Technology and Translation Tools used at DIAMECS Engineering, Ltd.

Total quality in translation is impossible without using and constantly improving of translation toolkits.

From the very beginning we have paid special attention to quality, retaining high overall speed of translation. This is why we started developing our own translation toolkits to facilitate translation. First of them were rather simple, allowing automated search and translation of duplicate phrases and sentences.

As a result of constant improving and perfecting of our technologies, we have developed a powerful non-commercial translation system with enhanced functionality.
