Hello,
While reading some material on TMS tools, I've stumbled upon the phrases "version control" and "version management".
I don't understand clearly what these things would refer to in the translation industry, so I wonder if someone could please give an example and explain briefly how they can be useful in translation processes.

While reading some material on TMS tools, I've stumbled upon the phrases "version control" and "version management".
I don't understand clearly what these things would refer to in the translation industry, so I wonder if someone could please give an example and explain briefly how they can be useful in translation processes.
For context, here are some quotes:
"From project management tools that enable efficient collaboration among translators, editors, and clients to version control that ensures accurate and up-to-date translations, Phrase simplifies the complexities of managing translation projects."
(https://blog.andovar.com/phrase-empowering-business-translations-with-leading-localization-technology)
"Version Management: Maintain an agile localization process and avoid translation delays for added texts or new product features. Integrate your project branches with Crowdin and allow translators to access all new texts immediately.
Branches: When several people work on product development, branches help manage different content versions. If you have a continuous project, you can add project branches to Crowdin and allow translators to translate the texts in parallel with development to avoid deployment delays."

Thank you.

I guess this applies to situations where a certain text is periodically updated. If your organisation publishes a new version of a certain set of documents every year, it can be time-consuming to manage this process manually, feeding the new versions into a CAT tool as if they were new documents, applying the TM matches etc., especially when you do this every year (or even semi-annually, quarterly, monthly etc.) on a significant amount of documents. I guess these processes can be easily automate... See more I guess this applies to situations where a certain text is periodically updated.
