Translation memory

The so-called translation memory stores all translations together with the corresponding source text. altalingua manages and uses customer-specific translation memories. During the translation process, previously translated material is reused. As a result, we increase productivity and reduce costs.

Depending on your process and system requirements, we use different translation memory systems for processing your translation orders.

We work with Across Language Server, Trados Studio, Passolo, STAR Transit NXT, and memoQ, but also with customer-owned or customer-developed systems.

Through the use of translation memory systems, we guarantee:

Consistent translations
Reduced costs
Higher efficiency

You own the translation memories and we provide requested exports to you at any time.
