New customers require complete, TMX-certified localization solution from one vendor

Maidenhead , United Kingdom

SDL Desktop Products, a division of SDL International, the world’s largest provider of language translation software, announced today that Glyph Language Services has acquired new customers with the use of SDL Localization Suite.

 With customers such as Microsoft, Starbucks, America Online and Northwest Airlines, Glyph Language Services, formerly a division of Seattle Language Academy, is based in Seattle Washington and maintains a highly professional profile in the area and worldwide. Poised to gain more market share and accept a broader range of localization projects, Glyph was looking for a productivity solution that could handle more than just simple office and documentation work. By combining SDLX for translation memory, SDLinsight for software localization, and Quality Assurance tools, Glyph was able to strategically position themselves to gain more customers with the use of SDL Localization Suite.

“We had a long, hard look at the future of translation technology and it seemed that the only things the industry was talking about were industry standards such as TMX and the complete solution in SDL Localization Suite,” said Aaron Schliem, Director of Operations at Glyph Language Services. “With our rapidly growing customer base, SDL Localization Suite provides us with all of the required tools to effectively handle any project our new customers send us. Along with the guarantee of a TMX Certified product range, we’ve already been able to take on more client work and secure key wins with new customers.”

“We have seen an exponential increase in the amount of companies requiring the use of TMX Certified products and those requiring a complete solution for the entire localization process,” said Keith Laska, General Manager of SDL Desktop Products. “Companies are quickly discovering that they can deliver both with the use of SDL Localization Suite.”
