Abstract
The invention features systems and methods of assisting a translation of an original document from an original language into a translation language that provide enhanced opportunities to leverage previously translated documents and that provide linguists with greater context to improve the efficiency and quality of the resulting translations. In addition, the invention features a network-based document management system that provides enhanced document and project management capabilities. In one aspect, a format structure of the original document is extracted as a tree structure of one or more nodes identifying text and formatting codes in the original document. In another aspect, the original document is stored on a server coupled to a network, a remote user may display selected portions of the original document on a remote network terminal, and the remote user may create a translation language document on the server.
