Microsoft SharePoint provides global organizations with a comprehensive, enterprise content management platform that enables them to publish and manage content consistently across websites, portals, and printed material.

Translations.com's GlobalLink Project Director integrates seamlessly with Microsoft SharePoint, giving users a powerful solution to initiate, automate, control, track, and complete all facets of the SharePoint translation process. The unique combination of the robust SharePoint functionality and the extended localization workflow capabilities of GlobalLink Project Director gives SharePoint customers a comprehensive platform to manage enterprise content for markets around the globe.

Translation Memory

GlobalLink Project Director is the only solution that allows SharePoint users to access translation memory (TM) assets directly within the SharePoint environment. Translation memory is a tool that stores previously translated content, allowing clients to reuse content where appropriate. The use of TM accelerates turnaround time, helps to maintain brand consistency in terminology, and significantly reduces costs. Through integration with the optional GlobalLink TM Server module, SharePoint users can get instant statistics on leveraged content and view TM information in an intuitive interface.
