"Memory of a translator", or What is Translation Memory. tm and tm-sidchi program: description of personal experience

"The TM-Sidhi program is the stabilization of an aspect of the infinite organizing power of pure consciousness."

Maharishi

TM-Sidhi Program Course

The TM-Sidhi program is an advanced program in Maharishi Vedic Science and Technology. The TM-Sidhi program is a natural extension of the Transcendental Meditation Technique and Advanced Techniques and can be learned no earlier than two months after all Advanced Techniques have been taught.

If the Transcendental Meditation Technique opens the mind to the experience of experiencing transcendental consciousness (“waking at rest”), then the TM-Sidhi Program develops the ability to think and act from this level of consciousness. Thanks to the TM-Sidhi Program, a person masters the art of action - gains the ability to do anything naturally and effortlessly with the help of only intention. Therefore, the TM-Sidhi Program is also called the "technique for the fulfillment of desires."

The TM-Sidhi program further develops mental and creative abilities, intuition, increases the ability to learn and the flexibility of the nervous system. According to scientific research, the practice of TM-Sidhi leads to an even higher degree of brain coherence and greater integration between mind and body.

So called "yogic flights"- this is the culmination of the TM-Sidhi Program, the opening of the Field of all Possibilities before each person.

Let's see what Maharishi Mahesh Yogi himself says about human potential:

“The Vedic system of getting something is to stimulate the Complete Natural Law to fulfill any desire. According to the Vedic system of mind cultivation, the Complete Natural Law is under our command. To cultivate the mind, lead your consciousness to the source of thought. The memory of everything wakes up in your consciousness from this area of ​​unmanifested emptiness. The infinite creative mind supports your desires, actions and behavior.

Transcendental Meditation trains the mind to consciously start thought from the self-reversed Unified Field, the field of Complete Natural Law within the individual himself. From there we fulfill the wish. This is a different philosophy.

To teach a man to do something and give him so much money is the philosophy of slavery. Then you give him more money and he will do this. This is the science of slavery, the philosophy of dependence. "Your obedient servant - how wonderful - I am, sir, your obedient servant." You remain a man's servant for a few thousand coins every month, and then you can buy yourself fruit and so on.

You can train your mind so that the Complete Natural Law that governs the Universe becomes an assistant in the fulfillment of your desires. The proof of this is "yogic flights". You invite the force of gravity, and the force of gravity says, "Yes sir, I'm here for you." You appeal to the force of gravity - and immediately the force of gravity fulfills your request. If you want the body to rise into the air, the body immediately rises.

This is proof. We're not talking about fantasies. Vedic education is a practical field of education. We have seen that modern education builds more ignorance than knowledge. Vedic education increases knowledge until you have access to the full knowledge of creativity - the infinite potential of Natural Law. This is something completely different, but this is exactly what we offer.».

“The various siddhis, which in times of ignorance were called superhuman abilities, are not superhuman at all. All within the normal range of human ability. The range of each person's own nature is all cosmic life, because it has the same nature... So far, the philosophy of wish fulfillment has been struggle... Now we must awaken humanity to a new philosophy of life... Success lies in interaction with nature and nature is man's own nature. The more you are able to control yourself, the more you are able to control the world.”

Refreshment Course of the TM-Sidhi Program

The TM-Sidhi Program Refresh Course is an opportunity to re-listen to Maharishi's introductory lectures from the TM-Sidhi Course and brush up on his personal instructions for this technique. During the course, TM-Sidhi Teachers also check the correctness of the TM-Sidhi technique and individual consultations with each of the participants.

Feedback from course participants

“The Sidhi Refresh course is very important to me. I learned how to practice the Sutras of Patanjali correctly. On the first day of the course, I gained invaluable experience in testing the practice of the TM-Sidhi program. The verification of the correctness of the practice of the sutras was carried out personally by Maharishi. It was an unusually deep and important experience. Thanks to TM-Sidhi Administrators Ajit Kumar and Nisha Kumari" (Irina Roginskaya).

“As a result of the course of refreshing TM-Sidhi, all the sutras were restored, they were ordered, the practice was also restored. This greatly helps the process of meditation and the fulfillment of the TM-Sidhi program in fullness and obtaining bliss and happiness. (Marina Beschasnova).

“The course was very helpful in understanding the TM-Sidhi technique and understanding its intellectual aspect, remembering the sutras and comprehending them.
Very informative, practically useful for the qualitative implementation of the TM-Sidhi program, which means the development of consciousness. (Alexander Viktorovich Likhogrud).

“The course is very informative and productive. Inside there was calmness, peace from the programs. Regularity and innocence. Thanks to the Teachers for the invaluable knowledge they bring to the world. Thank you Maharishi for these waves of bliss.” Irina Bukharina).

“The sutras began to shoot like bullets from a gun, and this in itself was a great happiness. The practice of the sutras has been renewed. Even meditation has changed, for the better, of course.” (Irina Kraineva, Teacher TM).

TM-Sidhi Program Practice Support Program

The TM-Sidhi Program Practice Support Program is a club session during which participants who have completed the TM-Sidhi Program Training Course do the TM-Sidhi Program together.

Once, to a request addressed to him for some more technique, Maharishi replied:
"You have another super technique - to be together, work together and do the program together."

Maharishi has repeatedly emphasized the importance of collective meditation both for personal evolution, in terms of moving as quickly as possible to the realization of the full potential of Consciousness, and for achieving Invincibility and prosperity for all peoples.

If you are interested in any program, you can check the necessary information in your regional Transcendental Meditation Training Center.

“The scientific era had to come in order for the world to appreciate the philosophy of Yoga and its practical significance in creating a holistic personality, a single country and a lasting world peace. "Yoga" means "oneness" - the union of the individual consciousness with the unified field of all the laws of nature in the transcendental consciousness. Yogic flying demonstrates the ability of a person to operate from the level of the unified field and activate the full potential of natural law in all its manifestations - in the mind, body, behavior and environment. Yogic flights represent in miniature the flight of galaxies in outer space, united and ideally ordered by natural law. The coordination of mind and body, which manifests itself in yogic flying, shows that consciousness and its expression - physiology - are in perfect harmony.

Maharishi

What is the TM-Sidhi program?

The TM-Sidhi program is a natural extension of Transcendental Meditation. It can be learned after two months of regular TM practice and the Advanced TM Techniques course. The practice of the TM-Sidhi program accelerates the development of the full potential of a person - the achievement of the state of enlightenment.

The Transcendental Meditation technique promotes the attainment of transcendental consciousness, the source of thought, and the TM-Sidhi program develops the ability to think and act from this level of self-reversed pure consciousness. Thanks to the TM-Sidhi program, thoughts and actions of their own accord begin to come into harmony with the evolutionary power of natural law, and a person masters the art of action - gains the ability to fulfill his desires naturally and effectively, while simultaneously supporting the evolution of all people and the entire surrounding world.

Beneficial results at the individual level

The TM-Sidhi program develops mental and creative abilities, increases the ability to learn and the flexibility of the nervous system. According to scientific research, the practice of the TM-Sidhi program leads to a high degree of integration of the brain, which is expressed, for example, in growth EEG coherence. The experience of pure consciousness during the practice of TM-Sidhi maintains the optimal functional state of the brain and creates the basis for unlocking the full creative potential of a person.

EEG coherence during yogic flying

One aspect of the TM-Sidhi program is called "yogic flying". In the first stage of yogic flying, the body rises into the air and moves forward in short hops. At this moment, a person feels joy, lightness and bliss. An EEG study shows that at the moment the body leaves the ground, the coherence of brain waves reaches a maximum. This high coherence of brain activity leads to the perfect coordination of mind and body, of which yogic flying is an expression. When people practice yogic flying in a group, the influence of coherence extends to everything around, which leads to a decrease in negative tendencies and contributes to the growth of positive, harmonious tendencies in the life of the whole society.

Practical results: comprehensive evidence-based benefits of the TM-Sidhi program

  1. So far, over 80,000 people around the world have studied the TM-Sidhi program. This program, like Transcendental Meditation, brings comprehensive practical evidence-based results. Those who have studied the TM-Sidhi program often report that it enhances the effects of Transcendental Meditation in terms of promoting health, increasing feelings of happiness, and developing the ability to make the best use of circumstances to achieve a desired goal.
  2. Over 600 scientific studies conducted in more than 250 universities and research institutes in 33 countries confirm the beneficial effects of Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi program on the psycho-physiological state and behavior of the individual, as well as on the whole society as a whole.
  3. The group practice of the TM-Sidhi program brings even greater benefits to each individual and to the whole society. More than 40 scientific studies have shown that even a small group of people - approximately Square root from one percent of the population (town, city, country, world) - by carrying out this program together, creates a powerful influence of coherence, harmony and order in the collective consciousness of the entire population. This phenomenon is called the "Maharshi effect" after Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who predicted it forty years ago.
  4. Studies show a decrease in the level of crime, morbidity and the number of accidents, as well as a decrease in the intensity of international conflicts and social tensions. Time series analysis showed that during the three experimental "peace assemblies" held in Fairfield (USA) in December 1983 - January 1984, in Holland in December 1984 - January 1985 and in Washington in July 1985, when the number of participants in the group TM and TM-Sidhi programs approached or exceeded 7,000 people (approximately the square root of one percent of the world's population), there was a significant decrease in the intensity of international conflicts around the world. In addition, according to independent statistics, the number of injured and killed as a result of international terrorist attacks decreased by an average of 72% during these assemblies.

Reducing the intensity of international conflicts

“I have a simple comment about the TM technique: it is undoubtedly the best thing that has come into my life, I recommend the TM technique to everyone.

I meditate twice a day for twenty minutes in the morning and in the evening. Morning meditation gives me energy and mental clarity. It allows me to start the day in a good mood, feeling more energetic as my brain is always rested. I enjoy work. Those situations that previously caused discontent and irritation now provide an incentive. And, what can be emphasized, everything happens naturally, and I feel happier and more complete.

Another thing I noticed, and it seemed to me interesting: intuition develops and, along with it, self-confidence. It is both necessary and pleasant both at work and in personal life. When I return from work and meditate, I feel the heaviness and fatigue of the day dissolve, a feeling of inner comfort and deep peace comes. I spend a pleasant evening with family and friends.

If I look at myself from the moment I took up TM, and if I compare myself to what I was before, it is day and night. I felt bad, I was tense, now I'm in great shape and happy. I accept everything as it is (but more often good things come). My health is excellent, and life takes place in some new dimension. The word bliss may seem pompous, but it is the one that best describes what I feel. And more importantly, my practice of TM has a positive impact on the environment and the whole society, that it contributes to peace.

And to finish, I want to express my gratitude to the Maharishi and the TM teachers, whose efforts contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of each individual and society as a whole."

Pavel, 38 years old, businessman.

"When I heard about the positive results that TM gives, I decided that I could also get something for myself. I needed a rest, because lately I felt tired from work, from life in general. I started doing TM, and the results were immediate. I felt rested, satisfied inside. My work became more efficient and joyful. In a word, I felt healthier. Yes, it was really a significant change. I continue to practice TM and get great benefits from it. After a few weeks of such classes, I realized that the effect of meditation far exceeds expectations.What happens?With the practice of meditation, you begin to perceive the world in a new way, it raises you to new, more high levels consciousness. Life takes on a deeper, richer meaning. And this is exactly the most valuable thing that a person can ever receive.



Natasha, 28 years old, insurance agent.

"I am the mother of a large family, constantly in the cares and problems of children. I appreciated the unique opportunity to be at one with myself every morning and every evening.

TM gives me energy, good inner health, new strength. And, as a result, I am more open to children and my husband, homework is less tiring, I enjoy this work. And I also noticed a huge change in the family since I practice TM: the atmosphere has become very soft and cordial between us all, there is love and respect. It's wonderful - to feel good mood and harmony reigning in the house, there is no tension that existed before. TM is very beneficial for each and every one of us."

Ekaterina, 43 years old, housewife.

"When I started meditating, I wasn't interested in much. But when I found out about TM, I thought it was something new that could open up new horizons. It's great that it happened. From the moment I started meditating, I felt happy and I wanted to learn I took up languages, history and geography I told my wife and son about it and said that it was a mental empowerment for everyone I think TM should be taught in schools so that everyone can use it use, it would be more interesting for schoolchildren to study and learn about themselves."



Valentin, 39 years old, worker.

"I started meditating before exams because I felt the need to relax and take nervous tension that took over me.

Many of my acquaintances practiced TM, and I noticed that they became more calm, balanced, more smiling and energetic than everyone else. I trained and the results appeared immediately. Sleep improved, I got up fresh, in a good mood. The exams didn't seem so boring. I got to work and everything went great. I did well in my exams without any worries.

Now I practice regularly and it seems to me that my mind has become more alert and faster. Knowledge attracts me, life has become happier and richer. Friends say that I have become more open and likable. It's always good to hear. I realized that TM can be practiced. You are not required to have faith, you are not required to have philosophical knowledge of a particular way of life. If you want to deepen the knowledge of Vedic Science, that is your choice, but TM is not a sect, not a new religion that is trying to take over you. It is absolutely simple and natural way improve the quality of life so that everyone can feel better and that everyone can develop. Plus, if this method helps to improve the international environment and lighten the atmosphere, that's great and no one can complain about it!"

Zhanna, 22 years old, student.

"I started meditating for a very simple reason. My doctor advised me to do it in order to improve my physical and mental condition. I won't go into details. Let me just say that it was quite serious. Already on the day of training, I felt a huge relief, it was like a lot of sadness and tiredness had been lifted off me.It's like the sun coming out after long gray and rainy days!I will never forget my wife's face when I came back from training.It was glowing, it seemed to bloom.I asked what happened.And she answered :"You haven't smiled the way you do now for many years!" Now my wife also meditates and it's a great joy for us to share our experience with each other"

Nikolay, 47 years old, architect.

"I love to meditate, I am joyful and light inside. I have good grades in school, I remember faster."

Sasha, 12 years old, schoolboy.

"You can talk a lot about the benefits of practicing TM. I feel better, more calm and relaxed. Life becomes easier and more enjoyable, everything seems to flow spontaneously and effortlessly, closer and closer to harmony and bliss. You feel the results of TM immediately - this is a great advantage, deep rest, inner peace and, most wonderfully, a development towards a higher state of consciousness, a realization of oneself in which one fully blossoms, in which one is free and happy. which has no equal - to live in harmony and joy!"

Maria, 28 years old, doctor.

"Over time, the experience becomes deeper. The transcendental state becomes more clear, such that I begin to notice the structure, the structure of this absolute mass of pure being. The silence is both dense and infinite. Everything is guided by this very clear knowledge: "I am this, everything is expression of my very existence."

My heart is filled with love, I look at the world with a calm and clear mind. My meditations are filled with gentle light, pleasant warmth. I really live at the level where everything is possible, in the realm of all possibilities. Perception becomes more and more clear. In meditation, I notice the different levels of the Universe that arise from pure consciousness. I am aware of the structure of consciousness that starts from itself: ego, intellect, mind, feelings appear. And the feeling of supreme tenderness, unity with being, life, nature prevails in this experience. I feel like a child in the hands of Mother Nature.

Returning to activity provides a rich and enjoyable experience. I am completely immersed in silence and, as it were, protected by it. When I talk about the silence that surrounds me, this does not mean that I have become deaf, on the contrary! Never did sounds and colors seem so bright and harmonious to me, I have never heard this Earthly melody of the Universe as if the whole Universe is an echo of a cosmic symphony.

I know that best opportunity to help your neighbor is to develop yourself in order to acquire the means to bring him true help on the level of life, and not only on the level of words and intentions. The greatest and most precious gift is to learn how to meditate and have the experience of meeting the source of infinite energy, the mind of creativity that is in each of us and which is the only key to a life free from problems and suffering.

Irina, 32 years old, TM teacher

“For me, the question of the soul has always been more important than the question of the body. “A healthy mind in a healthy body,” this well-known ancient Greek saying has a reverse meaning for us. If the soul is sick and languishing, is it up to worries about the body? And where can she, poor thing, find peace when all the old attitudes, ideals and ideas are collapsing, when you don’t know which gods to pray and why, what to believe in, what parties to create, how to solve economic problems. "experimenting on yourself is difficult and dangerous. Life may not be enough, especially since it does not become longer from numerous shocks. Coming to the TM courses, I already knew that meditation is a method of finding peace and clarity within oneself. You can get away from the hustle and bustle world in silence and loneliness on the mountains and find this peace and clarity, but few people can afford it! Gradually, answers come to those questions that you ask yourself and at the level you are ready for."

Olga, 36 years old, journalist.

"Since I have been practicing TM, optimism has increased in my life. I think that it is thanks to meditation that there are no other obvious reasons. It is like a ray of light in the dark. I really want to live and create. I have stopped visiting a bad mood. During everyone, even the smallest, sees the good.Everyday problems are less of a concern, although they have not become less, on the contrary.They have lost their "importance", you kind of become their observer.What else, I would like to say - you solve any problems not on an emotional, but at the Business level."

Oksana, 23 years old, teacher.

“Like many of us, I used to worry about literally everything. It was just that my hands fell from the inability to protect ourselves and our loved ones from the endless economic and political cataclysms of our lives. To be honest, I often wanted to “relax” with the help of alcohol. Nervous overload and alcohol did My business: I often had stomach and heart aches. A year and a half of TM practice has made me much calmer. I am less interested in politics, but it is easier to solve those problems that depend on me personally. Before, I was tormented by doubts. Now I make a decision, start acting, and only in In the process, I remember: “But at this moment I would definitely have worried before.” As for health, I didn’t even notice how gastritis and aching pain in my heart stopped bothering me. They just don’t exist and that’s all.

Sergey, 28 years old, engineer.

"When a friend took me to the introductory lecture on TM, I was in a very bad state. Everything annoyed me, I constantly quarreled with my husband and son. They avoided being at home for a long time, everyone lived their own lives, and I was very lonely. The first two month, when I sat down to meditate, I did not find peace, resentment and irritation boiled in me, like water in a kettle.But after 20 minutes of meditation, the irritation that had accumulated during the day “came out” of me, and I met my dear ones more and more often. men with a smile. I realized that many quarrels in our family came from me, my shattered nervous system almost destroyed my family. Now that I have a calm and joyful mood, my men do not "run away" from home and more and more often they come friends, bask in the warmth of our home."

Tamara, 26 years old, office worker.

TM Sidhi Program

The following sutras are used:

Friendliness
Kindness
Happiness
elephant power
Bronchial tube
Inner Light
The sun
moon
polar Star
Trachea
Navel
The difference between intelligence and transcendence
Transcendence [and] intuition
Transcendence, subtle hearing
Transcendence, subtlest touch
Transcendence, subtlest vision
Transcendence, the finest taste
Transcendence, the subtlest sense of smell.

The "levitation" or "flight" sutra is used in the same way as the previous sutras:

"The relation between the body and Akasha is the lightness of the cotton fiber"("Relationship of body and akasha - lightness of cotton fiber")

The sutras begin to mentally repeat after twenty minutes of TM (transcendental meditation). Each sutra is repeated twice (if time allows - 4 times), with a 15 second pause between each repetition.

After completing the flight sutra for 5-30 minutes, one should rest for 5-30 minutes (depending on the time of the "flight block") and then read the Hindu scriptures for 5 minutes.

An example of such a reading (from the 9th mandala of the Rig Veda):

Flowing Soma, in the sweetest and most exciting stream, expired for the drink of Indra. The all-beholding destroyer Rakshasa stepped into his gold-struck birthplace, united with a wooden barrel. Be generous giver of wealth, most generous, destroyer of enemies; grant us an influx of wealth. We sacrifice food to mighty gods and give us strength and daily bread. To you we come, O oozing (Soma); you only our worship day after day, our prayers to you, no one else

There were also "invisibility" sutras, and so on. but for the elite and, of course, for a lot of money. In the mid 70's Maharishi experimented with fasting, diet, abstinence, asanas, pranayama and finally with the "sutras of the Rulers" on his 6 month course students. True, these sutras are not currently sold, as are many advanced TM techniques, because when practiced, it is clearly seen that their effectiveness is zero.

Sutras of the "Rulers"

Since morning

Desired effect

Name, form, idea Understanding of all languages ​​(languages ​​of people, animals, sacred, etc.)
body contour Invisibility
Three changes Knowledge of the past and future
five forms Control of the elements - the appearance, disappearance and creation of any object, as well as the ability to become very small or huge, weightlessness of the body, touching the moon with your fingertips, the ability to pass through walls, the earth.
Thoughts Reading other people's minds

More "Sanskritized" sutras were also used: instead of "the difference between the intellect and transcendence", "Buddhi and Purusha" were used, "transcendence, the subtlest hearing" - "Akasha, the subtlest hearing".

Speaking of automated translation, they usually mean programs that translate based on Machine Translation technology. However, there is another technology - Translation Memory, which, although not so widely known to Russian users, nevertheless has a number of advantages.

The rapid development of technological progress has led to an increase in the number technical devices, machines and other complex equipment, without which life modern man practically unthinkable. For example, the documentation for a European Airbus aircraft runs into tens of thousands of pages. According to a study conducted at the end of 2004 by the LISA association (LISA 2004 Translation Memory Survey), 42% of respondents translate about 1 million words a year, 24% of companies participating in the survey have an annual volume of translations of 1-5 million, 12 % translate from 5 to 10 million, the volume of translations of other companies - from 10 to 500 and more million words per year. In particular, most manufacturers today are not limited to their local market and are actively developing regional markets. At the same time, product localization, including the translation of product descriptions into the local language, is one of the mandatory conditions to enter a new market.

At the same time, although manufacturers regularly release new versions of their products - cars, excavators, computers and mobile phones, software, - not all of them are fundamentally different from previous models. Sometimes new model phone is a slightly modified (or restyled) previous model. New versions sell better, so manufacturers have to update their products regularly. As a result, the documentation for each of these products is often 70-90% identical to that of the previous version.

Two factors - the large volume of documents requiring translation and their high frequency - served as an incentive to create Technology Translation Memory (abbreviated as TM, there is no generally accepted Russian translation of this term). The essence of TM technology can be figuratively conveyed in one phrase: "Do not translate the same text twice." In other words, Translation Memory is used to reuse previous translations. This allows you to seriously reduce the time for preparing a translation, especially when working with texts that have a high degree of repetition.

Translation Memory technology is often confused with Machine Translation, which, of course, is also useful and interesting, but its description is not the purpose of this article. The use of TM technology increases the speed of translation by reducing the amount of mechanical work. However, it is important to note that TM does not translate for the translator, but is a powerful tool for reducing costs when translating repetitive texts.

The TM technology works on the principle of accumulating translation results: during the translation process, the original text and its translation are stored in the TM database. To facilitate the processing of information and comparison of different documents, the Translation Memory system breaks the entire text into separate pieces, which are called segments. These segments are most often offers, but other segmentation rules can be adopted. When a new text is loaded, the TM system performs segmentation and compares the source text segments with those already available in the connected translation memory. If the system can find a fully or partially matching segment, then its translation is displayed with an indication of the match in percent. Segments that differ from the stored text are highlighted. Thus, the translator only needs to translate new segments and edit overlapping ones.

As a rule, the threshold of matches is set at a level not lower than 75%, since if you set a lower percentage of matches, then the cost of editing the text will increase. Every change or new translation is saved in the TM, so there is no need to translate the same thing twice!

It is also important to constantly replenish the Translation Memory database, keeping in the database (or in the databases, if the translation is carried out on various topics) pairs of segments “source text - correct translation". This will significantly reduce the time needed to translate similar texts. In addition to reducing the complexity of translation, the TM system allows you to maintain the unity of terminology and style in all documentation.

The use of TM technology provides the translator with the following advantages:

  • increase in labor productivity. Substituting even 80% of the matching segments from the translation memory can reduce the time spent on translation by 50-60%. As practice shows, it is much more efficient to edit an already finished translation than to translate again - "from scratch";
  • unity of terminology and style in the presence of a translation base on the subject of the document being translated. This is especially important when translating highly specialized documentation;
  • organizing the work of a team of translators with guaranteed quality of translation due to access to a common database of Translation Memory.

Separately, we note that in Western countries, where the Translation Memory technology has long become a de facto indispensable tool for a translator, the funds spent on creating a translation database are not considered as costs, but rather as investments in stable and high-quality work, which increases not only only profit, but also the value of the company itself.

Market of Translation Memory Systems

The undisputed leader in the market of Translation Memory systems are SDL-TRADOS programs. In the summer of 2005, the two largest developers of TM systems, SDL and TRADOS, merged ( software products under the brand name TRADOS are well known to many users), and now they are releasing a joint product that sets the standards in the field of Translation Memory.

The new SDL-TRADOS system has advanced (customizable) functionality fuzzy matching (search by matches in the translation database), as well as tools for checking the quality of translated documents. The program checks spelling and protects the contents of memory blocks using encryption technology.

The system supports Word DOC and RTF, online help RTF, PowerPoint, FrameMaker, FrameMaker +SGML, FrameBuilder, Interleaf, QuickSilver, Ventura, QuarkXPress, PageMaker, SGML/HTML/XML, including HTML Help, RC (Windows Resource) , Bookmaster (DCF) and Troff. In addition to the SDL-TRADOS system, there are other TM systems on the IT market. French manufacturers are especially well represented.

The system of the French company Atril (www.atril.com) is called. Its developers first organized their own technical documentation translation bureau, after which the idea arose to create specialized software based on Translation Memory technology.

This is a standalone application with a systematic menu. The system can create TM databases, as well as terminology databases and connect dictionaries. The translation process is carried out in a special Project shell, where, when it is created, the file to be translated is attached, and additional settings: TM base, dictionaries, etc. The text is translated in a special table, where opposite each column of its original, you need to fill in the translation option. The benefits also include additional function to translate files of various formats, which allows you to keep the original formatting of the file.
