  • (1888PressRelease) July 29, 2010 - As part of the partnership, Moravia becomes the first adopter of the TM Repository technology and is implementing the product in its tool-agnostic workflow. Moravia also joins the TM Repository Product Development Steering Committee and participates in beta testing.

    Translation Memory Management is a brand-new area in the language industry. TMM systems consolidate existing TMs in a single database, allowing each translation unit to be richly annotated with metadata, such as segmentation and mark-up rules, regardless of the originating translation memory tool. This both maximizes the ability to achieve cross-TM leverage, and facilitates preparing high-quality data for training Statistical Machine Translation systems or building bilingual corpora via a pivot language, in the absence of data in a given language pair.

    The concept behind Kilgray's TM Repository is fully compatible with Moravia's technology strategy of interoperable language technology components. The product sets a precedent in its strong support of standards such as TMX and XLIFF and its integratability into any Translation Management System, as well as allowing the exchange of TMs without loss of vital information.

    "At Moravia, we frequently encounter clients who have large collections of translation memories but fail to fully utilize them due to localization vendors using different technology stacks," commented David Filip, Moravia's Project Management Officer. "TM Repository helps us and our clients understand and realize the full value of their assets. Since its founding 20 years ago, Moravia has been an early adopter of emerging technologies. We see TM management as one of the next frontiers, and TM Repository as a clear pioneer in this area."

    "We are pleased that Moravia has chosen to implement the technology and joins the steering committee of the product. It's always hard to introduce a brand new technology but this shows that once again we are on the right track," added Balazs Kis, Kilgray's Chief Executive Officer.
