Be careful: NEC-TM integration with translate5 is currently deprecated. If you need the latest translate5 to work with NEC-TM, you might need additional development. In this case please contact translate5's development team at www.translate5.net.


NEC-TM has only a basic Admin-Interface, but no translation interface. It is designed to serve as a TM-engine via API access for other servers and thus is a perfect match for translate5. Optionally the same TM on NEC-TM can be accessed through translate5 and other CAT-tools.

More information about NEC-TM you find at https://www.nec-tm.eu/
