Cloud language resources

Trados Team enables users to create and store their language resources in the cloud. Language resources refer to the repositories used to manage translated content (translation units and terminology).

Language resources are used to leverage previously translated content and to maintain the volume and quality of ongoing translations. Working in the cloud enables users to access language resources in real time and to update them collaboratively.

The cloud language resources offered by Trados Team are:

Translation Memories
These are repositories for your translation units. If you have local translation memories (*.tmx or *.sdltm) or *.sdlxliff files, you can migrate (import) their content (translation units) to the cloud and manage it there.
Termbases or Terminology
These are repositories for your terminology. If you have local termbases created with MultiTerm or local termbases with various extensions (*.xml, *.tbx, *.xlsx, *.csv), you can migrate (import) their content (terms) to the cloud and manage it there.
Machine Translation
These are repositories of content previously translated by neural engines. Trados Team provides native integration with Machine Translation powered by RWS and plug-in integration with Google Machine Translation.
Field Templates
These are rules for organizing your translation memories consistently and accurately.
Language Processing Rules
These are rules for identifying and matching content chunks: dates, times, abbreviations, measurements, hyphened units counted as one word and so on.
Translation Engines
These are translation artefacts which aggregate several language resources as a single unit. A translation engine can have multiple source languages and consists of a language processing rule, one or more translation memories, one or more termbases, one or more Machine Translation engines. If you work with several language resources which go well together, group them under a translation engine, so that you do not select them every time you create a project template or project. You create a translation engine once and you reuse it across several project templates and projects.
