About the MultiLingual 2012 Resource
Directory and Editorial Index 2011
T
Up Front
his volume marks our tenth annual Index and Resource Directory. We’ve been
doing this for a decade now — or more, depending on how you’re counting, since
the very first iteration of MultiLingual was actually a printed-out list of localization resources mailed in 1987. But we’ve streamlined things since then, and every
year now, we collect up-to-date data on language companies and services, and
compile them into listings by category — from Software Testing to Interpreting to Blogs.
The purpose is to provide a resource for the language industry; what amounts to a global
phone book for those seeking this kind of business. The Resource Directory has traditionally been marked by blue tabs, and this issue is no exception.
We include a few short articles with each edition, organized with red tabs, and this year,
Kate Edwards writes on the importance of content inventories. Common Sense Advisory
provides a breakdown of the worldwide market, and we have a snapshot of our own reader
survey, which helped us to get a better picture of how to serve the industry.
Next comes the Index, marked with gold tabs. We manually index every issue, going
through the articles in their final state and creating a list of authors, titles and topics,
which we then sort by a single alphabet at the end of the year. This, again, is in the hope
that we can provide an educational resource
for the industry, and an easy way to find a
specific article even if you can’t remember who
wrote it, or what issue it appeared in.
Also of interest may be the list of industryrelated acronyms and abbreviations that comes
next, and the terminology glossary that comes
after that. We update these pages every year
as well, drawing from the new terms that crop
up in the pages of our magazine. Finally, the
index of advertisers in this directory makes its
appearance.
This issue is available for free download at
www.multilingual.com/resource Directory, which
contains live links to all the articles in the Index
and to the companies in the Resource Directory.
Happy tenth anniversary, and here’s to many
more together.

MultiLingual reader survey results
MultiLingual magazine polled its readers
at the end of 2011, asking for topics of
interest, reader demographics and ways to
improve. The vast majority of respondents
rated the magazine as either “great” or
“good” in terms of quality (96%) and
usefulness (84%). Western Europe led the
poll on regions that interested readers
(Figure 1) with some readers noting that, for
example, “The entire planet” was of interest,
and translation led in the topics category
(Figure 2).
The usefulness of the index (Figure 3)
and back issues were explored as well,
with 87% saying they refer to back issues
of MultiLingual at least occasionally. One
of those polled noted that “when someone
mentions an article, or I find a reference,
I go back and find information that I end
up using extensively. Articles that weren’t
relevant to my work when they were published have value later.” Other respondents
commented that they used back articles for
client, student and employee education.
“We use back articles to train new employees,” one person stated. Another reader was
“inspired by articles that can be used as
client education. They are well written and
accepted by our clients.”
Some of those who did find back issues
and articles to be helpful requested an
online compilation of the indexes from over
the years, and MultiLingual is currently
looking into how to implement this in a
more formal way than the simple sitewide
search available online.
Just how technical to make articles is a
question of some debate, and 71% of readers
said they wanted the balance left as it is, with
23% wanting a more technical bent and
6% wanting things to be less technical. One
way to try to make everyone happy is to
have articles with slightly different technical
levels, depending on subject matter, and the
magazine will explore having a few more
technical articles for the techie audience.
At the same time, the survey also garnered
comments like “less techie please, and more
focused on everyday language specialists.”
In answer to the question about how
many MultiLingual advertisers that readers
had contacted, the survey showed that
advertisers are averaging more than one
business contact per reader. Additionally,
69% of readers said they either purchase
or influence purchase decisions at their
company.

The importance of
content inventories
Kate Edwards
S
often heads-down busy with their respective tasks. Coordination
among the teams takes place, of course, but one of the weaknesses I’ve seen in various processes is the lack of metadata and
a broader, long-term mechanism for referencing, tracking and
managing content elements. Without such a strategy in place,
it’s easy for specific elements to become lost in an ocean of content against the backdrop of pressured deadlines and ship dates.
Of course, within the realm of localization, we have become
far more savvy and efficient with our content management
systems because without them, we simply cannot do our work.
Even more so, when it comes to the culturalization of content,
some form of content inventory becomes even more critical.
With many geopolitical and cultural issues, the point of concern

ome of you might remember the old
public service announcement on US
television where an ominous voice
would ask parents: “It’s 11 pm; do you
know where your children are?” It was
intended to shock parents into being
responsible and keeping track of their children’s
activities. I’d like to offer my own version of this
adage to you: “It’s late in the product development
cycle; do you know where your content is?”

engines, corpora and so forth. These advances have been a
boon for creating and manipulating text, but it’s critical that
additional metadata be available that helps identify potentially
sensitive terms and phrases across many languages. At one
point, I was involved in a project that created terminology
databases for sensitive geopolitical and cultural terms — and
not just basic profanity — for over 45 languages. Each term or
phrase contained an assigned severity level for triage purposes
during development, as well as contextual cues to help the team
know when the term was or wasn’t appropriate to use.
Thirdly, we have to consider all the issues involving nontext content. Unfortunately, with content such as maps, icons
and photos, it’s much more difficult to identify potential culturalization issues. It’s easy to store the image with a specific
file name and find it, but what about the contents of the image
itself? For example, what if the image contains embedded text
or symbols or other artwork? Some images, such as a national
flag, are easy to label, tag and store. It’s pretty self-explanatory
to see something such as South_Sudan_National_Flag.PNG. But
what if it’s an image of a sports stadium that contains ten different national flags? If one of those flags was that of Taiwan
and you wanted to use this image in China, that could become a
real problem for your company and could lead to serious sanctions. In such cases, it’s easy to see how important it must be to
go beyond standard file labeling by actually creating inventory
of the content with more detailed metadata.
Too often have I seen projects where such an issue has
arisen. Once, for example, there was a need to find a very
specific symbol or text embedded within a specific image, but
the developers had failed to implement any kind of indexing.
So instead of being able to do a quick database call on their
content inventory within seconds, a person (or persons) actually had to sift through the images (which could be hundreds
or thousands in number) and find the specific problem. All of
this wasted time, energy and money can be avoided with some
proactive measures.
Lastly, when creating and managing content inventories, we
have to ensure that they are part of a larger company strategy to
collect the corporate memory around locale-specific variations
and potentially sensitive issues. In other words, the idea is not
to maintain an inventory only for one specific project. Rather,
the idea is that every project’s inventory should be a subset
of a central inventory. Granted, in some cases there may be
legal restrictions on the intermingling of content between projects, and this must be considered. In reality, many companies
take this centralized approach already, but it’s important to be
explicit about how the importance of being able to learn from
past issues and carry forward the collected wisdom. In this way,
a content inventory becomes not just a repository but a form
of knowledge base in its own right. You’ll not only know where
your content is at any given time, but it will be able to educate
over time on how, where and why it’s been leveraged. M

Abilene Paradox. A paradox in which a group of people collectively
decides on a course of action that is counter to the preferences of any of
the individuals in the group. It involves a common breakdown of group
communication in which each member mistakenly believes that his or her
own preference is counter to the group’s and, thus, the person does not
raise objections.
advanced leveraging. Within computer-aided translation tools, advanced
leveraging combines statistical analysis and linguistic intelligence to
create a new category of fuzzy matches that can lead to an increase in
translation productivity. It features full-text indexing capabilities that
allow users to search and retrieve text strings of any length, such as full
and fuzzy segments, paragraphs, terms and even subsegments.
agile. In this context, agile methods break tasks into small iterations with
minimal planning. Each iteration involves a team working through a full
software development cycle, for example, which speeds up release of the
product.
agglutination. In linguistics, combining short words or word elements
into a single word in order to express compound ideas.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). An organization of
American industry groups that work with other nations to develop standards in facilitating telecommunications, character encoding and international trade.
American Sign Language (ASL). The dominant sign language of the deaf
community in the United States, in the English-speaking parts of Canada
and in parts of Mexico. Although the United Kingdom and the United
States share English as a spoken and written language, British Sign Language is quite different from ASL and not mutually intelligible.
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). The
worldwide standard for the code numbers used by computers to represent
all the uppercase and lowercase Latin letters, numbers, punctuation and
other symbols.
anglophone. Someone who speaks the English language natively or by
adoption. The term specifically refers to people whose cultural background is primarily associated with the English language, regardless of
ethnic and geographical differences.
application programming interface (API). A software interface that
enables applications to communicate with each other. An API is the set of
programming language constructs or statements that can be coded in an
application program to obtain the specific functions and services provided
by an underlying operating system or service program.
application service provider (ASP). A service, usually a business, that
provides remote access to an application program across a network protocol, typically HTTP. A common example is a website that other websites
use for accepting payment by credit card as part of its online ordering
systems.
audio description (AD). A term used to describe the descriptive narration
of key visual elements in a video or multimedia product. AD makes the
visual images of media accessible for people who are blind and visually
impaired. The visual is made verbal. In AD, narrators typically describe
actions, gestures, scene changes and other visual information. They also
describe titles, speaker names and other text that may appear on the
screen.
automated machine translation (AMT). AMT and Caterpillar Technical English are development project collaborations between Caterpillar,
Inc., and Carnegie Mellon University to further improve the creation and
translation of technical documentation into three core languages: Spanish, French and German.
automatic content enrichment (ACE). A bridge between single language
websites and localization, ACE technology associates English words and
phrases on web pages with pop-ups containing information in a user’s
native language.
B
back translation. The process of translating a document that has already
been translated into another language back to the original language —
preferably by an independent translator.

Balkans. A geopolitical and cultural region of southeastern Europe. The
region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the
center of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia.
Baltic states. The Baltic states are three countries in northern Europe,
all members of the European Union: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. After
centuries of foreign domination, the Baltic countries were reestablished as
independent nations in the aftermath of World War I in 1918-1920.
bidirectional (writing system). A writing system in which text is generally flush right, and most characters are written from right to left, but
some text is written left to right as well. Arabic and Hebrew are the only
bidirectional writing systems in current use.
bidirectional text (bidi). A mixture of characters within a text where
some are read from left to right and others from right to left. Bidirectional
or bidi refers to an application that allows for this variance.
Big5. The name of the Chinese character set and encoding used extensively in Taiwan. Big5 is not a national standard, but is equivalent to the
first two planes of CNS 11643-1992.
Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU). An algorithm for evaluating
the quality of text that has been machine translated from one natural language to another. Quality is considered to be the correspondence between
a machine’s output and that of a human. The closer that a machine
translation is to a human translation, the better it is. BLEU was one of
the first metrics to achieve a high correlation with human judgments of
quality and remains one of the most popular. Scores are calculated for
individual translated segments — generally sentences — by comparing
them with a set of good quality reference translations. Those scores are
then averaged over the whole corpus to reach an estimate of the translation’s overall quality. Intelligibility or grammatical correctness is not
taken into account.
bitext. A merged document comprised of both source language and target
language versions of a given text. Bitexts are generated by a piece of
software called an alignment tool, which automatically aligns the original
and translated versions of the same text.
blog. Shortened from weblog, this is a web application that contains
periodic time-stamped posts on a common webpage. Blogs range from
individual diaries to arms of political campaigns, media programs and
corporations, and from having one occasional “blogger” (author) to having large communities of writers.
bloggerati (sing. bloggerato). Adapted from literati, the term refers to the
“A-list bloggers” — popular and/or celebrity bloggers in the blogging
community.
bodyshopping. The practice of using offshore resources and personnel to
do small disaggregated tasks within a business environment without any
broader intention to offshore an entire business function.
branding. A name, logo, slogan and/or design scheme associated with a
product or service. Brand recognition and other reactions are created by
the use of the product or service and through the influence of advertising,
design and media commentary. A brand is a symbolic embodiment of all
the information connected to the product and serves to create associations
and expectations around it. A brand often includes a logo, fonts, color
schemes, symbols and sound that may be developed to represent implicit
values, ideas and even personality.
break-even point. The amount of sales or revenues that a company must
generate in order to equal its expenses. In other words, it is the point at
which the company neither makes a profit nor suffers a loss; there is no
net loss or gain. Break-even analysis provides insight into whether or
not revenue from a product or service has the ability to cover the costs
of production of that product or service. Company executives can use
this information in making a wide range of business decisions, including
setting prices, preparing competitive bids and applying for loans.
BRIC. An acronym that refers to the fast growing and developing economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China.
business ethics. Examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that arise in a business environment. It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and business
organizations as a whole.
byte-order mark (BOM). A Unicode character that indicates the byte
order of the Unicode text that follows.
C
captive center. A company-owned offshore operation. The activities are
performed offshore, but they are not outsourced to another company.
cascading style sheet (CSS). An external format that determines the layout
of tagged file formats such as HTML.
casual games. A category of electronic or computer games targeted at
a mass audience, casual games usually have a few simple rules and an
engaging game design, thereby making it easy for a new player to begin
playing the game in just minutes. Casual games require no long-term time
commitment or special skills to play, and there are comparatively low
production and distribution costs for the producer.
Catalan. A Romance language, the national and official language of
Andorra, and a co-official language in the Spanish autonomous communities of the Balearic Islands, Catalonia and Valencia — where it is known as
Valencian — and in the city of Alghero on the Italian island of Sardinia.
Although with no official recognition, it is also spoken in the autonomous
communities of Aragon and Murcia in Spain, and in the historic Roussillon
region of southern France.
Caterpillar Technical English (CTE). Consists of a controlled vocabulary —
approximately 80,000 technical terms — and all of the English grammatical
structures required when writing technical documentation. CTE ensures that
automated machine translation is able to translate what authors write in
English.
Catch-22. A term coined by Joseph Heller in his 1961 novel Catch-22,
describing a false dilemma where no real choice exists. A familiar example
of this circumstance occurs in the context of job searching. In moving
from school to a career, a graduate may encounter a Catch-22 where one
cannot get a job without work experience, but one cannot gain experience
without a job.
CE marking. The letters CE are the abbreviation of the French phrase conformité Européene that literally means European conformity. CE marking
on a product is a manufacturer’s declaration that the product complies
with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and
environmental protection legislations.
Central America. The central geographic region of the Americas. It is the
southernmost, isthmian portion of the North American continent, which
connects with South America on the southeast. Central America has traditionally consisted of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua and Panama.
Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Predominantly used to describe former
Communist countries in Europe after the collapse of the Iron Curtain in
1990. Later, it became an abbreviation mostly — still being not precisely
defined — referring to the European countries east of Germany and south
to the Balkan states. In most cases it includes Poland, Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Baltic states of Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania. It sometimes also includes Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova
and Russia.
CESU-8. Similar to UTF-8, CESU-8 is a way of representing Unicode text.
CESU-8 uses six bytes for supplementary characters and is not appropriate
for data interchange.
character. The smallest component of written language that has semantic
value. A printed or written letter or symbol. In computing, the binary code
used to represent a letter or symbol.
character identifier (CID). The key used to access outline (glyph) data in
CID-keyed fonts.

conditional text. Content within a document that is meant to appear in
some renditions of the document, but not other renditions. The text is
conditional in the sense that its inclusion or variation depends on which
version of the document is being produced.
consecutive interpreting. The interpreter begins his or her interpretation
of a complete message after the speaker has stopped producing the source
utterance. At the time that the interpretation is rendered, the interpreter is
the only person in the communication environment who is producing a
message. Normally, in consecutive interpreting, the interpreter is alongside
the speaker, listening and taking notes as the speech progresses. When the
speaker has finished or comes to a pause, the interpreter reproduces the
message in the target language, in its entirety and as though he or she were
making the original speech.
content management system (CMS). A system used to store and subsequently find and retrieve large amounts of data. CMSs were not originally
designed to synchronize translation and localization of content, so most

information such as a tag for each word indicating its part-of-speech and
perhaps the parse tree for each sentence.
creole language. A stable language that originates from a mixture of
various languages. The majority of creole languages are based on English, Portuguese, French, Spanish and other languages — their superstrate
language — with local or immigrant languages as substrate languages.
The lexicon of a creole usually consists of words clearly borrowed from a
superstrate language, except for phonetic and semantic shifts; on the other
hand, the grammar often has original features and may differ substantially
from those of the superstrate language.
cross-reference. As a noun, an instance within a document that refers to
related or synonymous information elsewhere, usually within the same
work. As a verb, the action of making this connection.
crowdsourcing. The act of taking a task traditionally performed by an

or anomalies without knowledge of the meaning of the data. Data mining
uses computational techniques from statistics and pattern recognition.
desktop publishing (DTP). Using computers to lay out text and graphics
for printing in magazines, newsletters, brochures and so on. A good DTP
system provides precise control over templates, styles, fonts, sizes, color,
paragraph formatting, images and fitting text into irregular shapes.
diacritic. A mark or sign placed under, over or through a Latin script character that indicates a modification in the phonetic value of the character
with which it is associated.

dongle. A security or copy-protection device for commercial computer programs. Programs can use a dongle query at the start of a program to determine
if the registration is valid and to terminate if the correct code is not present.
double-byte character set (DBCS). This term has two basic meanings. In
CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean) computing, the term traditionally means
a character set in which every graphic character not representable by an
accompanying SBCS (single-byte character set) is encoded in two bytes.
Han characters would generally comprise most of these two-byte characters. The term can also mean a character set in which all characters
— including all control characters — are encoded in two bytes.
double-byte languages. Languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean
(CJK) that use twice as much memory because their characters are more
complex and graphical than Roman alphabet letters. CJK languages are
character-based with each character referring to an idea as opposed to a
specific shape.

e-learning. The use of internet technology for learning outside of a physical classroom.
80/20 Rule. Also known as Pareto’s Principle, the law of the vital few and
the principle of factor sparsity. The rule states that for many phenomena,
80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes. Management
thinker Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle, and it was named after
the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income
in Italy was received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is
that most of the results in any situation are determined by a small number
of causes. This idea is often applied to data such as sales figures: “20%
of clients are responsible for 80% of sales volume.” Such a statement is
testable, is likely to be correct and may be helpful in decision making.
embedded media. Media that can be included in an HTML page, such as
RealAudio files or GIF animations. Web browsers use multipurpose internet
mail extensions (MIME types), a specification for formatting these nonASCII messages so that they can be sent over the internet. When a browser
finds a file in an HTML document with a MIME extension such as .gif, the
browser knows to display that file as an image. Many e-mail clients also
support MIME.
embedded system. Hardware and software that make up a component of
a larger system, often for real-time response, that is expected to function
without human intervention.
encoding scheme. Rules for assigning numeric value (code points) to
characters. Encoding is a method by which a character set is turned into

hanja. The Korean name for Chinese characters. More specifically, it refers
to those Chinese characters borrowed from Chinese and incorporated into
the Korean language with Korean pronunciation.
hanzi. A logogram, literally meaning Han character, used in writing Chinese. These Chinese characters have also been borrowed for use in Japanese (kanji), less frequently Korean (hanja), and formerly Vietnamese (hán
tự), and other languages.

K
kana. The two Japanese syllabaries — hiragana and katakana.
kanji. The Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese
logographic writing system along with hiragana, katakana and the HinduArabic numerals. The Japanese term kanji literally means Han characters.
Despite the existence of some 13,000 kanji characters, these alone do not
suffice to write Japanese. Hiragana characters are also required to express
grammatical inflections.
katakana. A Japanese syllabary, one component of the Japanese writing
system along with hiragana, kanji and in some cases the Latin alphabet.
The word katakana means fragmentary kana, as they are derived from
components of more complex kanji. Katakana are characterized by short
straight strokes and angular corners and are the simplest of the Japanese scripts. Katakana and hiragana both render the same syllables, but
katakana is angular and used largely to spell words borrowed from other
languages, while hiragana is cursive and is used more frequently to spell
native Japanese words.
kernel. The central module of an operating system, it loads first and
remains in memory to control memory management, disk management,
and process and task management.

number of hardware platforms.
loanword. A word or phrase adopted from another language with little or
no modification.
locale. An international language and geographic region that also embodies common language and cultural information. Locale differs from
language in that the same language may be spoken in more than one
country. Locale also refers to the features of a user’s computing environment that are dependent on geographic location, language and cultural
information. A locale specifically determines conventions such as sort
order rules; date, time and currency formats; keyboard layout; and other
cultural conventions.
localization (l10n). The process of adapting a product or software to a
specific language or culture so that it seems natural to that particular
region. True localization considers language, culture, customs and the
characteristics of the target locale. It frequently involves changes to the
software’s writing system and may change keyboard use and fonts as well
as date, time and monetary formats. In l10n, the common abbreviation for
localization, the 10 refers to the ten letters between the l and the n.
the long tail. The statistical property that a large share of the population rests within the tail of a probability distribution. In localization, it
refers to the large number or languages or cultures that taken uniquely
would only represent small percentages of world population. The term has
gained popularity in recent times as a retailing concept describing the
niche strategy of selling a large number of unique items in relatively small
quantities. The term was popularized by Chris Anderson in an October
2004 Wired magazine article, in which he mentioned Amazon.com and
Netflix as examples of businesses applying this strategy.
lossy. Describes a compression algorithm that reduces the amount of information in data, rather than just the number of bits used to represent that

based on the concept of translation memory and the reuse of previously
translated terms and sentences.
machine translation (MT). A technology that translates text from one
human language to another, using terminology glossaries and advanced
grammatical, syntactic and semantic analysis techniques.
massive online collaboration. Massive collaboration is a form of collective
action that occurs when large numbers of people work independently on a
single project, often modular in its nature. Such projects typically take place
on the internet using social software and computer-supported collaboration
tools that provide a potentially infinite hypertextual substrate within which
the collaboration may be situated. A key aspect that distinguishes massive
collaboration from other forms of large-scale collaboration is that the collaborative process is mediated by the content being created — as opposed to
being mediated by direct social interaction as in other forms of collaboration.
massively multiplayer online game (MMOG). A type of computer game
that enables hundreds or thousands of players to simultaneously interact
in a game world to which they are connected via the internet.

performed in-house.
P
PanImages. From the Greek prefix pan, meaning whole or all-inclusive, an
image search engine that automatically translates a search term into about
300 other languages, suggests a few that might work and then displays
images from Google and the online photo database Flickr.

among individuals. Web pages are personalized based on the characteristics — interests, social category, context and so on — of an individual. Personalization is a means of meeting the customer’s needs more effectively
and efficiently, making interactions faster and easier, and, consequently,
increasing customer satisfaction and the likelihood of repeat visits.
phonology. The part of linguistics that deals with systems of sounds especially in a particular language.

or she has the responsibility of the planning, execution and closing of
any project. Key project management responsibilities include creating clear
and attainable project objectives, building the project requirements and
managing the triple constraint for projects — cost, time and scope.
prosumer. This word is becoming fairly common but can be confusing, and has
two meanings. Futurist Alvin Toffler in his 1980 book The Third Wave coined
the word as a blend of producer and consumer when he predicted that the role
of producers and consumers would begin to blur and merge. Toffler used it to
describe a possible future type of consumer who would become involved in the
design and manufacture of products so that they could be made to individual
specification. The second usage describes a purchaser of technical equipment

that different aspects of localization have on the product’s functionality
and appearance.
pseudo-translation. Similar to a test run that seeks to copy the translation
process rather than actually produce a translation. A text string is taken
and put through a translation-like process that alters it and produces a new
string. The text string is frequently changed as a result of this process, so
pseudo-translation is done to illustrate the potential problems that may
occur when the translation is actually done.
Q
quality assurance (QA). The activity of providing evidence needed to
establish confidence among all concerned that quality-related activities
are being performed effectively. All those planned or systematic actions
necessary to provide adequate confidence that a product or service will

the Roman (Latin) alphabet, or a system for doing so, where the original
word or language uses a different writing system.
rule-based machine translation (RBMT). The application of sets of linguistic rules that are defined as correspondences between the structure
of the source language and that of the target language. The first stage
involves analyzing the input text for morphology and syntax — and sometimes semantics — to create an internal representation. The translation
is then generated from this representation using extensive lexicons with
morphological, syntactic and semantic information, and large sets of rules.

serious games. Computer and video games that are intended to not only
entertain users, but have additional purposes such as education and training.
They can be similar to educational games and are primarily focused on an
audience outside of primary or secondary education. A serious game is usually a simulation that has the look and feel of a game, but is actually a simulation of real-world events or processes. The main goal of a serious game is
usually to train or educate users, though it may have other purposes, such
as marketing or advertisement, while giving them an enjoyable experience.
service-oriented architecture (SOA). A software architectural concept that
defines the use of services to support the requirements of software users.

simship. A term used to refer to the simultaneous shipment of software products in different languages or with other distinguishing differences in design.
simultaneous interpreting. The interpreter reformulates the message into
the target language as quickly as possible while the source speaker is speaking. Normally, in simultaneous interpreting between spoken languages, the
interpreter sits at a microphone in a soundproof booth, usually with a
clear view of the speaker, listening through headphones to the incoming
message in the source language. The interpreter then relays the message in
the target language into the microphone to whoever is listening.
single-source concept. Documentation according to single-source concept
means using a common source to provide documentation in several output
formats (printed manual, online help).
social games. In this context, a social network game, a type of online

each utterance first and then proceeds to render it into the other language,
as opposed to speaking and listening simultaneously.
terminology management. Primarily concerned with manipulating terminological resources for specific purposes — for example, establishing
repositories of terminological resources for publishing dictionaries,
maintaining terminology databases, ad hoc problem solving in finding
multilingual equivalences in translation work or creating new terms in
technical writing. Terminology management software provides the translator a means of automatically searching a given terminology database
for terms appearing in a document, either by automatically displaying
terms in the translation memory software interface window or through
the use of hotkeys to view the entry in the terminology database.

operating systems to be written in a higher level programming language,
thus making it hardware-independent.
usability. The ease that users experience in navigating an interface, locating information and obtaining knowledge over the internet.
V
variable. In computer programming, variables enable programmers to
write flexible programs. Rather than entering data directly into a program,
a programmer can use variables to represent the data. Then, when the
program is executed, the variables are replaced with real data. This makes
it possible for the same program to process different sets of data.
vector-based. Refers to software and hardware that use geometrical formulas to represent images (same as object-oriented graphics).
video game. A game that involves interaction with a user interface to
