Managing Your Multilingual Global Content

In today's global economic climate companies are looking at ways to work more efficiently and reduce costs, but companies still need to support their global customers. Having a global customer base that speaks a range of different languages means that many companies have to support an ever increasing localization requirement – putting a greater strain on already stretched resources and shrinking budgets.

For some companies there is the added complication of supporting international legislation, and for these companies, providing a local language version of product documentation is not a nice to have – it is mandatory.

This is why leading global companies are turning to Global Information Management (GIM) solutions from SDL to help automate many of the tasks associated with producing multilingual content. SDL Global Information Management technology will integrate with your existing authoring and content management systems to enable you to:

Provide global customers with local language versions of product documentation
Improve the consistency and quality of documentation irrespective of language
Reduce the time and effort needed to complete the production of multilingual documentation
Dramatically reduce translation costs through the increased reuse of translated content
Ensure compliance with international regulations related to local language documentation
Improve customer satisfaction, loyalty and retention

Documentation Goes Global

With more companies selling products in global markets, the need for improvements in localization of product documentation has come to the forefront. Companies must not only launch quality products, they must also translate and localize associated documentation. In many cases the ability to launch high quality localized documentation quickly and cheaply can make or break a successful product launch
