ActivaTM: Matrix, Scalable, Infinite Language Database

Because of its Elastic-Search open-source origins, it has been designed in order to supersede the expensive model of server-based CAT tool providers. ActivaTM is indeed a server translation memory, but with no strings attached. As reported by Jost Zetsche in his Tool Box Journal (Internationalwriters.com), ActivaTM brings the first kind of real innovation to the CAT tool – Translation Memory environment in decades. In short, ActivaTM separates the need of every Computer Assisted Tool having its own Translation Memory. 

ou can install ActivaTM on your own server or in the cloud as a SaaS, populate it with all your own translation memories and public ones and leverage full and subsegment matches – it does not matter which translation tool created the TMX. Yes, you can mix TMs from any program, from free TMs and retrieve translation from all of them simultaneously.

Tag handling systems have been developed using intelligent, deep learning as part of our R&D program with the EU’s Expert Project. They solve many interoperability issues and different ways of handling tags. ActivaTM can be accessed from multiple translation platforms and queries simultaneously. See our online documentation (https://pangeanic-online.com/activatm/). Translators can work in a variety of translation programs and all access the same translation memory (or a set of them) remotely and instantaneously.

Better still, ActivaTM will compare all incoming material so that it will create triangular TMs. If you have translated a text from English into Chinese and from English to Japanese, presto! you also have a Chinese-Japanese translation memory. ActivaTM was first known as “ElasticTM”. It provides unknown levels of flexibility and ownership over linguistic assets at a fraction of the cost.

We have developed ActivaTM as part of our EXPERT Project, with a working grant from the European Union. ActivaTM works as a server-based fast and scalable Translation Memory Manager (TMM) with extremely advanced search and fuzzy match capabilities beyond traditional TM systems.
