How can accurate translation and localization help my business?

Today's economy is global, and every company in every country is trying to sell their products in new markets. American companies know that the whole world does not speak English fluently. And companies exporting their products to the US need to translate and localize them for the US market.

When we translate a manual, Help System or Computer Based Training program (or develop one that will be used in English in multiple markets), we look at several issues:

  • Accurate translation into the target language
  • Paying attention to cultural sensitivities for the target group
  • Making procedures and concepts easy to understand

A picture is often worth more than 1000 words when you are developing print materials for foreign markets. We try to use lots of them, and make them easy to understand.

How are translation and localization done?

We've localized materials into languages from Europe to Asia, and most places in between.

We use extraordinarily competent translators with both dialect experience (French for Canada is not quite French for France) and technical experience, so that we can deliver the final product in the terminology and flavor of the target market.

When it comes to translating and localizing materials with animation, video, and other new media elements, it's important to have both the engineering and language skills required to make these complex programs function properly in other languages.

There's no substitute for review when you are localizing a manual or software program. We use local and in-country resources - as well as your own distributors and in-country representatives — to make sure that our work is accurate.
