The Problem
The protection of sensitive personal information in the translation process needs to address several issues.
First of all, how to protect data in translation files without exposing it to being retained in translation memories and bilingual files in a translation project.
Secondly, how to remove it from translation memories when it has already been stored.
And lastly how to retain awareness of who translated what without exposing data that is held in system fields and custom fields by the translation tools.
The Solution
The Trados Data Protection Suite combines two existing applications - project Anonymizer and SDLTM Anonymizer, giving you control over how sensitive data is managed.
Using plain text, or regular expressions, you can pseudonomize, or anonymize the data in your translation projects and translation memories. This helps you retain the benefits of using a translation tool by knowing who translated what work, without exposing this personal information to any unauthorised people you are sharing your projects with.
The application can be very useful in helping you meet your obligations with regard to legal requirements such as those laid down under GDPR.
