Case Study: Minsk State Linguistic University achieves improved translation quality, consistency, and industry-ready skills with Phrase Localization Platform

Using Memsource for Teaching Translation at Minsk State Linguistic University

Minsk State Linguistic University’s School for Intercultural Communication adopted Memsource in 2017 to modernize its "Modern Translation Techniques" course and better prepare students for the market. The challenge was to teach practical CAT-tool skills—translation memories, term bases, QA, handling non‑translatables and teamwork—so graduates would deliver consistent, professional translations and be competitive in the industry.

By integrating the Memsource Academic Edition, instructors transformed classes into realistic workflows: terminology is propagated automatically, QA checks prevent common errors, and team features improve consistency across projects. Students report faster, higher‑quality work, use Memsource across other courses, and leave better prepared for translation jobs—raising productivity, reputation, and employability.
