Pangeanic awarded contract for the National European Central Translation Memory Data Platform

Pangeanic will work towards the creation of the National European Central Translation Memory Data Platform (NEC TM DATA), a project awarded by the European Commission.

This ambitious project will promote the flow of translation memories from translation companies to public administrations.

1. A central pan-European Translation Memory-sharing platform, where TMs will be shared directly among Public Administrations, translation companies, and translation professionals working on translations for the public sector;
2. Versions of NEC TM at national level so Member States can organize their language resources, categorize and classify them, as well as apply industry practices (fuzzy matching) to translation contracts;
3. An online, collaborative translation memory to which translation companies can connect while translating, with automatic updating of each translated phrase;
4. The creation of a pan-European data-sharing awareness campaign, promoting better data-sharing practices in translation contracts between public administrations and translation service providers.

Pan-European Data-Sharing Awareness Campaign

In short, what are the three main objectives of the NEC TM DATA Platform?

• to build a data bridge between public administrations and translation service providers
• to promote the free flow of data between public administrations and translation professionals
• to act as a bridge between ELRC and European data-gathering efforts and national digital data gathering efforts
