• Libellex is a platform for easy management of corporate multilingual texts, for any user throughout the company. The user interface is simple and intuitive, and no training is necessary. Access is provided via a browser through the company intranet. Libellex is marketed as a client/server (Windows); it is installed on the customer’s premises. Aside from the usual hardware maintenance, Libellex requires a part-time linguistic administrator, who can be either an internal translator or an assistant, and whose training will take a single day.

• Similis is a software translation tool for professional translators, whether they work freelance, for a Language Service Provider, or in the translation department of a large corporation. It is based on the technology of translation memories (TMs) and is marketed as a standalone or server (Windows). A professional translator will master Similis after a one-day training session.
