Collaboration for small and medium localization teams
With SDL Studio GroupShare, your translation team can organize themselves to work simultaneously with their peers, sharing and translating projects, while benefiting from shared translation memory and terminology.
Expanding on SDL TM Server and SDL MultiTerm Server capabilities, SDL Studio GroupShare adds project sharing throughout the whole team. Existing server customers will benefit from an easy migration and instant access to powerful team-working opportunities.
Enabling complete project collaboration, now all of your translators and reviewers can access centrally shared project assets from any location without the need for project manager to distribute every file. Through SDL Trados Studio 2011, files can be checked in and out by the individual team members, reducing the administration involved in managing projects.
Comprising three powerful components for sharing:
- Translation Memories
The ability to share translation memories in a flexible and high performance way between all parties regardless of their location. - Terminology
Comprehensive terminology management for translation teams and project managers to store, manage and share terminology with internal and external translation team members. - Translation projects
An advanced project sharing platform for SDL Trados Studio users using the familiar interface they are used to.

Projects
Easy Project Management with SDL Studio GroupShare Projects
Now project managers can focus on actively managing projects to ensure timely delivery.Project Managers will find they can do far more in less time with GroupShare. The administration of setting up, monitoring and managing people and resources is dramatically reduced when teams can self-manage. Rather than organizing files, chasing progress updates and creating progress reports, they just need to make sure everything is accessible centrally. GroupShare does the hard work of monitoring progress and provides instant access to progress completion statistics.
With GroupShare Projects it is easy to distribute and manage all resources while keeping up to date with progress. Project Managers using SDL Trados Studio 2011 publish the translation project files, instead of manually distributing, collecting and chasing files by email and telephone. As translators and reviewers work, SDL Studio GroupShare will continually monitor and display progress while synchronizing translation files.
Terminology
Complete Terminology Management with SDL Studio GroupShare Terminology
Increase quality as the whole team can use the correct corporate language.Product names, search engine keywords, technical references and legal terms are all examples of terminology that must be kept consistent throughout all customer communications, all markets and in all languages. They are key to building a strong, competitive brand and ensure maximum customer satisfaction. SDL Studio GroupShare Terminology provides one central location to store and manage multilingual terminology.
By providing access to all those involved in applying terminology, such as writers, engineers, marketers, translators and terminologists, GroupShare Terminology ensures consistent and high-quality content from source through to translation. This avoids the need to share terminology via e-mail with other content creators in different departments, or with other translators, in the form of spreadsheets which can be impossible to manage.
Based on the reliable and proven SDL MultiTerm technology, everyone can access the terms relevant to them, from one central location, thanks to GroupShare Terminology. Client/server and web technology allows access to terminology at any time, ensuring that the most up-to-date terms, are available from anywhere in the world.
GroupShare Terminology integration with SDL Trados Studio significantly optimizes the translation process with real-time verification of multilingual terminology. Translators can automatically apply, edit or add terminology in one familiar environment. This helps improve the efficiency of the translation process and promotes high-quality translated content.
