Beyond Translation

Language service providers now offer a number of services that go beyond translation. Here are a few you may not have thought of:

“- Software conversion. For those who are in business in the text industry, this is a must. You want to expand your target market beyond your own shores, and the only way to make your software useful overseas is to offer it in the local tongue. If you offer your software only in English, it will be harder to use even for those who do speak English competently.

- International orders. Translation services can help you set up your business with international shipping options, invoices and other forms that will allow you to ship overseas. If you can send your goods to Japan and Europe, you will greatly increase your sales…

- Consultation. When your business really takes off with overseas customers, you may find yourself needing a language consultant. This is someone who knows the local tongue and can help you as a cultural ambassador. The way dialects are used has a big effect psychologically on customers. A consultant can advice you on how to go about marketing to them.”
