STC Summit 2017

Editing documents can often lead to unanticipated translation costs. While explaining the secrets of localization pricing, this session shares with documentation managers and editors some concrete tips for reducing expenses. Strategies for both new and updated materials are covered. Attendees will benefit from learning about the impact of translation memory on cost, and the impact of editing on translation memory effectiveness. The session also covers strategies for avoiding the hidden translation costs involved in changing documentation formats (such as from FrameMaker to XML).
