TermWeb from Interverbum Technology has been chosen as the terminology management system for the GALA Model Service Elements project, one of the two core programs of the GALA Standards Initiative and Interverbum Technology has donated a TermWeb license to help support this worthwhile project, which aims to define the terms and services used in the industry to provide a neutral, third-party reference that all parties can rely on, as well as business resources (such as tools for building RFPs, SLAs, project plans, etc.).

By bringing transparency to the localization industry, this project will help professionalize the industry, reduce conflict, increase buyer confidence, and promote quality services that meet buyer needs.

TermWeb log-in for GALA Model Service Elements

Arle Lommel, Coordinator of the GALA Standards Initiative, says that “the GALA Standards Initiative looked at various options for managing localization-industry terminology, and it made sense to go with TermWeb, which is based on central industry standards, for a project to promote standards.”

One of the objectives of the project is to deliver definitions of industry terms that will be determined by the localization community through an online portal.  The portal will be available through the GALA website in early 2012 where users will access the completely web-based TermWeb and its collaborative-friendly functionality.

In TermWeb 3.9, terminologists will have statistics on all term searches that did not result in a match. They will then be able to add them as term proposals. So even if users don’t actively add new terms, TermWeb will be keeping track in the background and give new proposals on missing terms to terminologists. 
By connecting this to a workflow it will also be possible to trigger events like in the following scenario: if there are more than 10 term searches without a match, create a term proposal, set status to “unprocessed” and send email to the terminologists informing about this. All happening automatically.

We call it Term Impulse.

Interverbum Technology, Sweden, and Andrä AG, Berlin have joined in a global partnership. The result is a full integration of TermWeb, the terminology management solution by Interverbum Technology, and ontram, the Enterprise Translation Management Software by Andrä. The combined solution allows corporate content and product information to be created and translated faster and more efficiently. Users will benefit from improved fitness for global markets through truly consistent branding, shorter time to market and considerably increased translation productivity.

The Joint Solution

The integration will make it easy for users to:

  • Create, manage and share terminology with internal and external stakeholders
  • Translate, share and review text and terminology in a fully web-based environment
  • Ensure consistent terminology and branding in corporate content, across all languages and data formats
  • Access the terminology database from within the ontram Enterprise Translation Management
  • Pretranslate and review terminology in order to speed up the translation process
  • Shorten process cycles for translations and terminology through a predefined web-based process

Andrä and Interverbum Technology have much in common: their solutions are based on experience from large corporate customers, both tools use web-based technologies to deliver the top-class solution in their fields, and both solutions consistently apply industry standards like OLIF and TMX wherever possible. “We are confident that our joint offering will please the many users in the market who prefer top-class solutions to random software medleys,” ensures Annika Neumann of Andrä AG. “Users will benefit substantially from combining enterprise translation with enterprise terminology management,” adds Ioannis Ioakovidis of Interverbum Tech.

Global organizations seek efficient and seamless ways to improve collaboration among dispersed work teams. TermWeb´s workflow and interoperability capabilities improve co-operation for more efficient and powerful terminology management at VMware.

Listen to Patrick Fueldner from VMware and Ioannis Iakovidis from Interverbum Technology at Tekom on Thursday, October 20, at 10:00, in room 2B1.

The new TermWeb 3.8.2 features custom language handling. Language variants can be handled as regular separate languages allowing for filtering, better import/export and locking.

As an example, European and Brazilian Portuguese can be handled as two entirely different languages, facilitating integration with other systems requiring this.

In this latest TermWeb version bulk import of term data is also included among the workflow-initiating tasks. E.g. if a local terminologist imports a list of concepts with term suggestions, this can trigger an email to the customer’s subject matter expert to initiate an approval procedure.

Lately, universities and other educational institutions have shown an increasing interest in our terminology management system and as a resonse we are happy to introduce a special package deal of Educational licenses that include:

- A base package of 100 user licenses (full access permissions)

- Hosting, backups

- Support via email

The TermWeb educational licenses may be used for teaching, research, and administrative purposes. Any form of commercial use is of course explicitly prohibited. Commercial use is defined as use of the software, documentation, or data for any use relating to “for profit” purposes.

Interested? Please contact us for more information.

If you are using the Amazon web services platform in the cloud, you will now also be able to get consistency of language translation and brand equity across all touchpoints with TermWeb.

Did you miss our webinars on April 5th and 7th, introducing TermWeb 3.8. Now it can be followed on YouTube, split into six parts, so don’t miss out on all the new features:

Automated workflows improve team collaboration

New multiple dictionary search function streamlines the work by more easily enabling searchesin all available dictionaries

Users can create detailed permission structures  — for instance, certain fields can be set to be read only for certain user groups (and in certain conditions)

Adds multivalue fields, allowing users to create and select more than one value in a field. This adds speed for TermWeb users while also reducing complexity of the database

Follow this link to part one

Join our webinar and learn more about TermWeb and its new features that will bring productivity gains by automating many of the administrative processes involved in working with your termbases.

When carrying out a task in TermWeb 3.8, such as creating a concept or editing a term, the action can now be connected to a “workflow”—a series of user-defined actions that are executed automatically. This provides users and administrators with the ability to easily define and automate tasks, control access permissions on the field level, and add styling to term data. By defining conditions, functions and validations, users can control what should happen when and where in the system and inform the relevant users about it.

Want to know more? We will be on air April 5th and 7th at 15.00 GMT and 18.00 GMT respectively. Drop us an email (info@termweb.se) or register here:
