High quality product documentation in any language
▪
Technical documentation, localisation, internationalisation, globalisation – the world of translation is becoming more and more complex and multilayered.
▪
High quality products deserve product documentation of an equally high standard that is easy to use and understand, no matter what language it is written in.
 

The right tools

Everyone involved in the business of multilingual translation – specialist departments, agencies, freelance translators – are continually faced with questions such as:
▪
Are the costs of translation too high?
▪
Do translations generally take too long?
▪
How can productivity be increased?
▪
Do different formats pose particular difficulties?
▪
How do we cope with right-to-left and Far Eastern languages?
▪
Is terminology consistent?
▪
How can the growing volume of translation work be managed?
▪
Are the translation processes really efficient?
In short: are we in fact using the right tools – and the best ones available?
