A major mantra at Intel is efficiency: Do more with less; Do it faster; Do it better; Do it in a scalable fashion. Automation is the key means of achieving localization and translation efficiencies. However, each company or institution reaches a limit on how much they can do on their own.
The TAUS Data Association offers a collaborative community that builds synergy around localization processes and translation automation. Sharing language data allows members to enhance or build:
- Translation memories
- Advanced leveraging-
- Machine translation systems
- New or expanded markets
- Global revenue
- Standards in industry-sector languages and terminology
- New L10N methods, processes and technology through collaborative R&D
TDA has the potential to build collective value on a level playing field as other collaborative community efforts have done for their domains and industries.
