Dashboard & Resources

Manual file handling of very large file

sets is inefficient.

• Lost time

• Opportunity cost

• Lack of dynamic, central overview

• Time lag

• Synchronization gap

• Process gulf

Small changes can introduce many

problems and big project risks!

for translation

What risks?

• File confusion

• File corruption

• Bug exposure

• Over- or under-translation

• Inaccurate assumptions

• Engineering rework cost

• Potential for missing deadlines

• Exponential downstream burden

Risk mitigation requires being closer

to control mechanisms.

Lingoport Resource Manager Before translation, LRM automatically:

• Monitors source code resource files for additions and changes;

• Checks candidate source files for localization-readiness;

• Flags files that do not pass for rework;

• Packages localization-ready files in a localization kit;

• Sends the package to the vendor for translation.

After the translation package is returned by the vendor, LRM

automatically:

• Inspects the files for potential mistakes that are known to occur during the

translation process;

• Reinserts the translated files into the development environment at the

proper location;

• Reconciles the environment.

LRM executes iteratively, and presents

the current status in a dashboard view

Ten reasons to deploy LRM are:

1. Automates iterative, non-value-added file management tasks.

2. Automates validation checking for common errors.

3. Reduces human error.

4. Provides intuitive, real-time dashboard status overview for all stakeholders.

5. Supports ease of deployment and operation.

6. Bridges the gap between development and localization.

7. Speeds localized resource turnaround time.

8. Reduces human resource opportunity cost.

9. Supports industry-standard development environments.

10. Enhances agile localization
