The branch tourism mainly deals with consultancy fpr tourist organisation and companies in the area of eTourism and eMarketing.
Customers Vega, Ziehl-Abbegg or EDQM use Araya translation tools successfully for optimising their translation process. Based on his experiences in the translation and localisation area Dr. Waldhör developed Araya. This tool is constructed in a modular way and consists of several components, which are based on standards like TMX, XLIFF or TBX. Cernel applications of Araya are a Translation Memory System, which supports different SQL databases, various converters and a phrase translator combined with an easy to use translation editor.

Since 2004 Dr. Waldhör is active in the area of tourism, esp. in eTourism. His experiences come from his job as director and scientific manager of Krems Research. He researched and developed systems for analysing the social web (blogs, evaluations forums etc.) and recommendation systems (e.g. for recommending hotels in a destination). But also applying language and speech technology was a kernel topic. He won the prestigious Voice Award 2007 with the project "OrangeLine" for the best German speech application. He also developed concepts for the hotel room of the future which resulted in the implementation of the Future Hotelroom Lab in Krems.
 For testing purposes the free version of the Araya XLIFF Editor can be used. Here you can download the free version of the Araya XLIFF Editor. |
05.11.2008 - 07.11.2008: TEKOM: Dr. Waldhör has given many presentations on the OpenTMS prototype at the booth of Acolada/Beo/euroscript/Mai/... and explained the architecture of this open source TM system. The visitors were very impressed. Dr. Waldhör implemented the XML-RPC based server backend. The backend itself uses the successful Araya server to run the translation requests. The implementation is quite generic so that other TMS systems can be attached to the system too.

06.09.2008: FOLT - OpenTMS Architecture: Dr. Waldhör has developed a first architecture proposal for FOLT for the OpenTMS system which is currently under development.

Goals of FOLT taken from the FOLT Website: "Forum Open Language Tools (FOLT) is a forum and working group of service providers in the field of translation and documentation. Basic objectives of FOLT are the support of standardised exchange formats, non-proprietary software and trialling new translation technologies and methods. We are concerned with the overall workflow of multi-lingual documentation. From generation of the original text to production of texts in the target languages, highlighting any defects or lack of standards in the processes.
