SDL Analyse launches after customer contest to
find next big translation productivity app
SDL (LSE:SDL) today announced the launch of SDL Analyse, the
200th app featured on the SDL AppStore, a hub of the latest
third-party apps designed to enhance translator productivity.
With more than 275,000 downloads and 33,000 users, the SDL
AppStore has quickly become a community for translators, reviewers
and project managers to find and download apps that complement SDL
software. The language industry’s first and only app store, the SDL
AppStore is a free and open platform. The latest app added to the
online store in 2017, SDL Analyse, provides quick analysis of the
word count involved for translation projects – taking seconds
rather than minutes.
The idea for SDL Analyse stems from an SDL-run contest held in
late 2016, which asked SDL Trados Studio customers for ideas on the
features and applications that would help improve their translation
experience. With hundreds of entries worldwide, SDL judges narrowed
the ideas down to 13 for an online vote on SDL Community, an online
forum for SDL customers to connect with their peers.
SDL Analyse received the most votes and was announced the winner
– and just months later has launched for users.
“This easy and intuitive word count app will make our lives
easier,” said Marta Cervera Areny, freelance translator and
inventor of the app. “When the client asks when you will have the
attached document ready, you can provide them with an accurate
answer in just a minute. That’s because you’ll have an accurate
word count right away, skipping all the fuss of having to create a
project to get this information.”
With the ability to download apps and develop their own bespoke
apps or integrations with other systems via the SDL AppStore, SDL
customers have a unique opportunity to tap into their full
potential in terms of translation productivity. Users can also
create their own personalized solutions through the use of the APIs
found on the Developer Hub. Since its launch in 2010, the number of
apps available in the SDL AppStore has seen rapid growth. With
contributions from over 1,500 developers, the 200 apps – developed
both by SDL and third-party developers – drive efficiency for
various translation processes, including accessing terminology,
preparing work for other translators and more.
“We want to make sure we offer a personal experience to our
users as well as continue to engage with the translation community
to improve our products,” said Massimo Ghislandi, Executive Vice
President of Translation Productivity, SDL. “This competition has
been a great example of how SDL can work closely with its customer
base and leverage the innovative capabilities offered by SDL Trados
Studio’s open platform to quickly deliver a tangible solution for
customers’ needs.”
