The Online Translation Management System (ONTRAM) is an integrated Web application that provides services for essential TMS functions, including process automation, application integration, user management, content pre- and post-processing, content re-use, and translation interfaces. The goal of the system is to reduce as much as possible the amount of manual input required during the localization production process – for software, print, web and any supported content type.
ONTRAM is the ideal solution for the translation of InDesign catalogues, MS Office documents and XML files coming from web content management systems and PIM. Key features are:
- Centralized, system-wide Translation Memory
- Flexible and scalable workflows
- Automated business processes
- Intuitive and comprehensive online editor
- Integrated scheduling module
- Preview functionality
- Review system filter for almost all file formats, including the direct processing of Indesign and many more innovative functionalities
Process Flow
Source content is uploaded into the system and is pre-processed for translation, the structure of a file being separated from the translatable content.
Whatever is translatable is then sent through workflow to be translated, edited, reviewed, etc., either via a web-based editor or offline in the linguist‘s tool of choice. Users can get a dynamic preview of the content as they work, depending on file type.
Once the workflow is complete, ONTRAM produces final target language versions of the content which can be downloaded or delivered to an integrated file system or application.
ONTRAM is a fully web-accessible application, supporting a wide range of browsers on different operating systems. No additional plug-ins or add-ons are required, which simplifies deployment and update management, as users have nothing to install.
