Competition is fierce in the Translation Management System (TMS) arena, with dozens of providers duking it out to win over clients.

Is it possible to auto-select the best MT Engine? Let's take a look at what's out there.

One of the main reasons for implementing machine translation (MT) into localization workflows is that it saves money. And time. This time, let’s focus on money. In particular, cost savings.

About 20 percent of survey respondents confuse TMS for Business Management Systems (BMS). What's the difference and why does it matter?

By July 2018, the TAUS Quality Dashboard benchmarking database had exceeded 100 million words. It is still small in comparison with TMS databases, but it is slowly becoming a relevant aggregation of translation project metadata from which we can start drawing early conclusions.
