Linguistic Assets

What Powers Your Translations Behind the Scenes?

When you work with LanguageLine, your content doesn’t get translated in isolation. Every project draws on a robust foundation of linguistic assets, custom-built for your brand and optimized over time. These assets ensure that no matter how often you update your content, your tone, terminology, and message remain clear and consistent.

From Translation Memory and Glossaries to Style Guides and Customized NMT, these tools streamline production, reduce costs, and increase quality, especially across high-volume or high-compliance content.

Our Linguistic Asset Framework

1. Translation Memory (TM)

A TM is a dynamic database of your previously translated segments (sentences, phrases, headers). It recognizes repetitions and matches, so you never pay twice to translate the same content.

Key Benefits:

Faster turnaround on updates
Cost reduction through re-use
Increased consistency across projects
Maintains control over preferred phrasing
Secure and client-specific (never shared)

2. Translation Glossaries

Glossaries are controlled lists of industry-specific or brand-approved terms. They ensure your key terms (like product names, technical terms, or regulatory language) are always translated the same way.

Key Benefits:

Protects terminology across translators and projects
Helps new linguists match tone and brand
Reduces back-and-forth in review cycles
Especially useful for legal, medical, and technical clients

3. Style Guides

Style guides establish your tone, formatting, and usage preferences, so all your content reads like it came from one voice, no matter the language.

Style guides may include:

Voice/tone guidance
Formatting rules (dates, numbers, punctuation)
Local/regional compliance preferences
Regulatory or branding notes

Key Benefits:

Harmonizes voice across all markets
Simplifies QA and stakeholder review
Supports faster onboarding of linguists

4. Customized Neural Machine Translation (NMT)

NMT engines trained on your brand, industry, or document types provide faster, more reliable machine output. We fine-tune MT for domain-specific content so it’s closer to usable, right out of the gate.

How it works:

Train NMT on your TM and glossary data
Adjust for domain-specific language
Apply NMT in workflows with human review (MTPE)

Key Benefits:

Increases MT quality for your use case
Reduces editing time and cost
Scalable for high-volume or always-on needs
Private and secure so your content isn’t used for global training
