SDL TMS 2007 SP4

SDL TMS 2007 Service Pack 4 is the culmination of several months work to significantly improve the underlying architecture of TMS for performance, reliability, and future maintenance. This Service Pack introduces a new workflow service with much improved scalability and ability to make use of the available server hardware.

For translation professionals:

• Translation Memory – It is now possible to correct translation errors and update out-of-date translations (e.g. old Terminology) that have been saved in the TM. This is achieved using the new import from ITD and SDLX MDB file format option. Zip file compressed versions of these formats can also be imported in this way.
• Reviewer grading – New flexibility and configurable options for reviewers to grade translation quality. This new release includes support for the LISA QA Model and SAE J2450 as well as the ability to create and apply your own translation QA Models.
• Reporting – The new reporting engine provides a set of standard reports that are available in a variety of rich formats including: Adobe PDF, CSV, RTF, Microsoft Excel 2007 or Microsoft Word 2007. Using new tools, the SDL Professional Services team can customize reports to meet requirements including charts and graphs.

For administrators & support teams:

• Reliability, scalability, performance and robustness.
• Supports an increased range of web browsers for greater compatibility. TMS now supports Internet Explorer 8.0, in addition to IE6.0 and 7.0, and Firefox 3.5 as well as Firefox 2.0 and 3.0.
• New status reports for diagnostics rather than relying on Microsoft Windows Admin tools
• New Exception handling reduces Recovery situations. TMS is now capable of detecting specific problems (like incorrect or corrupted source files) and taking specific action to resolve these problems, rather than using the Recovery inbox as a single point of error handling. This should allow a faster and more appropriate response to problems.
