SDL Desktop Products, a division of SDL International, the world’s largest provider of language translation software, is continuing to convert customers to SDLX in record numbers.

 Parenty-Reitmeier, one of Canada's largest Translation Companies that specializes in mechanical and technical documentation translation, has converted their 26 licenses from TRADOS® to SDLX.

“We chose SDLX to replace our existing toolset because it provided an all-around more manageable, future-proofed solution,” said Diane Reitmeier, Vice President, Parenty Reitmeier, Winnipeg, Canada. “Having one single user interface instead of multiple translation environments enables us to work much more efficiently as translators, and project managers do not need to learn various complicated applications. The functionality of SDLX Elite™ allows us to provide free SDLX editions to an unlimited amount of freelancers to work with which means that the conversion process has been simple, quick and easy. In addition, the price of converting all our licenses to SDLX was very affordable including highly attractive upgrade paths. SDLX has always been known for superior customer support, and we’re confident that this new change will help position us to be Canada’s largest translation company.”

“We are on the verge of launching a major SDLX conversion program with a complete migration package so advantageous that customers can finally break free from proprietary software, and have the freedom to choose,” said Keith Laska, General Manager of SDL Desktop Products. “The reason that so many customers are coming to us is that we are preparing companies for the future. Our vision is clear. We supply integrated terminology, translation memory and workflow solutions. The software is XML-ready, and SDL Desktop Products is fully supported by a large, public company that invests in technology for the future. We have invested heavily to ensure that SDLX equips our customers for the future – and that investment is paying off.”

With significant gains in market share in the past few years, SDLX is quickly becoming the industry’s preferred translation memory software.
