Translation Oriented Authoring

The most effective way to save time and money on content creation is via Translation oriented authoring (TOA). This process involves tapping into the translation memory Argo maintains for your company.

Argo can provide you with direct access to authoring tools for Word, FrameMaker, XMetal, Epic and InDesign. The system allows you as the author to see sentence suggestions in real time as you are authoring your document.

The process guides the author to use text that was previously used in conjunction with the translation memory.

This process generates three key advantages over traditional authoring environments.

• Lower cost of translation;
       Maximizes 100% matches to translation provider translation memory

• Faster time to market;
       Less new content for translation, leads to faster translation timeline
       Increased efficiency in content creation via suggestions from authoring system
• Greater consistency across documents;
       Regulatory issues
       Use previously approved text vs. potential rewrites
       Improve customer service efforts by creating more consistent documentation
