Collaboration for small and medium localization teams

With SDL Studio GroupShare, your translation team can organize themselves to work simultaneously with their peers, sharing and translating projects, while benefiting from shared translation memory and terminology.

Enabling complete project collaboration, now all of your translators and reviewers can access centrally shared project assets from any location without the need for the project manager to distribute every file. Through SDL Trados Studio 2011, files can be checked in and out by the individual team members, reducing the administration involved in managing projects while keeping it as simple as possible for team members.

As a modular solution SDL Studio GroupShare grows with your team and provides 3 key capabilities:
  • Shared translation memories – all team members can easily look-up, and update a centralized translation memory and access it from any location to increase translation re-use, consistency and quality.
  • Centralized terminology – users can consistently maintain brand and industry terms throughout multiple documents and languages and share termbases with colleagues.
  • Project collaboration – translators and project managers can easily access and distribute projects and can easily monitor progress
SDL Studio GroupShare is the only platform that combines complete terminology management, maximum re-use of translation memories and enables translation project sharing and collaboration for teams using the market leading SDL Trados Studio.

Benefits

  • Overall translation quality improves – through the use of centralized and shared translation memory and terminology that all team members can access quickly and easily.
  • Faster project turnaround – everyone can access the projects at any time avoiding costly time delays that can be caused by individuals working in different time zones.
  • Reduces overall project costs – by reducing project management activity necessary to distribute files.
  • Every team member is aware of progress – real time completion status is always available within the shared project environment.
  • Skills are used in the most effective way – team members can choose which files to work on.
  • Streamlined project set up – less manual steps to create and start a project.

Projects

Easy Project Management with SDL Studio GroupShare Projects

Now project managers can focus on actively managing projects to ensure timely delivery.

Project Managers will find they can do far more in less time with GroupShare. The administration of setting up, monitoring and managing people and resources is dramatically reduced when teams can self-manage. Rather than organizing files, chasing progress updates and creating progress reports, they just need to make sure everything is accessible centrally. GroupShare does the hard work of monitoring progress and provides instant access to progress completion statistics.

With GroupShare Projects it is easy to distribute and manage all resources while keeping up to date with progress. Project Managers using SDL Trados Studio 2011 publish the translation project files, instead of manually distributing, collecting and chasing files by email and telephone. As translators and reviewers work, SDL Studio GroupShare will continually monitor and display progress while synchronizing translation files.

Terminology

Complete Terminology Management with SDL Studio GroupShare Terminology

Increase quality as the whole team can use the correct corporate language.

Product names, search engine keywords, technical references and legal terms are all examples of terminology that must be kept consistent throughout all customer communications, all markets and in all languages. They are key to building a strong, competitive brand and ensure maximum customer satisfaction. SDL Studio GroupShare Terminology provides one central location to store and manage multilingual terminology.

By providing access to all those involved in applying terminology, such as writers, engineers, marketers, translators and terminologists, GroupShare Terminology ensures consistent and high-quality content from source through to translation. This avoids the need to share terminology via e-mail with other content creators in different departments, or with other translators, in the form of spreadsheets which can be impossible to manage.

Based on the reliable and proven SDL MultiTerm technology, everyone can access the terms relevant to them, from one central location, thanks to GroupShare Terminology. Client/server and web technology allows access to terminology at any time, ensuring that the most up-to-date terms, are available from anywhere in the world.

GroupShare Terminology integration with SDL Trados Studio significantly optimizes the translation process with real-time verification of multilingual terminology. Translators can automatically apply,  edit or add terminology in one familiar environment. This helps improve the efficiency of the translation process and promotes high-quality translated content.

Translation Memory

Scalable Translation Memory Management with SDL Studio GroupShare Translation Memory

Deliver maximum re-use and cost savings for your translation team.

SDL Studio GroupShare Translation Memory (TM) is the scalable foundation for any translation environment, providing the ability to share translation memories in a flexible and intelligent way to all parties in the translation supply chain. With exponential, fast growth of translation memories, centralizing assets and collaborative working are the only ways to drive faster localization while reducing overall costs.

With GroupShare TM translators using SDL Trados Studio connect to server-based translation memories to leverage translations in real-time. They can also choose to work offline using the latest translation memories available. SDL Studio GroupShare TM is a powerful server that enables high performance translation logistics and throughput rates. Designed to support growth from small numbers to hundreds of translation memories, this high performance translation environment delivers TM transaction speeds not possible with a desktop-only environment.

With a seamless upgrade path from existing SDL systems, the upgrade wizard easily converts both file and server-based TMs. TM field settings are centralized meaning it is simple to apply new fields and resources to TMs in one go.
