Freeway Philosophy on Localization & Translation
The world of localization is undergoing a transformation. New internet technologies, broader language sets, and exponential increases in content require new thinking and new approaches to meeting your localization needs.
Lionbridge anticipated this transition and began developing a fully web-architected solution in 2005 with the acquisition of Logoport. Since then, we have taken the core functionality and expanded it to cover translation memory, terminology management and even machine translation. With Freeway, we have added the collaborative and connectivity elements required to thrive in an on-demand, streaming content environment.
As projects increase in frequency and complexity, but shrink in discrete size, the Lionbridge team is able to respond because of the unique characteristics of the Freeway production platform. Whether it is engaging hundreds of translators using a common glossary and real-time translation memory (TM) reconciliation, or providing instant summary reports of your spend year-to-date across a dozen departments, Freeway is the engine enabling Lionbridge's migration to a true managed services model.
