Interface to TM systems and termbases
SDL Passolo offers interfaces to TM systems and termbases from different software makers, which are generally used when the documentation of a software product is translated.
These interfaces enable improved consistency in the use of terminology between the software and the documentation and increased re-use of translated segments both in the software and the documentation. Depending on the functions supported by these systems, the interfaces provide the following functions:
- Automatic translation of translation lists using external translation memories
- Display of a list of fuzzy matches from the TM system during interactive translation and insertion of a selected translation
- Concordance search in the external TM system from within Passolo
- Highlighting of terminology found in the external termbase in the Passolo user interface
- Direct insertion of translated terms from the termbase
- Option of opening the termbase to display further information about a term
- Option of saving translated terms to the termbase from within Passolo
- Export of translated terms to files that can be processed in the termbase
- Export of translated segments to files that can be processed in the TM system
- Export of untranslated segments to XML files that can be translated using the TM system.
Optional add-ins are offered for the following TM systems:
- Older Trados and MultiTerm versions
- Interface to SDL Trados and SDL MultiTerm
