How one company scored new revenues
with its global content system
Launching a major new product
holds immense promise — and
risk. One industry leader set out
to meet this challenge by educating
its professional and consumer markets six months before the product
shipped. As the product moved
from research, through market trials to general release, key content
assets had to be created, approved,
translated, and published. Training
materials for professionals, lifestyleoriented content for consumers,
marketing collateral, product labeling were needed on three continents
in half a dozen languages.
That’s where Lionbridge came
in. Working directly with the
systems integrator, Lionbridge
designed a data object model to
support global content relationships. Multilingual workflows
were added allowing in-country
managers to approve translations.
Best of all, off-site translation
work could now be controlled
seamlessly using the existing, inhouse enterprise content management system.
The result? Accelerated global
market adoption. Rapid recovery
of R&D costs. Increased profit.
Now that translates into ROI in any language. Brilliant!

that particular region. True localization considers language, culture, customs
and the characteristics of the target locale. While it frequently involves
changes to the software’s writing system, it may also change the keyboard
usage, fonts, date, time and monetary formats. Graphics, colors and sound
effects also need to be culturally appropriate. In L10N, the common abbreviation for localization, the 10 refers to the ten letters between the L and the N.

Translation Memory (TM). A special database that stores previously
translated sentences which can then be reused, in full or in part, on a sentence-by-sentence basis. The database matches source to target language pairs.
Translation Portal. A Web site or service that offers a broad array of
resources via the Internet, thus providing a marketplace for translation agencies, freelance translators and customers to exchange services.

Pseudo-localization. The process of programmatically “translating” all
the localizable resources of a product, then building and testing the product
as if it were a real localization.
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.
R
Radical. The root or base form of a word. The building blocks of Chinese
characters of which the most common set contains 214 radicals. Radicals
themselves are composed of strokes.
S
