atlas translation agency. The team are extremely helpful and we look forward to working together more in the future.

Atlas provided us with a high quality, professional, courteous and competitively priced service, with a minimum of fuss. I was pleased with the translation agency’s communications and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Translation memory is a tool enabling our human translators to to create a linguistic database (memory) during the process of professional translation. So, if the same or similar source text is encountered in the future, our translators have previously translated phrases at their fingertips. This ensures consistency in the use of terms, increased productivity and cost savings.

We can work with SDL Trados, MemoQ, and other software on request.

Using translation memory software is particularly effective for:

Large multilingual projects when a team of translators will be involved
Websites that need to be regularly updated
Monthly journals, corporate advertising literature, technical manuals etc
Technical translation.

In other words, whenever there is a large volume of words, the potential for repeated terms or technical phrases, and where there is the risk of inconsistencies. Using translation memory software results in tangible qualitative and financial benefits, including:

Increased productivity from the translators, and therefore faster turnaround
Consistency in language and terminology
Avoiding paying again and again for the translation of repeated text.

Translation memory is not suitable for every project. Translation memory software will not do a grammatical analysis, and sometimes the “matches” that it produces do not work in the context of the document. Occasionally, when a word means more than one thing in a language, the translation memory may choose the wrong option. Translation memory software does not, and can not, replace the role and skills of a fully qualified, live translator. Under the guidance of one of our experienced project managers, however, the translator and software can work together as a very effective team delivering high quality, consistent results, quickly.
