Survey shows what language
industry suppliers are thinking
About This Issue
any readers tell us that they keep their back issues of MultiLingual
Computing & Technology 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
2005 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, readers will easily locate language-industry companies as well as information
published in the pages of MultiLingual Computing & Technology during 2005.
For this fourth annual Resource Directory and Index, we worked with Common
Sense Advisory consultancy CE0 Donald A. DePalma to survey language services
providers and independent software vendors about their attitudes and outlook for
2006 and beyond. His article (the pages with red tabs) is another important contribution that we believe you will find useful through the year.
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
specializations.
Index pages (gold tabs) include authors, titles and topics, arranged in a single
alphabet; a list of acronyms and abbreviations; a glossary of language industry terminology; and an index of advertisers appearing in this directory.
This directory is also available online at www.multilingual.com/resourceDirectory
for your quick reference and for download. We hope you find this special issue and
the many other MultiLingual Computing, Inc., resources helpful.

Survey shows what language
industry suppliers are thinking
Donald A. DePalma
he just-ended Year of the Rooster was a heady
year in the language services and tools business. The first few months saw some smallscale acquisitions, capped by eight days in
June that realigned the industry. Against the
backdrop of Lionbridge acquiring Bowne
Global and SDL buying TRADOS, the practice of translation
and localization landed on the front pages of international
newspapers as companies sought new growth opportunities
abroad, governments felt the consequences of chronic underinvestment in language, jobs migrated to the lowest cost geographies, and the world became a much flatter place.
T
The survey itself
MultiLingual Computing, Inc., sponsored a Common Sense Advisory survey on the attitudes of suppliers of translation, localization and globalization
services and software. Factoring out incomplete responses, we netted completed surveys from 266 language service providers (LSPs), a term we
coined several years ago to describe agencies that offer translation, localization and interpretation services. We also received another 44 responses
from independent software vendors (ISVs), companies that derive their revenue from developing and selling software used in some way to localize
software or translate content.
Because we targeted executives in the corner office, the respondents
skewed toward the more experienced end of the spectrum. Fully 84% of the
LSPs had been in the industry for five or more years, while 67% of the ISVs
have been around that long.
The companies mostly were what government agencies would call
small businesses, with employee counts of fewer than 100. There are
only a few companies with staff greater than 1,000 in the language services and tools business.
Most of the respondents were European (48.3% of the LSPs, 48.9% of
the ISVs), followed by North Americans (34.6% and 39.5%, respectively).
The balance came from Latin America, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
We conducted the survey in four parts: part 1), a general section for
both LSPs and ISVs, forking either to 2) a section for LSPs or 3) ISVs;
and 4) another set of general questions for both LSPs and ISVs. We followed the same structure in this article, beginning with the questions
common to all respondents, moving on to discuss the LSP- and ISV-specific questions, and then finishing up with industry supplier plans and
expectations for the coming years.
Where is the language industry in 2005?
Until June 2005 every language service and technology provider
aspired to be number four, just behind Bowne Global Solutions,
Lionbridge Technologies and SDL International. We found some contenders for this slot as we began looking into government-focused LSPs
(for example, L-3), government-owned (Canada Translation Bureau)
translation agencies, and large-scale interpretation services (Language
Line). Any one of those could legitimately claim a seat at the adult table.
Then in June 2005 SDL announced that it would buy TRADOS,
becoming the largest LSP cum ISV in the world. A week later Lionbridge
concluded the longest pas de deux in recorded mergers and acquisitions (M&A) history, to no one’s surprise acquiring Bowne Global and
announcing plans that it would grow to a half-billion dollars in revenue
within several years. Now everyone scrambled to be number three, a slot
taken by government supplier L-3, which acquired its rival, Titan, earlier
in the year.
The Lionbridge and SDL acquisitions dramatically changed the market
landscape, causing LSPs and ISVs alike to think about their own growth
plans, M&A activities and, of course, exit strategies. Those deals were
bracketed by other publicized transactions, including Merrill’s purchase
of P.H. Brink, TransPerfect’s acquisition of Crimson, and Transware’s
buying of GlobalSight. Even smaller LSPs such as M2 got into the buying
fray. We have fielded inquiries from other firms, both inside and outside
the industry, so we can be sure that the M&A game is still afoot.
What is driving investor interest is scale and economies of scale in a
market that Common Sense Advisory estimates to be US$8.8 billion
worldwide, about $2.8 billion of which can be attributed to government
buying. Since 9/11 and with the addition of ten new countries to the
European Union, the volume of government-mandated translations has
increased significantly.
The commercial market includes revenue from non-LSP sectors,
including marketing agencies, staff at providers of other services such as
accounting, and people at providers of other business services such as

underground economy in translation exists due to few barriers of entry.
Know someone with a language need? Speak the language? Got a PC?
That’s about all it takes to enter the business, as some of our translation
agency respondents noted in the free-form section of the survey:
“The industry is not developing a rational model to adapt to
what is now community interpreting on the cheap coupled
with amateurish translation by nonnative speakers dwelling
in-country.” [LSP]
“The rates keep falling and the quality as well. Clients are not
worried with quality at all, the cheapest is the best.” [LSP]
“What do I see? Everything will always be cheaper and cheaper. Lots
of agencies will have to close, lots of clients will just buy automated
translation software instead of ‘manual translation.’ Most likely
only Asia will manage to make a profit of the situation.” [LSP]
Regional emphasis is likely to shift
In the more visible part of the market that we can monitor and measure,
we always find ourselves focusing on the North Atlantic region where most
language services are sold, managed and executed. With the world’s balance of trade changing and countries such as China coming on strong,
everyone realizes that buying and selling dynamics will change over the next
few years. To find out how the market will change, we asked the entire sample which were their top three markets in 2005 — and how they expected
that to change over the next five years (see the graph “Markets in 2005 and
2010”). Where the money is today will surprise no one.
The European Union (EU), North America and non-EU Europe make
up the top three markets today and in 2010 (the lower numbers in the
chart indicate the biggest markets). Interestingly, the mostly North Atlantic
respondents do not see much change over the coming five years. When
we look at emerging markets, however, we see an increasing amount of
branded product activity coming out of East Asia. CNOOC, Lenovo and
Qingdao Haier have all been in the news in the last year, each pushing
into the branded product space via acquisition. All this activity means
more products sourced and marketed from these emerging markets.
Over time we expect many Chinese original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) to follow the lead of companies such as Korea’s LG and Samsung
34
in segueing from being builders of “white box” (that is, unbranded OEM)
goods for other companies to being globally branded powerhouses in
their own right. That change will dramatically shift the buying nexus for
language services, away from the formalized dance of North Atlantic suppliers and buyers to the more chaotic “mosh pit” of emerging markets
with untested suppliers, neophyte buyers and unreasonably low or high
expectations for the transaction. Thus, we predict that our predominantly
American and European respondents will likely find themselves scrambling over the next few years to shore up their weak or nonexistent Asian
operations. Some respondents already see this:
“Chinese will become the most sought-after language after
English and Spanish.” [LSP]
“I guess that China will be THE issue in the next few years.” [LSP]
“I have no idea what will happen . . . but I should learn
Chinese.” [LSP]
Today’s buyers vary by what they’re buying
Most buyers acquire language services at the business unit level, while
tools tend to be bought in roughly equal measure by business units, software development teams or technical publications departments (see the
table “Where the buyers have their offices”).
What kinds of companies are buying language services and tools? It
should come as no surprise that two traditional strongholds of localization
— technology and medical — continue to be strong buyers of services and
tools (see the graph “Technology and medical sectors top list”). Advertisers
and marketers, manufacturing concerns and financial services show up as
promising opportunities, both internationally and for domestic multicultural
markets such as Latinos in the United States, Francophones in Canada and
Swedish speakers in Finland. Besides these segments, our report “Beggars
at the Globalization Banquet” pointed to Fortune 500 electronics, chemical
and energy firms that derived 40% or more of their revenue from international markets. To grow, language service and software suppliers have to
break out of their software comfort zone to other segments that depend just
as much on language- and locale-sensitive offerings.
Big M&A has unexpected beneficial impact
In this market that is both very different and much the same as it was a
year ago, we asked what impact 2005’s mergers and acquisitions had on
their business. Among the respondents, roughly two-thirds (64.8% of

LSPs and 72.1% of ISVs) said that it did not affect their company. Just
16.7% of LSPs and 9.3% of ISVs said that they were concerned about their
ability to compete. Nearly 8% of LSPs and almost 14% of ISVs asserted
that it actually made their jobs easier.
At first, these numbers seemed out of step with the high level of concern
expressed by LSPs in the GALA survey following SDL’s acquisition of TRADOS.
However, the respondents reflected typical post-acquisition fear, uncertainty
and doubt. They were unaffected or felt that their jobs were made easier
because both buyers and suppliers always experience some fallout from
mergers. For example, favorite project managers disappear; sales reps are
let go or reassigned; internal systems change and confuse sales cycles for a
while; and product and service offerings change. Meanwhile, aggressive sales
reps at smaller, nimble agencies find that it is easier to sell against a behemoth that cannot control all its limbs. Those who said the acquisition made
their jobs more difficult were typically those who focus on exactly the same
targets as the larger players and have trouble differentiating their offer.
That said, our respondents still harbored concerns about 2005’s software consolidation:
“TRADOS and SDLX were necessary evils in our business. Now
that they’ve merged, the fear is that the competitor is selling
you their technology (for the time being) and the small players,
too small to have R&D budgets to build their own tools, are
stuck with what’s out on the market and the nature of how that
plays out.” [LSP]
“Language service providers are very concerned that a large
competitor (SDL) now owns the most widely used language
tool set and are looking for alternative solutions.” [ISV]
LSPs deliver translation and localization
with humans and technology
We asked the LSPs what business they thought they were in, asking
them which verb they would use to describe what it was they did. Not surprisingly, nearly three-quarters said they “translate” (see the graph “‘We
translate, thank you very much,’ may not be the right answer”). About a
third chose “localize” as their descriptive verb, while roughly 29% told us
they tell new acquaintances that they “enable global communication.”
To be honest, we can’t think of anyone in this industry who has ever
introduced himself or herself as an enabler of global communication, but
this is definitely the direction in which we think LSPs should be moving. In
this very competitive market, LSPs need to get beyond the simple verbs
translate and localize. Instead, they need to present themselves not as
translation or localization services but as agencies to manage risk,
improve process, aggregate quality translators and guarantee quality for
their clients. For software vendors, it will require crafting a credible message around improving reproducibility, decreasing cost and time, and
increasing knowledge transfer and collaboration. This will become more
important as client-side teams and budgets shrink, thus raising buyer
demand for outsourcers who can provide more.
Our respondents agree with the need to do more:
“It will be a big challenge to avoid the ultimate featurization
and commoditization of our services. If the only thing that
truly distinguishes language service providers is language
translation, then we’re in trouble because the translators are
the ones who actually do that. If any significant client-side
company out there ever decides it’s had enough, it will just buy
the entire industry, and that will be that. We have GOT to, as
an industry, break out of the teensy-weensy space of localization or translation and become purveyors of something that is
actually important. Otherwise, we face the inevitable complete
marginalization in the world of business.” [LSP]
“I maintain the hope that the industry will eventually take a logical shape. Perhaps it is overoptimistic, but the growing importance of achieving global reach suggests that buyers of language
services will need to understand how to do so smartly. That
would certainly cause some changes in our industry, ensuring
that the companies providing a quality and value adding service
would prevail, whereas others would fail and enhance the
stature of translation/localization in the business world.” [LSP]
“Better development and machine
translation will actually grow
business as it will make globalization processes more fluid with
higher productivity. The people
who keep up with technology while
simultaneously investing in their
people and processes will do very
well. I think that understanding
our customers’ market and technical obstacles will grow to be a
much greater differentiator on the
localization side.” [ISV]
LSPs live and
die by technology
‘We translate, thank you very much,’ may not be the right answer
We have characterized translation and
localization as a human-delivered service
not unlike accounting or payroll. Lionbridge
and Transware have picked up this theme,
talking about the delivery of translation as a
35
In the final analysis, technology remains a
dual-edged sword for these translation firms. At
the same time they plan to spend more, and several LSPs worried that looming technology such
as machine translation would undermine their
value proposition.
“It’s only a matter of time before
machine translation becomes an
acceptable alternative. When that happens, our industry will be decimated.
Those left standing will likely be in project management.” [LSP]
Technology and medical sectors top list
Missing features cause LSPs to build rather than buy
“I believe that technology will continue
to improve to the point that machine
translation could send many of us packing.” [LSP]
“The language services industry is
heading towards a more technological
era. Whereas translation software will
assist translators in the future, it will
never replace them. Yet, translators will
also have to be technologically savvy
and know what software is out there
and how to use it. Even modern software right now requires translators to
undergo some training. In the year
2010, translators will be completely different than what they were ten years
ago, and what they are today. Writing
on pen and paper has been out for
years, and translating simply on a Word document is just not
going to cut it in 2010.” [LSP]
managed service. Core to this service is a server-load of technology that

come from?
A recurring debate at most industry conferences and within trade
Nearly half (46.7%) of the LSPs told us that they buy their technology,
associations such as GALA is whether translators should be certified,
while another 30.4% purchase most but build some software. Just 12%

Most LSPs think that it’s a critical issue – 43.6% think it’s very important,
that are left build everything. Given the choice of software for translation,
36.5% think it’s important (see the chart “Translator certification imporlocalization and global information management, why do language sertant to 80% of LSPs”). Our a priori dismissive comment would be “Who

would think that it’s not important? And why?”

require (see “Missing features cause LSPs to build rather than buy”).
However, most have real-world problems with certifying their translators.
Some LSPs told us they didn’t know about some language software
while others say that the available solutions are badly marketed.
These responses should guide ISVs looking to increase their
sales to do two things: 1) talk to their prospects to figure out what
they need and how current software falls down on the job; and 2)
spend some money marketing products. World-class software without good marketing, sales and support is merely an exercise in
navel gazing.
Despite the perceived shortcoming of today’s software solutions, LSPs are optimistic about technology and plan to use more of
it. In the free-form comments, many flagged the increasing importance of technology to the business of translation. Looking ahead,
48% of LSPs plan to spend more on software, compared to 43%
who will hold the line on technology spending. Just a scant 8.6%
said they will allocate less of their budgets to technology spending
in the coming year.
Translator certification important to 80% of LSPs
36
Plans for English still outstrip all other languages
For example, who could certify a translator from Pashto into English for
in-depth financial analysis? Today it’s largely universities with little realworld experience and trade associations trying to satisfy their members
who do the certifying. The roughly 20% who say that certification doesn’t
matter are saying that theory is nice, but in the real world, certification
doesn’t matter.
Nonetheless, certification is — and will remain — a hot topic for
service providers as they try to establish their value to their clients and
educate them to the need for quality translation.
“In the United States, we need a national standard for
interpreters! California’s is extremely difficult, and lots of
states don’t have anything. We need something in the middle to
allow good quality interpreters with a nationwide acceptance
of their certification other than Federal!” [LSP]
“We need to establish a credible certification routine for translators and interpreters in the United States. The current process
is flawed and a farce.” [LSP]
“We have to improve language education so that there will be
fewer bad or mediocre translators on the market, set standards
in order to show the customer the difference between a cheap
language dealer and a professional LSP, convince the
customers that high-quality language service has its
price.” [LSP]
ISVs supply language-centric
technology to clients and LSPs
We had fewer responses from independent software vendors, reflecting the sub-US$100 million market in which they operate. This market is
incredibly small when you consider the diversity of technologies on offer
— translation memory, terminology management, machine translation,
translation workflow and assorted utilities. Given the small size of this
industry, it’s important to see how well they fit into the overall ecosystem
of software — corporate and otherwise.
ISVs are certainly in the mainstream of computing, with high concentrations of standalone (desktop) and client/server offerings (45.5% and
34.1%, respectively). The web represents a small (9.1%) but a growing
platform for them. Fully three-quarters of the ISVs use Windows as their
primary development platform, certainly mirroring the general marketplace. Every single one of the ISVs who responded sells software on
Windows, with decreasing percentages for Macintosh (32%), Unix
(34%) and Linux (46%), and double-digit showings for mobile systems
from Microsoft, Symbian and Palm.
Two years ago we saw slim support for non-English developers in the
globalization management and translation workflow systems (for example, Idiom and SDL). Based on that finding, we asked the ISVs about
their support for non-Anglophone developer interfaces and documentation. Nearly 57% said they supported non-English interfaces, an encouraging sign in a marketplace that has been ironically English-centric in its
toolbox. Looking ahead, we saw increasing interest in other languages,
37
responses, none suggested investing in junk bonds, poker or the
third race at the Belmont horse
racing track.
Finally, as a complement to the
question we asked of LSPs (“How
do you describe your job?”) — we
asked these executives about their
personal goals in the language
industry. We offered a whimsical
suggestion of “helping the world
get along just a little bit better,” a
choice that 40.5% of the respondents chose. That was followed by
“making enough money to buy my
own island” (29.9% — our personal favorite), and “selling out to
a bigger player” (17.9%).
Growth plans for the second half of the decade
but English still dominates the mix (see the graph “Plans for English still
outstrip all other languages”).
Finally, as a corollary to developer interfaces and documentation in
other languages, we asked about how these ISVs support their customers
— mostly developers and translators — in their non-Anglophone markets. Domestically, they mostly use internal staff to support their customers, but internationally they use a combination of outsourced support,
distributors and resellers to offer in-country support.
Plans for next five years
To close out the survey, we broadened our queries to find out how
LSPs and ISVs intend to grow their businesses, what their investment priorities are, and what their personal goals are. Asked how they will grow
over the next five years, most figured on partnerships (53%) and subcontracting (36%). Reflecting the limited capital available to some of
these suppliers, acquisition was down the list at 16% (see the graph
“Growth plans for the second half of the decade”).
Knowing how they plan to grow, we also asked hypothetically what
they would do if they had a large amount of money to invest in their
businesses. The answers clustered around sales and marketing, production and technology, indicating a strong interest in investing in
basics that can scale their operations (see the graph “Money in hand,
companies would invest in sales”). In the free-form section for other
Summary and conclusions
Our respondents proved to be a thoughtful, passionate, well-educated
group of businesspeople and operational executives. In responses to our
open-ended questions, they expressed concerns about the very foundations of the language business and thoughts about where it has to go —
and how quickly they must go there. Their comments echoed conversations that we have had with many of them over the years.
But over and over we find that their hard-earned insight does not get
translated into marketable actions. Many LSPs still position themselves
with generic qualifiers — highest quality, very responsive, close to
the customer, lowest cost. Meanwhile, software vendors cite generic
benefits such as cheaper and faster as their differentiators.
While these are all important attributes, these anodyne benefits are
waypoints on the journey to commoditization.
LSPs must present themselves not as simple translation agencies but
as partners that manage risk, improve process, aggregate the best translators, and guarantee quality for their clients. Software vendors need to
craft a credible message around more reproducible results, greater
consistency, and increased knowledge transfer and collaboration.
Finally, all providers in the global information management market
need to overcome what we see as the supreme irony of the language
business. These LSPs and ISVs help professionals in organizations,
large and small, express themselves and their value propositions in
multiple languages to markets
around the world. But ironically,
most providers still have difficulty
conveying their own value as
critical enablers of global communication and commerce to the
executives who sign the checks.
Translating this benefit into business terms will help LSPs and
globalization software vendors
avoid the commoditization that
many of them fear. M

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
