our translation management process

translate

Total Language Solutions manages the language translation needs of businesses of all sizes in any commercial sector and from around the world. For this reason we developed our own translation management process system.

LIFTS © is the acronym for the in-house developed Qwertyword© language translation "process control and document management" system, unique to Total Language Solutions.

  • Language
  • Integrated
  • Folder-controlled
  • Translation System

This is what LIFTS translation delivers to our clients:

  • Saves them money
  • Speeds up the translation turn-round process
  • Ensures localisation
  • Creates global consistency
  • Builds a unique translation memory bank

Major businesses can then benefit from our language translations:

  • The efficiencies generated by centralisation e.g. of purchasing, and
  • The importance of maintaining local sensitivities such as the correct colours and styles.

The LIFTS process enables Total Language Solutions Limited to develop a cumulative central database for each client's translated material which can be accessed at any time.

The data base has a register to select the correct translation; the original material and changes in the original over time plus the original translation and subsequent changes thereto: every event is date registered.

External translated communications by the client with its customers and suppliers world wide: "But we are different………!" is the mantra of every country manager.

Different brands, different products and different services in different countries and cultures under different managers with different priorities, different market needs and different competitors, different cultural constraints and different opportunities.

 The Qwertyword document control process (LIFTS) will manage the translation of all of your external material for customers, clients and suppliers into the right language for the right region, country and locale; with the right cultural approach and the correct social intimation.

Internal translated communications by the client with its employees share holders and other stakeholders

The Qwertyword document control process (LIFTS) manages the translation of all of your internal material for employees, shareholders and other internal stakeholders into the right language for the right region, country and locale; with the right cultural approach and the correct social intimation.

The LIFTS language translation process ensures that each document is:

  • Translated only once &
  • Only subsequent changes to the original are translated.

The LIFTS language translation process means that:

  • Less time is taken up internally by the client's employees (a major hidden cost) and
  • Less cost needs to be paid to external translation providers.

The LIFTS language translation process will:

  • Determine local needs
  • Ensure local fulfillment
  • Achieve centralised delivery
  • Achieve central control.
