XTRF-SDL platform – deep integration

PRLog - Apr. 17, 2012 - XTRF™ is one of the most important Translation Management Systems on the market and integration with SDL Trados was a natural step in system development: “With Trados Studio integration, you can increase your responsiveness to clients’ requests and substantially decrease the overhead costs of the creation and management of repetitive projects with a quick turnaround time. You can do it all with just one click!” says Tomasz Mróz, Operation Director of XTRF Management Systems. Integration is available starting from XTRF 2.6 and it applies to SDL Trados Studio 2009 and SLD Trados Studio 2011.

How does the integration work?
a.   A predefined XTRF™ workflow creates a project in Trados Studio,
b.   XTRF™ orders Trados to perform the analysis,
c.   XTRF™ receive the results of the analysis and creates a financial calculation based on selected rates,
d.   XTRF creates and sends an XLIFF file together with the translation resources to the selected translator,
e.   The translator and proofreader work on the files on their local SDL Trados installations,
f.   Once the workflow is completed, the original format of the file is created and automatically sent to the client.

All of the above steps are triggered with just one click of the start workflow button. The main benefits for users are time saving, streamlining of processes, and elimination of errors. Since XTRF™ is the only system on the market that offers a flexible workflow module, translation companies can remain flexible, while enjoying the benefits of automation with Trados.
