IAI and Across Systems Announce Strategic Partnership

IAI and Across Systems announced a strategic partnership and collaboration for interfaces between the CLAT (Controlled Language Authoring Tool) from IAI and the translation management system of Across. The integration of the two technologies enables automated and seamless inclusion of quality checks for extensive texts in the authoring or translation process, such as multilingual manuals or product catalogs. CLAT from IAI (Institute for Applied Information Science at Saarland University) facilitates quality proofing of texts, for example, to verify compliance with grammar rules or terminology conventions. CLAT is based on the same technology as the "DUDEN Korrektor," which is sold by Brockhaus Publishers. CLAT can also automatically check the uniformity of a text for company-specific standards such as corporate wording. Thus, there is no need for manual reconciliation with internal style guides. The Language Server of Across Systems is a software platform for all corporate language resources and translation processes. In addition to a translation memory and a terminology system, it comprises components for project management and workflow control. Industrial enterprises and language service providers use the Across Language Server for tasks such as the composition and translation of manuals, product catalogs, and other documents in multiple languages. The quality management of the source text and translations is complemented by the rules-based approach of CLAT. http://www.Across.net, http://www.iai-sb.de
