:: Integrating Content Development 
:: Localisation (translation, interpreting)

"Companies are under increasing pressure to produce web sites that communicate to a global audience, while keeping the web design project in budget and on time... "

This reality poses a significant challenge for companies that don’t have access to tightly integrated content development and localisation services, because, as the  production of a website progresses, content development typically continues until the last possible moment, causing frequent updates to the content after it’s sent to localisation.

In this environment, it’s critical to bring the localisation team into the process early in the web site development cycle so that potential issues and changes can be identified and risks can be managed effectively.

"Content is often created without regard for an international audience and without full comprehension of the adaptations required for localisation (translation & interpreting) "

Active Online, in conjunction with two locally based translation & interpreting partners provide an integrated content development and localisation service that incorporates the following elements:

Technical writing, technical illustration, and multimedia authoring that is optimised for translation and for translation tools. Structure and design that is internationalised, making localisation quick and easy. Integrated content development and translation processes for streamlined production.
