Automated translation workflows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make the most out of Phrase with our many out-of-the-box integrations to automate workflows. Our integrations can monitor a specific folder, e.g. in Google Drive. As soon as a new file is added there, the integration triggers the translation process. The finished translation is then synced back to your Google Drive folder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Translation memory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phrase TMS identifies 101% translation memory matches. This means that not only the copy is matching exactly, but also that previous and subsequent segments match. 101% matches can be marked as completed automatically, so that translators don\u2019t spend time on them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here to field your questions on document translation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

<\/span>Are repetitions in one document populated immediately?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Yes, the translation memory in Phrase TMS works in real-time. This means that repetitions will be populated automatically as soon a segment is set to completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/span>Is there an in-context preview for document translation?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Phrase TMS provides an in-context preview for most document file formats, making it easy for translators to translate accurately. Seeing a preview of the entire document also enables linguists to do transcreation instead of translation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/span>How can I handle specialized translation for certain domains?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

In Phrase TMS, it\u2019s easy to set up automated workflows for specialized translation. You can create project templates with customized workflow steps and assigned translation providers. That way, you can ensure that legal translations, for example, are always translated by a preselected, certified provider and undergo additional review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
