Translation Manager is a browser-based system
designed to simplify the management of the subtitling and translation process.
By pulling all the separate elements of the workflow
into one efficient management tool,
Translation Manager offers significant time and cost savings
over manual or spreadsheet-based procedures,
designed to help you translate,
not administrate.
Keeping track of all the many steps involved in ensuring the delivery
of high quality translation to your customers
has traditionally involved extreme feats of organizational skill.
The subtitling workflow
from receiving an order to delivering the final product to the customer
has involved a vast and complicated array of
emails,
databases,
Excel spreadsheets,
FTP sites
and invoices.
Translation Manager pulls all of this together
into one centralized location.
All the emails, scripts and media, calendars and spreadsheets,
and customer, employee and freelance databases
that you refer to daily
are now all accessible through one centralized place.
With Translation Manager at the center of your business,
each person in the workflow chain
has the data they require at their fingertips
in real time.
Each user, whether working in the office or across the world
is granted appropriate access rights
according to the kind of tasks they are assigned,
and can complete their work without ever having to leave the system.
Translation Manager automates many of the processes
that have traditionally been done manually.
And with an SQL database at the heart of Translation Manager,
everything from customer records to timesheets
are efficiently stored and retrieved.
As it runs within your browser,
there's no need to have Translation Manager installed on your computer.
And being compatible with the most widely used web browsers,
access to your data is securely available from anywhere in the world.
When an order is received from a customer,
an employee inputs the data into the system
and uploads the relevant media files and scripts.
All the information pertaining to the order
is now accessible through the system.
Project managers then allocate tasks to staff
and assign dates for their completion.
And the system automatically emails people
to alert them to the fact
that new tasks have been assigned to them.
When translators log in to Translation Manager,
they have an instant view of the tasks they have to complete,
as well as any messages they may have received.
Without having to leave the system,
they can then download the files they need to complete their tasks
and finally upload their finished work.
They can also use the internal instant messaging system
to communicate with the project manager about the task.
Every version of a file that is ever uploaded to Translation Manager
is saved,
so managers and administrators are always able to access
all versions of files,
even those that have apparently been deleted.
Using the management dashboard,
general managers can see at a glance
an up to the minute display of the company's orders and income
for today, this week, this month and this year.
Through the use of integrated price lists and timesheets,
Translation Manager dramatically simplifies how customers are charged
and how suppliers are paid for the tasks they complete.
The cost associated with any task
are visible during each step of the process,
and profit and loss statements can be extracted from the system at any time.
As each user is granted access rights
appropriate to the tasks they are required to complete,
everyone's home screen will show them
only those menus they require to do their work.
Because Translation Manager automates a huge amount of the work
that has traditionally been done manually,
it drastically reduces costly management time.
The system also ensures that permanent records are kept
of every step in the translation process,
so no script can ever be lost, file go astray,
or payment be processed inaccurately.
Translation Manager unites
all the separate elements of your workflow
into one secure location,
resulting in a joined up and easy to manage process
freeing up time for you to do what you do best:
translate
not administrate.
