Professional translation software and software partners

The use of professional translation software is essential in translation management today. Translation software offers many advantages that can significantly improve the translation process. Increased efficiency, improved consistency in translation, and effective management of terminology databases are just a few of the key benefits of translation software. Together, seamless teamwork and effective quality assurance help ensure high-quality end products.

Our tools and systems at a glance

At KERN, we focus on variety and quality when selecting translation software and work with leading software partners.

MemoQ: Flexible and powerful for customized translation projects

MemoQ is a professional translation software used by translators and translation agencies worldwide. MemoQ is based on translation memory technology and a central database known as a translation memory. Previously translated content is stored here and can be reused in future projects.

When analyzing a new text, the MemoQ CAT tool accesses the translation memory and automatically suggests translations that can be accepted or adapted. It also offers quality assurance features such as spell checking, style checks, and consistency verification. This ensures a consistent and efficient translation process.

Consistent terminology can also be maintained across multiple projects in MemoQ. Terminology lists can be imported, managed, and consulted throughout the translation process. This helps avoid errors and improves translation quality.

MemoQ also offers extensive collaboration features for translators, project managers, and customers. Multiple users can work on a project simultaneously, track changes, and add comments. This significantly facilitates communication and coordination in complex translation projects.

The tool supports many file formats, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe InDesign, HTML, and XML, and can also handle additional formats. Seamless integration allows files to be loaded directly into the MemoQ system. They can then be translated and stored without requiring additional conversion steps.

Efficient translation management with Across Systems GmbH

Across Systems GmbH is the developer of the Across Language Server, a central software platform for managing language resources and translation processes in organizations. This platform significantly simplifies, accelerates, and improves the control, coordination, and execution of translations.

It includes a translation memory and terminology database, as well as powerful tools for project management and workflow control. In addition, Across enables end-to-end processes in which clients, agencies, and translators can collaborate seamlessly.

A key feature of Across is the integration and automation of the entire translation process, from order placement and delivery of translated content to updating translation memories in multiple languages. This closed system architecture ensures the controlled distribution of work packages to all parties involved, preventing unauthorized external access and data manipulation. In addition, file downloads and the use of machine translation can be regulated through server configuration.

All project-related functions are integrated into a single user interface in Across. These include manual file analysis, dividing projects into packages for different workflow steps and languages, updating translation memories, and capturing data for performance-based billing. As a central platform, the Across Language Server therefore forms the backbone of efficient and effective translation management.

Transit: Reliable solutions for complex translation projects

The translation software Transit provides a comprehensive solution for the translation and localization of complex projects. Like other CAT tools, it uses translation memory technology to accelerate the translation process.

The software includes features such as intelligent segmentation, terminology management, and automated translation suggestions. This enables high productivity and improves translation quality. The continuous reuse of content supports translators in working more efficiently, which in turn helps reduce costs.

Transit also supports a wide range of file formats, allowing older translations to be reused even if they originate from different formats.

As a proven solution for managing complex translation projects, Transit is a reliable choice for professional translators and translation agencies. It is therefore well suited to companies with complex translation requirements that are looking for a comprehensive solution to optimize their translation processes.
