  8. Why Join • Pooling data, pooling investments • Individually, companies do not have sufficient language data and funding to significantly upgrade efficiency and performance of translation activities. • TDA puts an end to a fragmented market place. • Increase productivity • Leveraging larger volumes of shared industry data helps companies to increase productivity. • In-domain MT engines can increase productivity by 50% or more. • Pay-back period on member fees is very short, even in case of small translation budgets. • Seize new business opportunities • Vendors of translation services and technologies can improve their technologies and solutions and develop new value-added services and specialization. • Buyers of translation can use existing translations to enter new locales more rapidly. • Improve quality • Transparency of language data helps to improve the translation quality and consistency of terminology. • Collaborate and innovate • Collaboration in TDA industry groups helps companies to establish a highly efficient translation operating system and stimulate localization business innovation.

  9. TDA Member Pilot Projects • Advanced – rerun of CTS study • 75-100% matches – approx. 30% of segments in a zero assets scenario • Advanced – weighted word count approach leveraging against the same data set used for the CTS study • Average 35% reduction in weighted word count in zero assets scenario • Average 50% reduction in weighted word count in limited assets scenario • NB: translators have not checked usefulness of matches www.tausdata.org/index.php/news/news/70-profit-of-sharing-up-to-50
