I don't care to see most of the trash TMs that LSPs accumulate, fail to maintain properly and try to 'leverage' on the backs of their translating teams. Without even considering copyright and privacy issues, I simply find the idea foolish for much of the work I do. In certain areas like standard error messages for software, I can see the point. In some way I find it a shame that this latest information is distributed via TAUS, and organization regarding which I hold no little suspicion, but it is important that we keep an eye on those who pursue their agenda, and some limited collaboration can in fact be a good way to do this.ДЇirst, I find the organization's case for sharing all TMs rather weak. He has a gift for that, which is why his Toolkit newsletter and Toolbox primer for translators are so enormously popular. Jost's paper is a good overview which explains its points clearly for nontechnical audiences as well. The report can be downloaded from the link here or from the TAUS website where you'll be asked to give contact information that you may or may not want to provide for a mailing list. Jost Zetzsche of the International Writer's Group has written an interesting short report on data exchange standards for translation content, how they affect individual translators, why we should care and why freelancers should be involved in the development of these standards.
