Publish Translations

 

Use Publish to store localised content on an Alchemy Language Exchange server. This content can then be shared throughout your project team and re-used using the Leverage Expert. Additionally, a Language Exchange server can be configured as Active Translation Memory so that translators and engineers can view translation suggestions while they work.

To publish translations on a Language Exchange server, you need to specify the location where the translation is to be stored and then specify what you wish to publish. For example, a translator can publish translations to the Language Exchange server, while a localization engineer publishes co-ordinate information. This ensures that both engineer and translator work in parallel with each other helping to reduce project cycles.
