What is Latis?
Latis is an open-source computer-aided translation (CAT) tool developed by Kilgray Translation Technologies. It is designed to help professional translators and translation agencies work more efficiently and deliver high-quality translations.
Key features of Latis include:
- Translation Memory - Stores previously translated content to suggest matches when you translate similar text, reducing repetition.
- Terminology Management - Centralized glossaries ensure consistency in your terminology.
- Quality Assurance Checks - Finds common errors like double words, inconsistent terminology, etc.
- Project Management - Assign resources, track progress, estimate costs for translation projects.
- Various File Format Support - Supports translation of many file types including PDF, Microsoft Office, XML, HTML, etc.
As an open-source tool, Latis offers a no-cost alternative to some commercial systems used by translators. It can help improve productivity and enable collaboration across translation teams. The open-source development model also allows custom integrations and improvements over time.
