Logos is the best

Leading companies refer to The Logos Intelligent Translation System as the world's best because of its remarkable translation quality and its unlimited ability to learn. Large translation projects, in particular, can be completed more quickly and with greater terminological consistency.

Translation groups within all types of organizations become more productive by using Logos translation tools in their process. Individual translators can also have access to the same powerful Logos system using a handy dial-up feature via modem. This can give virtually anyone the ability to produce translation-on-demand in draft quality at a reasonable cost.

Logos makes all translators more efficient. With more efficient translators, you will be able to translate more documents of higher quality in less time for a fraction of the cost.

"Using Logos, Lexitech was able to acquire a large international account and improve the customer's turnaround for translated documents by 18 months. We were able to reduce their costs by more than 30% and achieve unprecedented uniformity throughout a suite of documents measuring upwards of 60,000 pages!"

The Logos Intelligent Translation System

The Global Challenge: Time is Money... Are you making the most of it?

• In today's fast-paced global economy, communicating your message in multiple languages is no longer a luxury. It is a financial imperative.
  
  
• The faster your products are translated and produced for foreign markets the sooner you will be able to sell.
  
  
• Technical documentation, user guides, training materials and safety manuals all have to be translated or your product could be stopped at the border.
  
  
• The way to optimize international sales is to release all foreign language products simultaneously with your home market release.
  
  
• You need the highest quality of translation at minimum cost. Now. But translation is expensive and time consuming. How do you reduce the cost and speed up production?

Translation Productivity - The 4 Golden Rules

Translation is an ancient art that has changed very little in several thousand years. Whether using traditional pen and ink or the most modern word processor, translators can only complete a limited amount of accurate technical translation per day.

Logos technology boosts translator efficiency in four important ways:

• Minimizes overall translator workload.
• Eliminates rework and re-translation.
• Removes non-linguistic tasks.
• Consistently applies the correct terminology every time.

The Solution: Logos software brings technology to the art of translation

More than mere word-for-word replacement, the Logos System can analyze and translate even complex sentences with startling accuracy.

The Logos Intelligent Translation System is a set of UNIX and Windows software tools that make your company or organization more productive and more profitable. Today. Logos brings you a very sophisticated set of translation products that learn, process and remember more translation than any other product you can buy at any price.

THE ART OF TRANSLATION

Translation is not an event, it is a complex process which is partly scientific and partly artistic. The skills and talent of the translation artist are irreplaceable. But applied science has found a way to reproduce many of the more mechanical operations involved in the translation task. Logos helps translators to manage terminology and glossaries, prepare draft translations and even preserve document formatting. By using Logos software, the translator can be freed to attend to translation quality.

BRINGING SCIENCE TO THE ART

Logos brings you a complete automatic translation system which includes: automatic full sentence translation, extensive industry-specific dictionaries, powerful utilities to customize dictionaries and semantic rules, versatile sentence memory, and more! The Logos Intelligent Translation System quickly produces a high quality first draft translation. Once the basic translation work is done by the computer, the document needs only to be post-edited and refined by the expert translator.

Logos is in a class by itself

The Logos system truly stands head and shoulders above any other computer-based translation tool on the market. More than just mere machine translation, the Logos system is actually able to deduce subtle contextual differences in language so that it may choose the proper word meaning in the foreign language. What makes this possible is the company's proprietary semantico-syntactic representation language which underlies all the internal processes of the system.

The Logos system analyzes the complete source sentence and derives information on morphology, parts of speech, and grammatical function. Both the semantic connections between words and the syntactical structure of the sentence are taken into account during this analysis. This permits the Logos system to move far beyond word-for-word replacement to produce a more sophisticated, complete and idiomatically correct rendition in the target language.
