TM engines – friends or foes?
iQube™ is a smart Translation Memory (TM) solution developed in-house at idioma. It
represents a 3-dimensional service: Quality, Quantity, and Quickness. Many TM
tools exist in the translation industry today, each with different advantages. We have tried to implement most of these in iQube while we have kept an extremely simple interface. From experience we know
that the majority of translators struggle in a TM environment, many are lost in
all the available settings and almost everyone complain that tags in
existing TM systems make actual translation difficult and post-checking even
more so. Style, being another issue, is difficult to unify as every translator
has different writing styles. As such iQube was designed as an intelligent TM platform, where emphasis was on a clean work environment for the translator to
make it easier to concentrate on the translation task and subsequent verification
of translated documents.
4 reasons 4 iQube™
iQube™ accentuates Quality, Quantity, and Quickness in translation in the following
ways:
- Integrated QA! idioma’s CrossCheck® QA application is completely integrated in iQube – each and every segment that is translated and verified is subject to mandatory QA checking to make sure Quality is not compromised.
- Highly customizable! iQube™ can be adapted to match client specifications – it notifies translators working on projects about client preferences, even checking to make sure writing rules are respected.
- Team work! If you have a tight deadline and are in a hurry, we can divide your project among multiple translators who will work in real time together against the iQube™ platform so translators can check and reuse each others’ work. This common way of working ensures unification of style in translated content.
- Process automation! As translation projects become increasingly complex with unification and detailed specifications constituting core issues, iQube™ systematizes glossary use, automates QA checks, and style sheet loading, this way contributing to Quickness.

The better TM engine, the better translation?
The end result
to clients is of course shortened delivery terms with enhanced consistency in their documentation. iQube™ has positively changed the
translators’ work experience. Translators now receive maximum assistance and
can focus on producing premium quality translation. As iQube™ manages the
translators’ work environment, we recommend generation of custom glossaries,
style sheet creation, and to specify project parameters prior to starting
projects. We are determined to make your translation perfect. By combining
iQube™ with our QA services, we can guarantee a completely different quality
dimension on your translation projects even when working with large volumes and
short deadlines. To get to know more about iQube™, please contact us (either via
