Translation Management System

Before the rise of Translation Management Systems (TMS), there were CAT tools. A CAT (Computer-Assisted or Computer-Aided Translation) tool is software that allows a user to work with bilingual text – the source and the target (translation).

In May, Nimdzi participated in a private demo of SDL’s new enterprise product, SDL Language Cloud. Our initial impression is that this new product represents a strong step away from SDL’s old-fashioned Worldserver and translation management system (TMS) interfaces into an all-new user experience.

In this webinar co-hosted by Nimdzi and Xillio, we look at technology around localization and connectivity.

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

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

TMS stands for Translation Management System. However, there’s no exact standard within the translation and localization industry as to what comprises a TMS.

But we call any such technology a Business Management System (BMS) since that’s what it does: it helps manage business operations.

Have you ever confused a TMS with a TMS? We bet you did. (Editor’s note: Some on Nimdzi’s team do it all the time.) On paper, TMS stands for Translation Management System. But the localization industry has different ways to define what this name covers.

The TMS Feature Comparison Tool allows users to compare translation management systems side-by-side
