The opening sentence should have been "In line with the request on our
interest in WS for translation" - my laptop keyboard is acting up!

In line with the request on our , I would like to outline some of our
aspirational requirements in the web services for translation space. We
already work with a number of partners and would see the cost and quality
benefits in standardising our business interfaces, particularly in the
administrative aspects of project management. Our goal would be to
"productise" our localisation offering to the organisation and beyond - in
effect, allowing us to localise "anywhere". The key focus areas would
be...
- Standardisation
* Identification, naming and
definition of standard measurable tasks/activities
- Translation Management
* Automatic MT/TM Interfacing
* Glossary
Access/Update/Management/Linguistic Review/Measurement
* Acitivity instruction management (i.e.,
returned files must be formatted this way or that)
- Content Management
* Kit Preparation
* Content Tracking and
Distribution
* Content re-intergration -
Business Management * Work Effort Tracking (based on
productivity metrics)
* Budget Tracking (associated tasks within
this project)
* Content Churn Management (rate of
change/historics - used for predictive scheduling)
* PO/Invoice Handling (standardised
protocol linking budgets to actuals to PO's to Invoices)
* Workflow Issues Management (allowing each
workflow stage to have escalation events) This may be beyond the scope of WS for translation, but localisation for us
is more than just translation.
In relation to all of this I must admit that, to me, it really starts to
look like a standard business process automation effort. If one views
Localisation/Translation as a set of interdependant supply-chain
activities, then perhaps a lot of the collaterals we would require
actually already exists (ebXML, CM systems, Workflow systems) - is this more of
a systems integration exercise? The specific WS-translation goals would
seem to be more around consistent interfaces to memories/MT, content conversion
and re-integration.
Have I over simplified or missed the point?
Cheers
Steve.
