Interface to TM systems and termbases

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:
