How it works

A translation request is sent from a client to a server running PROMT® Translation Server 8.0 Intranet Edition and, depending on the load, is either forwarded for translation or placed in a queue. All processing is performed automatically on the same physical server, which operates independently without human intervention. The data exchange between clients and translation server uses HTTP protocol for intranet compatibility and to provide access to the system both from within the local network and from remote offices and trusted partners.

Any web browser (Microsoft® Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera) can be used for the client application on the user's workstation; no additional software is required. The system is ready for use as soon as it has been installed, and can be accessed by any user with the appropriate rights and privileges. A number of plug-ins for Windows® applications are included with the system, enabling users to translate text right inside their preferred applications, such as Microsoft Word.
