B2B CONTENT LOCALIZATION B2B sales collateral is designed to help prospects understand a company, compare solutions, justify a purchase and move through a sales process. When that collateral enters a new market, translation alone may not be enough. Product terminology, proof points, case studies, examples, calls to action, measurements, currencies and visual references may all […]

MULTILINGUAL DESKTOP PUBLISHING Translation changes words, but it can also change the physical shape of a document.

They need enough context to understand where each string appears, what the user is doing, which terms are fixed product terminology and what technical constraints apply. A well-prepared localization package can reduce questions, inconsistent terminology, broken placeholders, text-overflow issues […]
