Transit NXT - Teamwork in all its forms.

• Transit NXT - translation memory in context

The sentence is the basic unit of language. However, it is not necessarily the basic unit of meaning. Translators read sentences in the source text, but are only able to do a good job of translating them if they are able to derive and understand their meaning from the context. This is a principle which was taken into account in the first version of Transit, over 20 years ago. In contrast to other translation memory systems, Transit does away with a database which is exclusively sentence-based; instead the full breadth of the intelligence contained in a document remains available in the Transit reference material.

This technique used in Transit of linking source and target documents at sentence, section or paragraph level (Transit reference material) is made all the more valuable if the translation matches will later be used to create source texts. Transit NXT brings this advantage even further to the fore to ensure that the important job of translation and document creation never takes place without the necessary contextual information. In the same way, Dynamic Linking also allows terminology entries and fuzzy matches to be related to the appropriate reference material.

• Enhanced document intelligence

Transit NXT allows the translator to concentrate purely on the text. Markups (tags) can be processed separately from the translation process itself and are largely handled by the system itself. This means that Transit's unique document intelligence is complemented by the equally important addition of intelligent formatting and screen layout (markups and window positions). Document structures and hierarchies are also displayed by the indent-level indicator.

• Divide tasks any way you want

Transit NXT, which is designed with the professional translator in mind, now has various presets to reduce the range of functions displayed by dividing the complex translation process into smaller subtasks (or roles) - such as translation, localization, project and terminology management, markup, etc. Thanks to this new idea of dividing tasks, even a beginner is able to work very efficiently.

• Power functions

All the core components of Transit NXT are visible to the user at a glance. This allows the Transit user interface to be quickly adapted to various job profiles, processes and working methods.

Function buttons such as User roles, Dictionaries and Reference material allow direct access to related tasks. They may also be used and configured by a Project Manager or other process owner who is not working on the project. Function buttons such as Interfaces, STAR James and Machine translation meet both active and passive requirements for interfacing with other systems, making integration with Transit even easier. As an example, the Interface function contains Transit filters for authoring systems from practically every field of application (MS Office, DTP, CMS/DMS systems, etc.). Standard formats such as XLIFF and TBX are also supported. localization, fuzzy search in source and target text, and synchronised display of the original source and target documents (PDF/HTML/XML) are accessed and configured via the respective button.
