Translation Memory Administration Overview

This section provides a reference guide for understanding and configuring the WorldServer TM.

The WorldServer Translation Memory (TM) provides customers the ability to leverage earlier translation efforts. This results in minimizing costs associated with translating new and modified content. The WorldServer TM technology has undergone enhancements geared at optimizing historical translation content for reuse in current translation efforts. SDL has employed technological advancements, such as the segment repair options, and split/merge technology, yielding substantial savings for WorldServer customers. WorldServer has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to bolster leverage of third-party data that has been migrated into the WorldServer environment.

The WorldServer TM exposes many controls and options, each of which affects the overall system in varying ways. The ability to use these technologies effectively requires you to understand both the WorldServer TM technology and the administration options. Some controls affect performance and quality, some affect leverage, and others affect other operations. Understanding each option and its impact helps you tune the WorldServer TM to meet your needs and requirements.
