Translations.com and KCSL Collaborate To Advance Automation in Localization of Multilingual Web Sites and Software with NoBabel Technology

Translations.com, a world leader in website and software localization, partners with KCSL, a leading edge linguistic software developer, to deliver processes for localization of multilingual websites and software that are more accurate and more economical than ever before.

NEW YORK and TORONTO, April 7, 2011 – Translations.com, a world leader in enterprise-wide translation workflow solutions, has partnered with KCSL Inc., a leading edge linguistic software developer that specializes in providing fully automated solutions to multilingual projects. Translations.com’s GlobalLink™ product suite and KCSL’s flagship NoBabel™ Translator will be integrated to offer customers the most efficient and accurate technology solutions to their localization/translation projects.

Mark Hagerty, Chief Technology Officer at Translations.com, explains: "Adding the accurate and automated NoBabel alignment and leveraging technologies to our GlobalLink suite of products will allow us to offer to our customers high levels of efficiency and automation that were not possible before."

Localization service providers often face the challenge of working with clients who have done a large amount of translation work internally or with other vendors, without utilizing Translation Memory. They have a significant amount of translated content, but no translation memory data, and they want the benefits of re-using their pre-existing translations.

"With NoBabel technology, generating a high quality Translation Memory from existing source and target content is simple and inexpensive. Alignment scoring allows you to focus manual alignment efforts on only a small subset of the content.", said Mr. Hagerty.

This partnership, aimed at solving the exponentially growing demand for translations, is seen by Ilia Kaufman, President of KCSL Inc., as a natural merger of leading technologies: "The timing of our collaboration with Translations.com is perfect. There is a synergy of technology and vision that has us very excited. With the rapid growth in demand for translations and the limited supply of qualified translators, the industry desperately needs technological breakthroughs. Our combined technologies address industry needs by providing innovative solutions to issues of supply and demand as well as cost."

NoBabel is the outgrowth of KCSL’s decades of effort and experience in linguistic technologies. NoBabel processes are fully automated, easy to use and are now available to Translations.com customers.
