XTM Medical Questionnaire Localization

About the project: The client has an English questionnaire (it is about “understanding clinical practices / experiences and perceptions of company therapeutic leadership”.) that need to be translated into Thaiwan Traditional Chinese. This project will be done by a new CAT online tool, which is called XTM. All the translation will be completed within 1.5 working days with the daily capacity of 5000 words

Challenges:
Key issues for using XTM

XTM displays the text to be translated in segments. The translation environment consists of 4 columns: Segment ID, Source language, Target language and Status.

Select a match by clicking the tick mark next to it or click in the target segment and type out the translation directly.

Segments with an orange or red status need to be translated. When the translators have finished translating these segments, the status will automatically turn green.

Regarding the inline elements (curly brackets e.g. {1}.) in the target segment, actually it represented formatting texts and the final translation will be achieved by putting the cursor in the desired location and typing Alt + number on keyboard.

Double click on a word in the source or target text to select it and then right-click, then a context sensitive menu appears.

The quality assurance checks happen automatically when the translator set a segment to translate.

Click on the word then XTM displays a number of suggested spellings for the word. Select one of these words or add it to the custom default dictionary.
