Lingotek, a company specializing in collaborative translation solutions, has announced the availability of its Collaborative Translation Platform or “CTP” version 5.0 SaaS (News - Alert) solution.

According to company officials, this solution will help enterprises, government agencies, and other organizations perform translations rapidly, accurately and cost effectively - when compared to many other traditional solutions and translation services.

Lingotek’s CTP content managers can upload and edit documents easily as well as enable connectivity with community members who can view and contribute translations as well as rate the precision and reliability of the translation.

The combination of machine translation solutions and real-time community translations have helped Adobe, the Library of Congress, eBay (News - Alert) and other Lingotek customers to use the CTP to produce translations in very less time and at lower costs.

Also, the ease of management feature of the CTP enables content managers to upload documents to the platform, invite volunteers from their community or choose translators to add to their project, and perform translations.

With Reliable Translation Communities, community members who are domain experts in their organization can also translate content as trusted professionals and rate translations enhancing the accuracy and reliability of results.

Lingotek CEO Robert Vandenberg said, “Language, not geography, is the largest single barrier for companies entering new markets. We eliminate the complexities typically associated with language translation; including high costs and misinterpretations.”

“By combining machine translations with human translators, the Lingotek Collaborative Translation Platform speeds up the process, and ensures accurate translations by leveraging existing community members as well as reducing costs; which ultimately helps companies bring translations to more foreign markets faster than before,” Vandenberg said.
