Translation Management System

Stop Managing Translation in Spreadsheets

Put everyone on the same page. See what's in progress, who's working on what, and what's costing what—all in one place.

No spreadsheets needed Shared glossaries & TM Track costs per team

Sound Familiar?

Managing translations without a TMS is chaos. Here's what teams deal with every day:

Email Hell

"Where's the latest version?" "Did you get my file?" Endless email threads, lost attachments, version confusion.

Spreadsheet Chaos

Tracking projects in Google Sheets. Manually updating statuses. No real-time visibility into who's doing what.

No Accountability

"Who was supposed to review this?" No clear ownership, no task tracking, no way to know if you're on schedule.

Cost Mystery

No idea what each team is spending. Surprise invoices. Can't tell which projects are eating the budget.

Taia puts everything in one place—so you can actually see what's happening.

Case Study

How Hyundai Cut Translation Time by 60%+ With Taia TMS

From Word documents and email chaos to organized workflow in 20 minutes

60%+
Time savings on technical docs
20 min
Onboarding time (not weeks)
50-75%
Cost savings with Translation Memory

The Problem:

Hyundai's technical trainer was translating automotive training materials in Word. Specialized vocabulary, constant updates, but not enough volume to hire a full-time translator.

"We'd spend countless hours onboarding external agencies on our processes and terminology. By the time they learned it, the project was over."

The Taia Solution:

  • 20-minute onboarding: No lengthy training, no complicated setup
  • Translation Memory builds automatically: Every translation saved and reused
  • Custom glossary for auto terminology: All abbreviations and technical terms pre-loaded
  • No external agencies needed: In-house translator handles everything in Taia

"I have been using Taia regularly for some time now and the quality it provides is really good. The style and accuracy with which my technical documents were translated were exactly to my expectations. I was really impressed with their team who worked closely with me to further develop the software. It is super simple to learn and use."

— Aleksander Stojanović, Technical Trainer at Hyundai Avto Trade

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Translation Management Systems

What is a Translation Management System (TMS)?

A Translation Management System is software that centralizes translation workflows—replacing email threads and spreadsheets with one platform for project visibility, translator collaboration, and cost tracking. It's mission control for all your translation work.

Why do I need a TMS instead of managing translations in email?

Emails create version chaos. Files get lost, translators work on outdated versions, and nobody knows the project status. A TMS gives you real-time visibility, shared glossaries, translation memory, and centralized file management—so everyone works from one source of truth.

Can I use Taia's TMS with my existing translators?

Yes! Invite your translators via email. They get a dedicated workspace to view assignments, download files, upload translations, and see project context—no more confusing email threads. You can also use Taia's ISO-certified translators for projects.

How does translation memory save money?

Translation Memory stores every approved translation. When you translate similar content (product updates, legal clauses, FAQs), Taia reuses those phrases—giving you 50-75% cost savings and perfect consistency across all content.

What's the difference between AI translation and professional translation in Taia?

AI translation gives you fast drafts for internal docs. Professional translation adds human review by ISO 17100-certified linguists for public-facing content. You can choose MTPE (AI + human editing) for cost-effective quality, or full TEP (three linguists: translator, editor, proofreader) for maximum accuracy. Switch between them with one click—no separate platforms.

Can teams with different roles collaborate in Taia?

Yes. Assign roles like Project Manager, Translator, Reviewer, or Client. Each role has tailored permissions—managers see cost tracking and deadlines, translators see assignments and context, clients view progress. Everyone stays in sync.

How do I track translation costs across projects?

Taia shows real-time cost breakdowns by project, language pair, and translator. Export reports for budgeting and invoicing. No more spreadsheet math—just instant visibility into what you've spent and what's pending.

Is my translation data secure and private?

Yes. All data is GDPR-compliant, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never used for training AI models. We're ISO 17100:2015 certified. Your Translation Memory and glossaries are private to your account only.
