About the MultiLingual
2007 Resource Directory
and Editorial Index 2006
www.multilingual.com
05-07 Masthead RD07.indd 5
Up Front
any readers tell us that they keep their back issues of MultiLingual for reference.
And throughout the year, they look for resources — the people, products and
services they need to connect with in the language industry.
Every year in the language industry is a busy and fast-changing one. The year
2006 saw many moves, mergers and acquisitions as well as the introduction of new technologies and new uses for “traditional” tools. Using this resource directory and index, you can
easily locate language-industry companies as well as information published in the pages of
MultiLingual during 2006.
For this fifth annual Resource Directory and Index, we worked with Common Sense
Advisory consultancy CEO Donald A. DePalma to survey buyers and providers of
language services about what they want and what they think the “other side” wants in
transacting language business. In his article (see the pages with red tabs) you may find
some surprising results.
As in the past, the Resource Directory
(blue tabs) lists companies that develop
and use language-related technology
along with others that provide services
in translation, localization, internationalization, website globalization and many
other specialties.
Index pages (gold tabs) include authors,
titles and topics, arranged in a single
alphabet. This is followed by a list of acronyms and abbreviations used in our pages
during the year; a glossary of languageindustry terminology; and an index of the
advertisers appearing in this directory.
This special issue is also available at
www.multilingual.com/resourceDirectory
for your quick reference and for download. Subscribers can access it, too, as
part of our digital edition.
We hope you find this special issue
and the many other resources of MultiLingual Computing, Inc., helpful and
useful throughout the year.

IT’S BEEN A PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU
Eight little words you won’t hear very often if your global
marketing is limited to English.
Your financial controller or CEO may want to believe that
most potential clients speak English but deep down
most marketers know that people rarely buy what
they cannot understand. But how can we be sure
that language matters in international markets?
A study by Wordbank and Common Sense Advisory
of more than 2,430 online buyers from eight countries
reveals that 75% rarely or never purchase from
English-language websites and more than 50% will
only purchase from websites in their own language.
Can’t Read, Won’t Buy: Why Language Matters
on Global Websites
An International Survey of Global Consumer
Buying Preferences provides some answers for
companies looking to exploit new and emerging markets
and gain an insight into how localization can help to turn that
casual web visitor into a loyal customer.

Donald A. DePalma
D
epending on whom you speak with,
translation is the second oldest
profession or a critical component
of the next wave of global business growth. But given translation’s
tenure on the planet and the bold
horizons it presents for international commerce,
it still remains a rather obscure function for most
people. However, along with related operations
such as interpretation and localization, translation comprises a surprisingly large US$9.4 billion
language services industry.
One question that localization buyers and providers frequently ask is “Why don’t we get more respect?” It’s not that
anyone disrespects them. Rather, it’s largely because what they
do — in most cases — is very successful. Someone reads an HP
printer manual in Moscow, a McDonald’s employee in Shanghai
learns about proper french-fry handling, or a vacationer from
Oslo books a Royal Caribbean cruise — and no one realizes
that the source language of what they’ve read was English, not
Russian, Mandarin or Norwegian. Done well, translation is a
transparent, if not invisible, function.
Add to that successful transparency the fact that translation really isn’t all that exciting. I apologize in advance to the
translators out there who would disagree, but few translators
live the exciting life that Nicole Kidman had in The Interpreter.
Donald A. DePalma is the founder and chief research officer of the
research and consulting firm Common Sense Advisory and author of the
premier book on business globalization Business Without Borders: A
Strategic Guide to Global Marketing.
43-47 RD Survey - DePalma SC 10943 43
At its core, translation is a human-delivered service, not unlike
accounting, payroll or even janitorial services. And like these
critical business services, translation is most frequently outsourced to specialty agencies called language service providers
(LSPs). There are thousands of agencies worldwide, ranging
from just a couple of people to thousands.
Once a sales representative for an LSP sells a big translation or localization job, chains of human translators, editors,
desktop publishers and other staff assemble to deliver what was
promised. They employ best practices honed through years of
work. They may use commercial translation automation tools to
speed up the job, but more frequently they employ customized
solutions to manage a complex dance of translation, editing,
proofreading and integration with core systems. The net result
is localized information and finished goods in other languages
for people around the planet.
Exploring how buyers buy and suppliers sell
So in this pool of big-money, low-visibility, globalizationenabling service delivery, we question what entices a company
that needs some translation to purchase it from one LSP rather
than another. What do buyers of language services and tools
want? Are they looking for what industry suppliers are offering? Inquiring minds want to know.
In November 2006 Common Sense Advisory invited readers of MultiLingual magazine to respond to an online survey
about what’s important to both buyers and suppliers. We asked
each group a parallel set of 12 questions and compared their
responses to several of these in this article.
Often reluctant to share their experiences in translation
and localization, 56 buyers bravely completed the survey. Ever
anxious to have their say, suppliers turned out in force, with a
total of 236 respondents. Of these 77% were LSPs, just 4% sell

globalization software, and the balance were hybrid vendors
selling both language services and tools. Respondents to the
English-language survey were almost equally split between the
European Union (42%) and North America (43%). The balance
came from non-EU Europe, South America, the Middle East,
East Asia and South Asia.
We found large overlap between buyer and supplier responses
and a great deal of consistency with our research from the last
four years on these topics. The big exceptions were around the
perception of what’s important to the buyer of services and what
technologies they use to manage workflow. We attribute part of
this difference to company size; the vendors who responded sell
to the entire market, big and small companies alike, while the
buyers in this survey tended to be from larger firms with more
mature localization practices.
Figure 1: Who buys language services?
Who buys language services?
We asked buyers how they produce translations and localize products, finding that 85.9% outsource most or all of their
translation work to external agencies. The balance performs
most work themselves, but outsources some to these LSPs. None
of our respondents does all the language work in-house.
A bit more than a third of the buyer respondents told us that
people with “manager” in their titles make the buying decision.
Providers told us that in more than half their sales, they sell to
managers (Figure 1). Directors were further down the list, followed by procurement offices. Other less frequent buyers were
executives bearing titles such as CTO or CMO, vice presidents,
and supervisors. This pecking order shows little change from
our 2004 data where we found that most buyers of language
services were managers of localization, technical publications,
operations, or marketing groups.
44
Knowing who buys these services, we turned our attention to
how and where they buy them.
Most companies still buy
language services at the project level
As we have observed the rise of online reverse auctions
over the last few years, we keep asking companies what
impact they have on their buying patterns. Over three-quarters
of our buy-side respondents said they have never considered
an auction, while nearly 40% of suppliers see them increasing
in some of the markets they serve. Both groups told us that
most transactions are conducted on a project-by-project basis
(Figure 2).
Purchases are negotiated on a deal-by-deal basis (“Projectnegotiated”). With this model each translation project owner negotiates his or her own deal, and 32%
of buyers said they procure language
services in this manner, while 24% of
suppliers said that most of their clients
buy services “by the drink.” While this
approach is the most prevalent and
often the most expedient, it is also the
most inefficient to manage and costly
to implement.
Per-project purchases use a standard price sheet (“Project-MSRP”).
Groups needing language services buy
services on a piecemeal basis, but use a
standard price sheet (MSRP for “manufacturer’s suggested retail price”)
rather than negotiate each deal separately. Vendors price roughly a quarter
of their deals this way. This model is
much better than separately negotiated
prices and indicates a nascent effort to
control costs by eliminating the price
uncertainty of ad hoc procurement.
Companies employ a variety of
buying strategies (“Mixture”). Buyers
use a variety of methods to acquire language services — purchasing by the project, involving a centralized procurement
group and so on. The fact that a third of a supplier’s business
with a given account employs a “dog’s breakfast” of purchasing
models shouldn’t be surprising. A vendor might sell to multiple
groups within a company, but each of those buyers will typically prefer one purchasing model over another.
Centralized purchasing via a master services agreement
(“Central-MSA”) is the most evolved approach to procurement,
accounting for about a third of buyer activity. MSA-based
relationships provide a measure of protection for both client
and provider, and in general formalize and often professionalize the relationship. In some companies centralized purchasing
organizations only get involved when an MSA is in place. In
other companies, centralized purchasing organizations impose
an MSA as part of their procurement discipline.

or the time zone of a project manager,
references, technical capabilities including
web experience, test or sample translation
results, and the number of years that a
supplier has been in business.
Figure 3 graphs just the top seven
buying issues for buyers and contrasts
how suppliers perceive those same items
as factors in the purchasing decision.
Nobody sells services without the right
language or technical skills. Buyers were
unanimous in listing language capabilities
and domain area expertise as the top factor. It stands to reason that nobody who
needs a document on thermal couplings
translated from Russian to Pashto will
choose a translation agency that doesn’t
offer that language pair and cannot demonstrate that knowledge. Technical capabilities also rate very high. For clients,

more important issue but actually buying
on price.
Are language services
a commodity? That is
still the question
The question of price versus quality is an evergreen one among everyone
involved in translation and localization.
It frequently sparks debates around the
recurring theme of commoditization — that
is, the cheapening of the service, the loss
of perceptible differentiation among supplier offerings, and the tendency of buyers
to treat any offering as just more of the
same. In the free-form essay section of
our survey, suppliers did not disappoint
us. Quite a few blasted their clients on
the price-versus-quality issue and decried
commoditization of the language services
sector. For example:
“Customers buy on price, but they say
that the most important issue for them

is quality, which is not necessarily true.
The commoditization of language service really bothers me,
of quality for their clients. For globalization software vendors,

knowledge transfer and collaboration.
“Customers insist on further forcing our business into a commodity-type situation. They believe the marketing message from
the translation memory software vendors who say that content
can be carved up and you just pay for what’s new and forget
about paying for 100% matches. However, those same customers still want top-quality translations.” [LSP]
Is translation a commodity? Vendors are much more sensitive to the issue of commoditization because they are the
victims of the resulting pricing and perception issues. Way
back in 2002 we wrote that “self-aware localization providers
shouldn’t waste their breath explaining that they don’t offer
a commodity today.” We suggested that they “ask a couple
of pigs whether they consider themselves to be a commodity.
If they could speak, they would probably say ‘no.’ Then ask
a broker at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange what he sees
over in that muddy pen; he’ll say two frozen pork bellies at
$82.00 each. Localization providers don’t see themselves as
commodities, but many buyers do.” That’s the reality of the
language business.
How can LSPs convince buyers that they’re more than a side
dish for tomorrow’s breakfast? LSPs need to present themselves
not as a translation service but as an agency that can manage
risk, improve process, aggregate quality translators with the
right domain area expertise, and deliver the appropriate level
46
What technology do they
use to manage workflow?
Speaking of software, we are always surprised by the relatively
low penetration of translation automation between buyers and suppliers. We asked buyers how they manage content that they pass
to their LSPs, while we queried suppliers about how they receive

jobs from their clients. Ad hoc processes
including e-mail, FTP, and the exchange
of physical media still dominate the scene.
This situation has not changed much from
when we asked four years ago.
Unlike its abysmal showing in 2003,
however, translation management (the category formerly and confusingly known as
“globalization management” or GMS) has
picked up a substantial amount of energy,
with nearly a third of the buy-side sample
claiming that most or some of their translated content passes through these systems.
Given sales figures for the translation
management suppliers, it would be sheer
fantasy to extrapolate this percentage to
the broader marketplace. However, it does
indicate a substantial uptick in awareness
and usage in 2006 and perhaps a greater
awareness of MultiLingual readers to the
value of this technology.
content management systems, most buyers exchange source content and localized output through e-mail and FTP.
In the final analysis, these findings are
a testament to the dynamic, diverse and
fragmented nature of language services
and supporting technologies. Just two
variables — language pair and subject
matter expertise — explain the many offerings in the market. After all, somebody
somewhere will need a translation from
Thai into Swiss German for legal opinions
related to transferring tax credits, repatriating profits, or reassigning an employee.
For certain, a translator somewhere in the
world will fill the bill. M
Conclusions from our survey
This article focused on buying issues:
■ Most buying occurs at a managerial level. Whether they run a localization group or technical publications,
managers tend to do most of the buying. Despite the fervent desires of many
sales representatives to sell higher in
the organization, we found that few
executives procure language services
and technology.
■ Most companies purchase services
by the project. Many buyers negotiate
price each time they acquire services,
thus gaining the least leverage with their
suppliers. Indicating a trend toward selling to the economic buyers rather than
the actual localization team, suppliers
see about a quarter of their sales through
centralized purchasing groups with service agreements.
■ Several factors drive purchases.
Buyers cite the “right” language pairs,
domain area expertise, quality, technical
capabilities, and price as the top issues
driving them. For the most part, the
vendors selling to them agree on which
issues are most important but dispute the
priority.
■ Workflow between buyers and suppliers remains to be automated. Despite
the availability of structured workflow,
collaboration software, and sophisticated

principle was suggested by management thinker Joseph M. Juran, 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 approximately correct and may be
helpful in decision making.

Kanji. The name for Japanese ideographic characters that were derived
from Chinese origin. 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. An angular phonetic subscript of the Japanese language that
renders the sounds of the Japanese language into 50 syllables. Katakana
and Hiragana both render the same syllables, but Katakana is angular and
used largely to spell words borrowed from other languages, while Hiragana

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 who wants to obtain goods of a better
quality than consumer items, but can’t afford professional items — older
terms for goods of this intermediate quality are semi-professional and
industrial quality. Here, the word is a blend of professional and consumer.
Pseudo-localization. Translates the code strings of a product into “pseudostrings.” The resulting “pseudo-language” is designed to test the impact
that different aspects of localization have on the product’s functionality
and appearance.
Pseudo-translation. Similar to a test run which seeks to copy the translation process rather than actually produce a translation. A text string is
taken and put through a translation-like process which 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

a list of references that match those criteria.
Search engine optimization (SEO). A set of methods aimed at improving the ranking of a website in search engine listings. SEO is primarily
concerned with advancing the goals of a website by improving the number

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

If you have any
comments, please
email my manager…
Keith Laska
Vice President,
SDL TRADOS Technologies
I'm a customer, there may be times when I'd like to escalate
“ When
an issue, or even congratulate someone on a job well done.
It's not always that easy to do.
We want to make it easy for you to talk to us, and we want
to listen to your comments and feedback.
Therefore, we're changing the way we work with our customers
and how we work internally. This means a greater focus on
customer needs, and more importantly, creating a customer
experience that is rewarding at every encounter.
To enhance your interaction with us, we will be introducing
a number of initiatives that will culminate in 2007 becoming
the year of Global Customer Service.
This year, you'll be able to escalate issues directly to my
management team, and to me. You'll be able to post product
and service improvement ideas on a completely open online
forum. You'll even be giving our support engineers their annual
review. These and many other new initiatives are currently
being developed to enhance your customer experience
this year and beyond.
”
Why not start now? If you have any comments
on our level of customer service, please email
me at [email protected].
To improve is to change. To be perfect is to change many times.
