Benefits of WorldServer
Quality content for end users

company doing business globally, not a foreigncompany trying to extend their reach into remotemarkets. WorldServer ensures every form of content
has the highest quality translation, and all translations
are sent through predefined review cycles.
Greatly reduced cost
WorldServer automatically identifies what content haschanged and what has previously been approved fortranslations. Only new content is sent out for direct
human translation. The cost of translations can bereduced by as much as 40% and the overall cost of
the translation program can be reduced by as muchas 80%.
Decreased administrative burden
Processes that formerly required dozens of tasks
are reduced to a few human steps with WorldServer
managing the routing, storage and communications
between program participants.
Ability to scale
Best practices and workflows are enforced byWorldServer’s scalable workflow function. Provenprocesses can be extended to a new language orcontent type with modest, incremental effort.

WorldServer translation capabilities
Translation memory

Workflow customization

WorldServer features Translation Memory(TM), a database of all previously translated
content. Any new request for documenttranslation is passed through the TM
database to segment content and identify
that which already has approved versions in
the target language. For content where there
is no exact translation, TM will offer similar or“fuzzy” local content to make the translator’s
job faster and easier. This also ensuresconsistency of translations across markets
and document versions while reducing thevolume and price of translation services.

Work the way you want: Core toWorldServer is a workflow-based process
automation engine that drives all translation
project activities. You can easily configure theworkflow so that, for example the process
for translating marketing material is different
from that for translating very technicaldocumentation. Unique partners can be
designated as the approved translators orreviewers to ensure that subject matter
experts control the final quality of theircontent. In addition comments, question andnotifications of project related issues can be
attached to any content to improve the quality
as it moves through the localization supplychain.

Terminology management
Terminology management is an organizedrecord of controlled words and phrases
combined with their standard or mandated
translations. This database allows you tomanage commonly used words as well as
slogans or corporate phrases that must betranslated in a particular way (for example,
a company tag line, and product or featurename). This eliminates subtle translation
changes from being introduced and maintains
the quality and consistency of local language
content with that of the source material.
