Press Release

Lingo Systems and MultiLingual Computing, Inc., release the fifth edition of The Guide to Translation and Localization: Preparing for the Global Marketplace

Portland, OR - Lingo Systems, a premier provider of translation and localization services, and MultiLingual Computing, Inc., have published the fifth edition of The Guide to Translation and Localization: Preparing for the Global Marketplace. For readers who are new to localization, this 128 page guide defines key terms, explains the various options for translating materials, identifies issues to consider when selecting a vendor, describes the localization process itself, and provides tips to control costs and improve quality. Localization veterans will find useful information on emerging trends, as well as technical discussions about software localization and the latest publishing techniques.

The previous four editions of The Guide to Translation and Localization were all award winners. New for the fifth edition, Lingo Systems has expanded the scope to include guest chapters from other industry leaders with proven solutions for helping companies expand globally. Among the topics they address are single-source content management, testing and integration of hardware and software, developing a global brand, cultural training and awareness, and the future of the localization industry.

"We are very proud of The Guide to Translation and Localization", says Scott Ludwigsen, Lingo Systems' President. "Over the last six years we have distributed more than 15,000 copies, and we are told that many readers consider it to be the definitive source for information about localization. The inclusion of guest chapters and the resulting opportunity to present broader globalization solutions for companies expanding into new markets is especially exciting. We are confident that you will find these contributions to be both informative and entertaining."
