6. Use The Right Translation Management Software<br />

Using the right translation management software will take the headache out of your website<br />

localization project. <strong>Your</strong> ​translation management software should have several key features,<br />

including:<br />

● An API – to make automation possible. <strong>Your</strong> programmers can then integrate all projects<br />

with ease, import locale files and interact with the data. An API is essential for<br />

streamlining your workflow.<br />

● Collaboration Functions – to make sure that your project runs smoothly. You need to be<br />

able to communicate effectively with all team members. Leave feedback, notes,<br />

comments, screenshots and tags, all in one place.<br />

● Direct <strong>Website</strong> Translation – just as it sounds, this will speed up your website localization<br />

project. If your translation management software doesn’t allow your translators to type<br />

directly onto your website, you’re slowing down your workflow. Remember the point<br />

about lengthy emails and piles of spreadsheets? Just think how awesome it would be if<br />

all that work could go right onto the site! <strong>Your</strong> translators and programmers could<br />

collaborate over one software!<br />

● Translation Memory – to speed up your projects and record any frequently used terms.<br />

<strong>Your</strong> translation memory will also save all changes and let you look up older versions with<br />

ease. Cut down repetitive manual tasks for all.<br />

<strong>Your</strong> translation management software will act as a project manager and coordinator at once.<br />

When you have all your team members working in harmony, you’re far more likely to get your<br />

website localized faster and with lower cost.<br />
