Providing one or more translation memories, terminology and some consistency quality-assurance are common in professional computer-assisted translation (CAT) applications (e.g. Wordfast, SDL Trados).

This is also a must, and natural from the common translator point of view, which receives individual documents and manages it with CAT tools. Providing the same for such a complex and dynamic corpus of documents as the FreeBSD documentation, to be proposed for translation to a heterogeneous and volunteer translators community, and make it a success looks to me as almost an utopia. > What other types of translation systems are available? > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-translators@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-translators > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-translators-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
