XyEnterprise, a leading developer of XML content management and enterprise publishing solutions, and SDL International, the world’s leading provider of translation technology and services, today announced the availability of the Content@ Translation Solution with SDL. This new offering integrates XyEnterprise’s Content@™ content management software with the SDL Translation Management System (TMS) providing a complete end-to-end solution for content creation, management, translation and delivery.

“For multinational corporations and publishers, translating source content into multiple languages in a timely and cost effective manner is a crucial business function,” says XyEnterprise President Kevin Duffy  “Our new Content@ Translation Solution with SDL seamlessly integrates two best-of-class systems to create the most comprehensive content management and translation solution available.”

The Content@ Translation Solution with SDL enables users to:

  • Manage the content authoring and editorial processes under full workflow control in Content@ based on reusable, sharable information components.
  • Understand precisely what has changed and what impact the changes have across products and deliverables that share this content.
  • Automatically track any and all language variants that exist or should exist for any content component or document in the integrated system.
  • Deliver changed content to the SDL Translation Management System, which optimizes all translation processes, including comprehensive project and vendor management with automated work allocation.
  • Provide real-time feedback and version control on work in progress at any stage in the workflow.
  • Store and manage approved data in all languages for multi-channel delivery in current or future publications or deliverables.   


“Our partnership with XyEnterprise gives organizations an important new option for end-to-end global information management,” says Keith Mills, Chief Technology Officer of SDL International. “This integrated solution enables organizations to easily reuse information components in any language and shorten time-to-revenue in global markets.”

Tweddle Litho Company, one of the leading suppliers of automotive owners’ literature, producing owner’s manuals, maintenance schedules, service manuals, and other key documents for top U.S., European, and Japanese automotive manufacturers, has deployed a system using both Content@ and SDL technology.

“This tight integration of Content@ and SDL TMS will enable us to further streamline our content management, translation and publishing processes,” says Andrew Tweddle, president & CEO, Tweddle Litho Company.  “The joint solution from two of our strategic vendors will give us an even greater competitive edge in our markets.”

Tweddle Litho will be presenting on the subject “Increasing Automotive Content Translation Productivity Using Integrated Content Management, Translation Management and Translation Automation” at the LISA Global Strategies Summit in Boston on May 26th, 2005.
