Online gaming and betting company betmaker.com recently announced a major investment to globalize their extensive website, choosing SDL International's Multilingual Content Management System SDLWebFlow. Combined with SDL's extensive localization services, SDLWebFlow will provide a complete global solution to maintain betmaker.com's multilingual website.

 "SDL International is able to provide us complete globalization solutions, especially updating and maintaining our dynamic Web site. This is something other firms have not been able to offer and SDL's superior technical knowledge has met our global needs," said Scott Barrett, CEO, betmaker.com.

SDL's total globalization solution has enabled betmaker.com to launch their multilingual site quickly, allowing them to gain significant market share and providing them with seamless localization services and decreased administrative costs. SDL will update the translation of the betmaker.com site into Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese before installing SDLWebFlow for the constant maintenance of the site.

"We are delighted to be associated with betmaker.com," said SDL International CEO, Mark Lancaster. "The integration of SDLWebFlow with the betmaker.com e-commerce site will increase their worldwide market share and efficiently streamline the content management of their multilingual site."

SDLWebFlow functionality includes:

  • automatic detection of changes on the original site
  • alert system that notifies members of the localization process, and provides information on status as the project progresses
  • use of "Translation Memory" software to prepare files automatically and ensure consistent re-use of previously translated content

The system thus enables the production and maintenance of complex, multilingual web sites, reducing users' multilingual systems development and 'time-to-market'. It also offers substantial savings of cost and time.
