About the MultiLingual 2016
Resource Directory and
Editorial Index 2015
Welcome to our new
and improved annual
Resource Directory and
Index — we’ve updated
our collection of industry resources with
a new look, which we
hope you’ll enjoy.
As in issues past, our
Resource Directory
provides a yellow pages
of sorts for the localization industry, grouped
by category and covering everything from localization services to blogs.
If you’re looking for partners, vendors or learning
opportunities, this is the place.
We have two new articles as well — one by members
of our editorial board covering predictions for 2016,
and another by Benjamin B. Sargent looking at trends
in software development.
Next up, our Index offers an alphabetized breakdown of what we covered in 2015, by author, subject
and title. New this year, we’ve combined our glossary
and acronym list and added graphical illustrations
where appropriate.
The issue is available for free download at
multilingual.com/resource-directory and contains
live links to the articles listed in the Index as well as
to the companies in the Resource Directory.

Predictions from our editorial board
on their areas of expertise
Miguel Á. Bernal-Merino
game localization
Miguel Á. Bernal-Merino works
nonstop to raise awareness of issues
within the game and localization
industries. He holds a doctorate
in video game localization and is
currently lecturing at the University
of Roehampton in London.
❑❑Acclaimed IP — label permanence
This trend has been growing steadily in the past decade
and all evidence suggests that it will continue to expand.
The future belongs to companies that understand glocalization and cocreation, and prepare for them from product design by partnering with experts in localization, not
only because foreign clients are as worthy as local ones,
but also because they are much, much more numerous.
Ultan Ó Broin
In the coming years, the term glocal, coined in the early
1990s, will continue to gain preponderance in the game
localization industry and the true power of the concept will
crystalize in games that are better adapted to withstand the
challenges of rapidly maturing markets. Partnering between
game developers, publishers and localizers will become
commonplace and more localization companies will add
specialist engineering, artistic and branding services to
their portfolios, enabling them not only to translate texts
and localize products, but also to have the kind of input that
enhances game products creatively and culturally. This will
turn them into stronger intellectual properties (IPs) abroad,
more profitable and legally reliable. All these changes will
help the game industry to reach a forecasted $100 billion
global market value by the end of 2017.
The term glocal itself is a reminder of why companies
will in the coming years have to consider glocalizing their
business strategy and their production:
❑❑Growth readiness
❑❑Legal compliance
❑❑Outsmart copycats
❑❑Charm skippers

Ultan Ó Broin is responsible for
enabling Oracle partners in user
interface design and in development productivity best practices
worldwide. He has two decades of
experience and insight into
globalization issues.
I
expect the localization industry will see a reemphasis
on the use of cloud application programming interfaces
and web services, and will also see the continued emergence of the "localization as a service" model aimed at
developers. We will see enterprise integration and extensibility with other products and services. We will also see
several localization start-ups fall by the wayside. Otherwise, 2016 will be much the same as 2015 — the industry
will fail to deal with the critical dimension of language
and culture as user experience and instead chase technology trends such as the Internet of Things and wearable
technology. The topic of machine translation will continue
to bore.

ing model and set of resources in their
vendor database.
Decisions about localization will
increasingly be made using hard
return on investment (ROI) data.
Today, the ROI of creating a single
piece of content, in any language, can
be tracked within marketing automation platforms. Now that marketing
technologies can tell marketers how
many visitors, leads and customers
they obtain for specific pieces of content, companies make better decisions about their spending to create
more content, or to translate adapt,
and optimize existing content.
I have written about this elsewhere
(as in the January edition of the TAUS
Review), and I stand by those words:
"Once we step away from the tyranny
of the word, we might just discover that
we needed our blindfolds removed so
we could see the projects we sell in a
different way, allowing us to perceive
additional services we have to offer."
If that's not a positive outlook on
2016, I don't know what could be.
Aki Ito
business
I
n 2016, localization will benefit
from an existing trend in marketing
— marketers are currently attempting to solve problems for customers
by creating high-value, helpful online
content that is easily discoverable
and optimized for search. The focus
on quality instead of quantity will
have a ripple effect in the localization
industry. Instead of merely seeking
high-volume projects, localization
providers will be valued for their ability to enhance, repurpose and adapt
content to make it culturally relevant
instead, to boost the overall performance of that content.
For example, instead of just translating a given campaign, a marketing
team might decide they need to create
an adapted version of the campaign
with different content, but will require
that all of the content be optimized
for search. Localization vendors with
search engine optimization expertise
and a transcreation specialization will
be highly sought after. Partnering with
marketing agencies will be important
for localization service providers
(LSPs), since marketing agencies can
rarely execute on such campaigns
without localization vendor support,
and vice versa. These situations will
require more customized, specialized
work than most LSPs are accustomed
to handling, and a very different pric-

Aki Ito has been involved in the
localization industry since 1996. He
previously served on the Globalization
and Localization Association board of
directors and is currently a consultant.
Jost Zetzsche is a translator, a localization consultant and a widely published
author on the technical aspects of
translation. A native of Germany, he
earned a PhD in the field of Chinese.
I
think 2016 will be remarkable for
one reason in particular. In 2015 we
saw the beginnings of the long-awaited
reunion of translation memory and
machine translation technologies.
These two technologies ran side by side
for several years, but only very recently
have they started to "talk" to each other
across different technologies.
Yet to be implemented, however,
are ways to measure the productivity
increase of these new and burgeoning bridges to data access. And
this is where the challenge — and
opportunity — for 2016 lies: we have
to find new and better ways to bill
for our services so we can finally get
away from the restrictive word count
paradigm.
I
think the phrase “business intelligence” will prevail in the industry in
2016. It became a buzz phrase in 2014
and 2015, but it has yet to actually
be implemented. This is not uncommon — for example, people started to
talk about ROI and key performance
indicators (KPIs), and these acronyms
are popping up in presentations at
industry conferences everywhere. But
the actual implementation of business
intelligence or data analysis for the
localization business has been limited
to a small group of large enterprises
and some advanced LSPs. We will
probably see more small companies
and LSPs using data to make business
decisions around localization. We will
also see some tools enhancing the
analytics and reporting features to
support the needs of localization managers as they present their business
cases using the language of C-level
executives — namely, numbers. [M]

Four software development
trends adopted by digital
marketing
by Benjamin B. Sargent
Benjamin B. Sargent is a content globalization
strategist at CSA Research. This article is adapted
from the November 2015 CSA Research report
“Digital Campaign Management and Localization.”
Competing for mindshare in the global attention game is serious business, and many successful
companies will fail in the coming decade because of
gaps in their digital strategies. The rules for digital
campaign management change as fast — or even
faster — than most companies can adapt to and follow. But as the marketing profession wakes up each
day to a changing landscape, digital teams gain more
stature, funding and staffing.
Digital is undoubtedly strategic. In many
industries, it dominates the corporate marketing
agenda in terms of number of personnel and total
budget. Common Sense Advisory (CSA Research)
has identified four trends that jumped the fence
from software development to digital marketing.
They come with important ramifications for content marketers and language managers.
1
The “mobile first” phenomenon extends to content
creation. Many software development organizations have
pivoted to a mobile-first approach, in which software is
built for mobile platforms and then adapted for web and
desktop applications, rather than the reverse. Similarly,
copywriting and creative development are shifting to a

mobile-oriented approach, where writers and designers
write for the small screen first.
2
Marketing scrums make for good campaign management. Agile methodology, widely used in progressive
software engineering organizations, also makes perfect
sense in the world of digital marketing. Campaign management teams, adrift in a sea of change, are gravitating
to agile as a way of creating order and regularity in an
otherwise chaotic process. Localization teams that also
serve engineering may adopt the methodology as a matter
of course for those projects. Campaign teams can benefit
from that experience by inviting localization managers
onto their digital marketing scrums.
3
Simultaneous copy creation broadens the scope of
localization strategies. The compressed language of an original user interface may be confusing to localization engineers
and translators without a lot of context. To help them out,
some app developers provide brief descriptions of software
elements, such as buttons and labels. Others have realized
they can skip the strings and send just the wireframes for
localization, which can result in a more compact, more characteristic user experience in the local language. Simultaneous

copy creation applies this principle to
digital content. In addition to improved
clarity and creativity, this method accelerates campaign execution. Critical
elements can be delivered faster when
all copywriters, including English, start
at the same moment — as soon as the
campaign brief is ready.
4
Formalized use of terminology,
translation memory and style guides.
Traditional marketing practices often
prevented or discouraged use of these
basic tools for increasing speed, consistency and brand coherence. Long
the norm in software localization,
these language management capabilities strongly benefit digital campaigns.
In addition to the campaign brief, elements created via simultaneous copy
development or transcreation should
draw on the same international style
guides and glossaries as the translated
elements. Elements relying on direct
translation receive a further boost
from translation memory.
One of the many differences
between old-school marketing and
today’s digital model is that traditional
media campaigns tended to be run by
the big agencies, outside the company.
Today, everyone plays a role in cultivating and sharing digital content, as
employees in all departments share a
colleague’s blog or post news stories
mentioning their new product.
Gradually, the concept of content
experience will replace today’s notion
of linear customer journeys. In content
experience, users move from search
engines such as Baidu where brand
is stripped out, to content discovery
engines like YouTube where branded
experiences happen inside someone
else’s customer experience, to corporate sites with full control — all without
losing the threads of continuity and
relevance. To achieve global content
experience, marketing teams should
draw on the experience and knowledge of localization professionals and
bring them onboard the campaign
management team, from strategy and
planning through to execution and
measurement. These experts already
know how to orchestrate the torrential
volume and the growing complexity
of people, processes and technologies
required to win the attention game for
global mindshare. [M]

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.

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

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 marketing creates interest in a
product through educational, entertaining
or informative material. Successful content
marketing relies on providing consistent,
high-quality content designed to solve
people’s problems.
controlled authoring: writing for reuse
and translation. Controlled authoring
is a process that integrates writing with
localization so that the text can be written
for reuse and at the same time written for
efficient translation.

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.

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

“The future is already here —
it’s just not evenly distributed.”
William Gibson
Ultralocalization
will replace
localization.
Millions of new consumers will come
online and flex their purchasing power
across Africa, Southeast Asia and South
America. Even fluent speakers of dominant
languages will come to expect content and
products in their first language or dialect.
Such ultralocalization will soon become
a disruptive force in many industries,
transforming what we now consider
“long-tail languages” into mainstream
targets for savvy global organizations.
