Configuring a Local TM

Use the My TM dialog to configure your local Translation Memories. Alchemy PUBLISHER uses Alchemy LANGUAGE EXCHANGE/EXPRESS Edition to provide a high performance Translation Memory that is stored on your desktop PC.

Unlike traditional TM solution, which store only text-based segments, Alchemy PUBLISHER stores any translatable asset. This includes document layout information, screen shots, graphical objects such as bitmaps and JPEGs and of course text segment data. This makes it ideal for handling the diversity of today's highly graphical web sites and technical publications.

Alchemy LANGUAGE EXCHANGE/EXPRESS is designed using Microsoft SQL Server technology so has almost limitless storage potential and can scale with the demands of any project.

Alchemy LANGUAGE EXCHANGE/Express is a desktop bound TM and cannot be shared. You should upgrade to Alchemy LANGUAGE EXCHANGE/ENTERPRISE Edition which is a high performance shared TM solution. Contact you Alchemy Sales Representative for more details on how to upgrade to this solution.
