Wordbee December Newsletter!

by Quoc Nguyen | Dec 22, 2015

Dear Clients and Friends,

The winter season is finally upon us – or summer time if you are living in the Southern hemisphere – and with the changing seasons comes some exciting news and the promise of a great New Year

Some Wordbee Wins from 2015:

Wordbee Beebox: In 2015, we launched a variety of CMS connectors for Beebox, including TYPO3, Kentico and AEM. The Beebox cuts project management work in half, putting the emphasis on automating the translation process instead of individual file handling. Also, if you are a frequent user of file sharing systems such as Dropbox or Box, you can easily drag and drop your files into Beebox and to let the translation process begin. If you don’t already know about Beebox, let us know, we’d be pleased to show you why it should be part of your localization arsenal.

InDesign Preview: To provide greater convenience for our translators, we bundled our strengths with Frontlab to make the preview of InDesign documents possible in a browser. Translators don’t need to leave Wordbee Translator to view these documents, and Adobe InDesign doesn’t have to be installed locally either.

A Sneak Peek into our Roadmap:

Many companies keep their corporate roadmap under lock and key, but at Wordbee, we’re so excited about the future, we want to tell you about our plans now.

In 2016, we’ll be relaunching Wordbee Translator’s CAT editor, transforming it into an even more comprehensive, rich and very user-friendly translation platform than it currently is. Our vision for the CAT editor is to enable experiences which were not possible before – or feasible – in a web-based translation environment. Stay tuned for the launch details: we are confident that you’ll appreciate and enjoy these great new features.

Thank-you!

At Wordbee, we value the relationships that we build with our clients, and we’re always looking for creative ways to strengthen those relationships. We work every day to ensure that our clients enjoy a high level of security, availability and speed. On behalf of everyone at Wordbee, I’d like to say ‘thank-you’! We appreciate your business and we will continue to strive to meet your expectations.

If you’re not currently a client, we invite you to contact us and give us the opportunity to earn your business.

Happy New Year 2016!

Çağdaş Acar

Mediation is central to what I do. As a consultant in the field of translation technologies, I mediate between user profiles. It is challenging since it means constructing and re-constructing the full dynamics of any software within the minds of people with varying computer literacy.
As an adjunct lecturer, I convey this professional experience with undergraduate students of translation studies. Here I offer multiple perspectives, that of a business owner, a PM, a freelancer, and a trainer.
I am a literary translator since 2009. My freelance work covers EN<>TR translations in literature and arts. These real-life translations provide me with the training material to incorporate into the above-mentioned technology classes.
Mediation takes running a full cycle in communication. What I do, I believe, is based on this principle of achieving a full cycle.
