A globalization management system (GMS) is a type
of software for automating many parts of the human
language translation process and maximizing translator
efficiency. The ideal of a globalization management system
is to automate all repeatable and non-essential work that
can be done by software/systems and leaving only the creative
work of translation and review to be done by human beings.
A globalization management system generally includes at
least two types of technology: process management technology
to automate the flow of work, and linguistic technology
to aid the translator.
In a typical GMS, process management technology is used
to monitor source language content for changes and route
the content to various translators and reviewers. These
translators and reviewers may be located across the globe
and typically access the GMS via the Internet.
Linguistic technology generally includes at least translation
memory and terminology
database; some systems also integrate machine
translation technology. [1]
Translation
memory is a database of all previously translated sentences.
While a translator performs translation, he or she is automatically
prompted with similar sentences from the memory that were
previously translated. A terminology
database is a glossary that contains specific words and
phrases and their context-appropriate translations. A machine
translation system is a program that uses natural
language processing technology to automatically translate
a text from one language
to another.
Globalization management systems are most commonly used
today for synchronizing multilingual
web sites and translating large volumes of technical
documentation.
