Globalization becomes essential
The tragic events of the last few months have put world events back at the center of attention. The terrible attacks of September 11 and the rise of terrorism emphasize the need for better communications amongst peoples of the world. From a business point of view, the fast slowdown in the US economy is forcing companies to look for growth elsewhere. Increasing your revenues worldwide by localizing your product, marketing, sales and support information in the language of your customers seems a natural way to move ahead. True but not  trivial, even in the internet age. Translation and localization services have too often proven to be exceedingly expensive, slow and of less than desirable quality. This is changing!  To ensure that you get the proper ROI from your localization efforts, innovative companies like iTranslator are making the most use of translation technology to support a faster, more effective human translation process with rigorous cost and quality control. With the right localization partner at your side, the world is at your fingertip!

How can companies benefit from Machine Translation?
While Machine Translation (MT) is still only between 70-80% accurate, when put to use in specific applications, it has provided companies with significant efficiencies and economies. The largest use for Machine Translation today is in the area of Customer Care Here are some excellent applications of Machine Translation (MT): On-the-fly translation of very time sensitive text, email alerts - MT provides the gist Training manuals, written with MT in mind- the end product may in turn be enhanced with human post editing Knowledge bases, technical support documentation for online customer extranets Consider the ROI in deploying Machine Translation for customer issues and resolutions. An average customer support call costs $10-15 to process. A knowledge base which informs global customers in their native language of solutions to their issues can offset 2,000 calls away from the Call Center, resulting in a saving of $20,000 each month. The following languages are supported: German, Spanish, French, Italian. For more information on how we can integrate MT to dynamically translate your enterprise information, contact address@hidden.
