Reducing your Translation Costs

Alchemy PUBLISHER is an advanced translation memory solution that enables organizations to accelerate the translation of global content by leveraging previously translated materials. This will dramatically reduce the cost of translation, accelerate the delivery of localized content to overseas markets, and maintain quality and consistency across an organization's content.

Faster Time to Market
High-quality translation of content is crucial to the success of multi-national companies. As many organizations increase the availability of their product and services to meet the demands of overseas markets, they require dependable translation solutions that will lower overall costs, reduce time-to-market and improve quality.

Advanced Translation Memory
Alchemy PUBLISHER stores previously translated content in a single multi-lingual translation memory which allows an organization to easily access and leverage this content for all future translation projects.

When new content is presented for translation, Alchemy PUBLISHER swiftly analyzes it against information already stored within the translation memory. Any content that has already been previously translated is re-used - instantly reducing the amount of new material translators need to work on.

Improving Quality
Using translation memory in a translation project improves consistency and accuracy of localized content. It enhances customer experience, increases customer satisfaction and ultimately creates additional revenue opportunities from international markets.


Customer Benefits


Alchemy PUBLISHER makes localized content available for global audiences by processing untranslated content, analyzing it, presenting it for translation and then finally creating the localized version of the original source content. It automates many of the manual steps associated with the localization process, and drives higher re-use of existing translated materials.

By Using Alchemy PUIBLISHER organizations will experience:

  • Dramatic reduction in translation costs: Using Alchemy PUBLISHER ensures that you never translate a sentence twice and it can be re-used indefinitely. This improves productivity and results in significant translation savings. Additionally, using Alchemy PUBLISHER reduces desktop publishing costs (DTP) as layout information is also stored and re-used from the translation memory. Savings of 50%-60% are possible depending on the quality of your translation memories.

  • Higher Quality Translation: Alchemy PUBLISHER hides the complexity of underlying technology and file formats, presenting text for translation in highly visual and contextually rich editing environments. This enables the translator to focus on the accuracy and precision of their translations, helping organizations improve the quality and consistency of their content and safe guarding their corporate brand image.

  • Faster Release Cycles: Alchemy PUBLISHER provides a powerful integrated environment for all of your global content. It integrates smoothly with all of the industry leading workflow solutions and interoperates with all industry standard TM technologies. This helps maximize translation re-use, reducing project cycles and improving your time to market. This gives you first leap advantage over your competitors, and helps create new revenue opportunities for your business.

  • Rapid Return On Investment: Organizations that deploy Alchemy PUBLISHER within their localization workflow will enjoy savings on direct translation and DTP costs. Coupled with faster release times to international markets, these benefits make a rapid return on investment a certainty. In a typical deployment, a return on investment can be achieved in three to six months or less.

How it Works


Alchemy PUBLISHER comes with three advanced productivity experts that simplify the localization process.

  • Analysis Expert: Use the expert to determine how much previously translated materials can be used when starting a new project. Due to its flexibility of design and open architecture, the Analysis Expert can interrogate virtually any industry standard translation memory ensuring that you can maximize the re-use of previously translated content.

  • Translate Expert: This expert is designed to maximize the re-use of previously translated content and match it automatically to new content. This has a dramatic impact on localization costs as it reduces the number of words being sent to translators.

  • Clean Up Expert: When a translation project is completed, simply use this expert to create the localized version of your global content and update any translation memories with the latest and most current translated content.
