What is MemSource?

MemSource is translation software that is developed by MemSource Technologies, and that was launched in 2011.

MemSource Cloud is a complete translation environment that includes translation memory, integrated machine translation, terminology management, and a text editor.

MemSource Editor is a powerful, yet easy-to-use translator's workbench. It connects to translation memories and glossaries stored in MemSource Cloud or MemSource Server:

• It allows storing translated segments in a translation memory in real time.
• It is also connected to a project term base; translators see immediately any terminology changes made by the project manager or terminologist, and in this way, terms get instantly shared across the entire translation team.

MemSource Server has been designed to provide a complete translation environment for corporate localization departments as well as language service providers. Its architecture is based on a robust backend and a light-weight, intuitive user interface.

MemSource Environment

Some of the advantages of MemSource are:

• A complete solution: With translation memory, term base, integrated machine translation and translator’s workbench, MemSource is a complete translation environment.
• Free for translators: MemSource Editor is available as a free download, so a translation company that subscribes to MemSource can ask anyone to translate for them.
• Offline capability: MemSource Cloud is one of the very few cloud translation systems that also supports offline translation.
• Flexible pricing: Translators can upgrade and downgrade their subscription depending on their needs.
• Multiplatform: MemSource also works on Mac and Linux, not just on Windows.
• Centralized: All MemSource components are based on a centralized architecture; this means that project managers do not have to email translation memories or glossaries to their translators.
• Real time: Everything that happens in and around MemSource Cloud is tracked in real time, so project managers can monitor the progress of each translation job minute by minute.
• Collaborative: Translation memories and term bases get shared and updated by all project members.
• User friendly: MemSource is easy to use and at the same time offers powerful features. Many translation tools have bloated interfaces with a number of bizarre options that very few users will actually use.
• Great support: The technical support is fast, friendly and direct.
