SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 6 - Administration Guide 2
SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 6 Overview
Available in three editions, SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 6 is the only comprehensive
solution able to meet the full range of translation needs on an enterprise scale.
Supporting unlimited user access and millions of translations per day, the solution is
easy to deploy on a corporate intranet and extranet, on one or multiple servers. It
translates all types of documents and files formats, and also seamlessly integrates with
any business application.
Efficient access to the solution’s rich features is made available through a Web-based
interface and a software toolsuite called Application Packs available on the user
desktop. Popular features let users instantly translate texts, emails, Web pages, RSS
feeds, and a wide variety of file formats while preserving the original document layout
in the translations. Common to both interfaces is a dictionary search tool that provides
users with instant access to alternative meanings of selected terms from several built-
in dictionaries as well as user-defined dictionaries.
Users can improve and control quality translations with 5 built-in dictionaries covering
20 domains, user-defined profiles made of up unique options that are applied to
specific translation tasks, and two outstanding tools. The three-level SYSTRAN
Dictionary Manager lets users customize translations by adding their terminology into
the translation process. With this tool users create, manage, and store of their linguistic
resources on a centralized server which ensures consistent use of terminology across
the enterprise. The SYSTRAN Translation Project Manager is a translation workbench
used to create, manage, and post-edit translation projects. It interacts with the
Dictionary Manager and offers powerful review tools for terminology, analysis, and QA.
Corporations can easily add translation functionalities to any enterprise application
through the open APIs in SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 6. The Administration tools
allow for easy maintenance, activity reporting, and managing user permissions.
Feature usability is linked to each edition of SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 6.
Workgroup Edition is for small sized businesses, Standard Edition is for midsized, and
Global for the large enterprise platform.

About Language Translation Software
Language Translation Software, also known as Machine Translation, provides a set of
tools by which electronic text is automatically translated from one language (like
English) into another (like Spanish).
The software quickly yields a gisting-level translation (the ability to understand the
general idea of what is written) and even better translation quality when users take the
time to train the software to learn their company or subject terminology.
SYSTRAN offers robust tools to help you improve the quality of your translations and
streamline your post-editing and quality assurance workflows.
While SYSTRAN strives to provide the highest possible automatic translation
quality, it is important to note that the quality of the source text has a significant
effect on translation results. No automatic translation is perfect, nor is it intended
to replace human translators.
