Lingotek's Cost-Effective Translation Platform Helps Businesses Expand

July 27, 2010

Lingotek, a collaborative translation solutions provider announced the availability of their award-winning Collaborative Translation Platform (CTP), version 5.0 SaaS solution.


A trusted name in the industry, Lingotek’s impressive clientele includes enterprises and government agencies among other organizations. Using Lingotek’s CTP, businesses can perform translations faster, cheaper and more accurately than traditional solutions and translation services.

Lingotek’s CTP makes it possible for content managers to upload and edit documents easily as well as invite and connect with community members who can not only view and contribute translations but rate the precision and reliability of the translation. Adobe, the Library of Congress, eBay and other Lingotek customers have used the CTP to produce translations in a third amount of the time while reducing the costs by 30 percent by combining best-in-class machine translation solutions and real-time community translations.

CTP has the following features :

Ease of Management: Using the CTP, content managers upload documents to the platform, invite volunteers from their community (or choose translators) to add to their project, and perform translations.

Reliable Translation Communities: Community members can translate content as trusted professionals and rate translations enhancing the accuracy and reliable results.

Cost-Effective Method: CTP can reduce an organization’s translation costs by 30 percent or more, through increased speed, and by use of volunteers from their community to perform translations.

Proven Customers: Adobe was expanding its line of Flex Developer products in China; leveraging the CTP, Adobe was able to take advantage of their Chinese-user base to get content translated.

Lingotek CEO Robert Vandenberg explained that language is the single largest barrier for companies entering new markets and this is where Lingoteks’s CTP eliminates the complexities typically associated with language translation; including high costs and misinterpretations.

Vandenberg added that by combining machine translations with human translators, the Lingotek Collaborative Translation Platform speeds up the process, and ensures accurate translations by employing existing community members as well as reducing costs, thereby helping companies bring translations to more foreign markets faster than before.
