As we always say, your message is our mission. The message, of course, is all yours. The content, the tone, and the channels of distribution are up to you. And we don’t need to tell you that managing all of that content can get mighty complicated in just one language. You’ll have documents and materials of many types, to be created according to your established standards and delivered on deadline. They’ll likely need to be reviewed, too, at least once, and then adjusted further. And content creators don’t work for free, which means you’ll have a budget to manage. It’s a little like herding cats, isn’t it?
The thought of handling all that can make the mere idea of doing it in multiple languages look like an unconquerable mountain. Be assured that it isn’t. We should know, we do it every day!
We’ve written before about communicating your needs with your translation team, and how to create great content with translation in mind from the start. A solid localization strategy is essential for global success, and even though we’re happy to consult with you if you’d like us to, that ball is ultimately in your court. Still, moving your content scheme into three languages means three times the management, and monitoring, and budget-watching. How to keep a handle on all that?
Enter the Language Portal.
You’ll find plenty of info about the portal at the above link, and just by scanning back through our old blog titles. It’s a part of our operation that we’re very proud of, and we feel it merits frequent reminders. Just know that with a phone call to us, and a little set-up, you can have a direct line of contact with your project management team. Through the portal, you can submit request for quotes or orders straight to the team, along with your documents, without the risk of e-mails going astray or unanswered. You can monitor the status of your various translation projects at any stage, from any computer, 24/7/365. And when it’s time to mind your expenses, you can access your complete translation history with us, including a view of your total translation spend.
So, give us a call and let us show you what the Language Portal can do – you’ll find that mountain is eminently conquerable!
