SDL, the leading provider of Global Information Management (GIM) solutions is pleased to announce the release of its enterprise platform SDL TM Server™ 2009, the powerful new translation memory-sharing technology that provides a scalable, performance-driven, innovative and flexible solution for customers wishing to share translation memory assets. The announcement also coincides with the release of SDL Trados® Studio Service Pack 1.

Designed specifically with the translation supply chain in mind, SDL TM Server 2009 gives organizations the ability to start experiencing the benefits of TM crowdsharing technology by providing the power to access central translation memories from anywhere in the globe. By sharing and managing translation assets throughout the translation community, corporations are able to significantly accelerate the creation of translation assets, dramatically increase leverage and ultimately substantially reduce the cost of translations.

SDL TM Server 2009 is built on the SDL Common Enterprise Application Framework™ (SDL CEAF™), the platform architecture for managing language assets across the enterprise.

Benefits of this scalable enterprise architecture for SDL TM Server 2009 include:

• Unparalleled power and processing speed

• Increased translation efficiency and enhanced productivity

• Maximum leverage of translation assets through a customizable translation environment

At the same time comes the release of SDL Trados Studio Service Pack 1. The latest service pack release continues its focus on performance, stability and usability and has more than 100 quality enhancements over the previous version.

"SDL Trados Studio 2009 represents a tremendous leap forward in translation technology, significantly increasing productivity. This is the result of the combined new features: the side-by-side editing view, AutoSuggest™, the displaying of all the terms from the termbases simultaneously and the professional use of SDL’s automated translation server as a time-saving technique," said Astrid Elke Johnson of AEJohnson Translation Services. "If you have been weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of using SDL Trados Studio 2009, now is the time with the new SP1 release!"
