Single sourcing saves time and money. Author-it is a true single source documentation tool. Authors create pieces of re-usable information which are managed and maintained in one database - the single source - then published to many audiences, documents, and formats - both print and on-line.
Using Author-it and single sourcing, you write information once, make changes in one place, reduce errors and re-work, eliminate duplication, minimise reviews, reduce translation and localization costs, and maintain consistency.
Collaborative authoring gets the job done first time, on time. Author-it is a collaborative authoring tool where authors and other contributors work together as a team. Author-it provides a multi-user environment with dynamic check-in and check-out, security control, standards control, version control, document release control, and integrated project and task management.
Using Author-it and collaborative authoring, you will complete your jobs faster, improve accuracy, increase productivity, set standards, and maintain control of your documentation.
More and more businesses are expanding into international markets. A critical success factor for this expansion is high quality, cost-effective, timely translated written content. Responsibility for this typically falls on internal translation departments or localisation partners. Translation comes at a high price, exceeding the cost of writing the original content after only a few languages. Current approaches to localisation rely on technologies and processes that have minimal scope for improvement. The localisation industry is under increasing pressure to find new ways to improve cost-efficiency, quality, and time-to-market.
The Author-it Localization Manager delivers breakthrough technology to improve cost-efficiency, quality, and time-to-market. It has been specifically designed to track and manage translation and localisation of source content into any single or double-byte language. It is tightly integrated and elegantly complements the advantages of Author-it's comprehensive single-source authoring, management, and publishing technology.
The Localization Manager paves the way for ultimate content reuse, by leveraging reused content directly from Author-it's single-source database. This reduces or even eliminates repeated translations, with translators only working on new and changed content. Real projects have shown substantial savings in localisation costs, through automating processes, single-source publishing, and significant reductions in translation word counts. The Localization Manager seamlessly integrates with existing localisation and translation processes, and uses XML to provide compatibility with translation memory tools.
