The world has become a global village but a truly global language for communication is still awaited. This allows the translation industry to flourish and with the expansion of the industry, demand for translation software and applications have increased dramatically. But managing multiple versions of expensive desktop translation memory software has been a challenge for translators, agencies and global enterprises. Lionbridge's newly launched Translation Workspace is expected to fill this void. With the launch of Translation Workspace, the industry gets a flexible, SaaS (News - Alert)-based translation productivity platform.

After a robust and comprehensive global beta program, Translation Workspace, makes its market debut as the first, market-proven, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based translation productivity platform.  It will be available for all translators, agencies and clients worldwide through GeoWorkz.com, Lionbridge's eCommerce platform for all real-time translation applications.

Translation Workspace is completely automated and eliminates the need for users to buy, install or maintain any software on their premises.  It will require a simple, low-cost subscription to access Translation Workspace. Through its unique Live Assets feature, the application will help in translating, managing and sequencing language assets in real-time.

It will also help the team members collaborate instantly with other translators, monitor project productivity, automate quality assurance and engage qualified resources on demand. The individual translators and agencies will be able to function within their own secure, private work environment.

Translation Workspace makes a cost-effective translation-solution by providing a real-time, multi-tenant platform based on one instance of technology.  Since the application can transform static linguistic databases into real-time linguistic assets, translators, agencies and enterprises can dynamically align and scale their technology with their business needs, without spending a penny on upgradation, version control and maintenance fees.

By offering a  flexible, subscription-based model, Lionbridge is providing on-demand access to the industry's one of the most advanced language asset management tools without the cost and infrastructure of traditional on-premise translation systems.

"Traditional on-premise translation software has provided value for many organizations but it has reached its end of life. Organizations need a flexible solution that is designed and architected to take advantage of today's community-enabled Web platform.  With our innovative SaaS-based technology and flexible subscription model, we are reducing the cost and complexity of translation productivity tools, eliminating the need for expensive, on-premise software and helping users increase the efficiency and productivity of their businesses,"Rory Cowan, the CEO of Lionbridge maintained.
