Obtree Technologies Inc. announced that Obtree C4 version 4.1 will include translation version control. This tool could reduce translation costs and increase the efficiency and continuity of content associated with multilingual Web sites. With Obtree C4 version 4.1, site translators can make changes via the Web from any country location. Translation providers do not require any technical skills to translate content directly. Integration with ‘multilingual management systems’, e.g., translation software company SDL International, which use ‘Translation Memory’ engines to reduce the volume of words requiring translation, simplifies the process even further. The Obtree C4 platform provides IT managers an enterprise content management infrastructure to build tailored, flexible content management solutions. Version 4.1 will track the edits and any re-organization of text, automatically alerting the appropriate person for approval or translation. Obtree handles content such that translation will be solely restricted to updated text. www.obtree.com
