Translation management · Computer-assisted translation
One system, from the first upload to the signed-off text.
Most translation departments run a toolchain: one product for the work, another for the people, a spreadsheet for the deadlines. Jerome is a single system in which every sentence is visible, every job is planned, and every decision can be traced.
Flow view
Translate the way you write.
Segment grids suit some texts and some translators. For prose they get in the way, so many experienced translators still work in a word processor and lose the translation memory as a result.
Flow view lets the translator write the whole text as continuous prose. Jerome then aligns the draft with the source sentence by sentence, the translator confirms each pairing, and the work goes into the same segment store, memory and review as everything else.
- Leverage without interruption: repeated sentences and existing memory matches appear beside the text, but nothing is ever inserted for you.
- The draft is never rewritten. Your own prose remains the record.
- Work is safe offline. Every keystroke is kept on the device and sent on when the connection returns.
The Office supports the cantons and municipalities in implementing the new procedure. Applications must be submitted by 30 June.
Late applications will be considered only in exceptional circumstances, where the applicant can show that
Teams
Organised the way your department is.
Translators belong to teams, each with a leader and a deputy. Language pairs, working hours, subject areas and absences are part of every person's profile, so work goes to someone who can actually do it.
- Automatic cover: when a team leader is away, the deputy takes over the leader's planning duties and notifications, and hands them back the day the leader returns.
- Oversight across teams for coordinators who plan work for more than one group.
- Overview, not surveillance. Reporting shows how teams and languages are doing. Jerome deliberately offers no per-person performance league table.

Scheduling
Dates you can promise, and then keep.
Jerome plans translation, review and sign-off for every job around each person's real working week, absences and meetings, and from what has really happened: work that overran is accounted for, and work finished early frees its time.
- "When could we deliver?" Before accepting a request, a project manager gets the earliest date that breaks no commitment already made.
- Propose, then commit. A planner can review the scheduler's proposal before anything moves, and a manual placement is always respected.
- Normal hours are the rule. Overtime is only ever offered for work marked urgent that genuinely will not fit, and never booked silently.
AI assistance
AI that has read the whole document.
Machine translation works one sentence at a time, without context. Jerome first prepares a brief for each document covering subject, audience, register and key terminology, and gives that context to every suggestion, so a word means what the document means by it.
- Review sweep: AI reads the finished translation and points to inconsistencies, omissions and terminology slips, each linked to its segment.
- Terminology and memory first. Approved terms and confirmed translations take precedence over anything a model suggests.
- You decide what leaves the building. AI and machine translation can be switched off per project or per security level, and classified documents are then processed only on your own server.

Alignment and revisions
Years of translations, put back to work.
Many translations were produced outside any translation tool. When the original is amended, nothing links the old translation to the new text, and the revision is priced and translated as if it were new.
Jerome aligns an existing document with its translation in seconds, with no external service involved. It flags doubtful pairs (numbers that disagree, list items out of step, a pairing that slips and drags the rows after it) and lets a reviewer repair them in a two-column grid.
- Revisions start at 101%: when the amended version arrives, unchanged sentences are pre-filled and priced as context matches, so only real changes are translated.
- Into memory and out as TMX, for use in Jerome or any other CAT tool.
- A profile for legislation: articles, paragraphs, cross-references and amendment notes are understood rather than mistaken for prose.
Foundations
Built for organisations that answer for every word.
On your infrastructure
Runs on-premises or in a cloud of your choosing, with no change to the code. Documents, memories and audit history live in one database, backed up as one.
Security levels
Documents and translation memories carry classifications. People see only what their clearance allows, and memory never leaks from a restricted library into an open one.
Traceable
Who translated, reviewed and signed off each segment, and from which source: memory, machine, AI or a person. Sign-in with two-factor authentication and an audit log.
Open standards
Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OpenDocument files in, the same format back out. TMX for memories, TBX for terminology, XLIFF for exchange, and a bilingual review export.
Translation memory and terminology
Exact, fuzzy and context matches, repetitions, concordance, do-not-translate terms and automatic term recognition while you type.
Multilingual by design
The interface is available in English, German, French and Italian. Language pairs are configured per company, with no fixed list built in.

Jerome is in active development with working translators. Demonstrations can be arranged on request.
