The boom in international trade has brought with it an increased demand for addressing local consumers in their native language and cultural idiom. Given the complex nature and new media involved in communicating with their constituent markets, companies are developing ever more complex tools and techniques for managing foreign-language communication. This book presents select case studies that illustrate the state-of-the-art of language management. It covers a cross-section of sectors, each of which has particular subtleties in language management: • software localization • finance • medical devices • automotive The book also covers a cross-section of topical and strategic issues: • time-to-market (scheduling challenges; simultaneous release in multiple languages) • global terminology management • leveraging Internet, intranet, and email • centralized versus decentralized management models • financial and budgeting techniques • human factors; management issues unique to language projects • technological innovation in language management (terminology tools, automatic translation) The target audience is language professionals involved with the management aspect of language projects. This includes translators and linguists, managers at language-service providers, language managers at manufacturing/service companies, educators and language/translation students. The heart of the book is the concept of the case study, particularly the Harvard Business School case-study model. Industry leaders and analysts provide some 15 case studies covering the spectrum of language applications. Readable and nonacademic — it can serve both as a text for those studying language and translation, as well as those in the field who need to know the “state-of-the-art” in language management.

Differentiation Key To Success For Freelance Translators written by Ron McCoy and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-06-07 with categories.
Effective differentiation may be the single most important factor (aside from language skills) in determining the success of your career as a professional translator. It's a strong statement to be sure. You might be skeptical of its truth (and that's fair at this stage). Still in this course I will provide you with some things to consider that will lead you in the direction of realizing the immense power of the principle of differentiation. It's something every professional marketer already knows about. You as a professional freelance translator can use it to your advantage too.If you stick with the course, I'll provide you with a framework that will allow you to determine the best differentiation strategy for you as a freelance translator. No one can do this entirely for you, but I can help guide your thinking, so you can draw your own conclusions and ultimately reach some important decisions. You can also use this framework throughout your career since changes in the marketplace may necessitate adjustments along the way. The title of the first lesson, "Differentiate or Die" may be hyperbole to an extent, although it's only somewhat so. Translators who do not successfully differentiate themselves and their services in the marketplace are likely to struggle. As a result, they might eventually conclude that the field of language services is not for them. What a shame!There is a virtual sea of translators living around the world and working in the language services industry (or aspiring to). They often promote themselves as "native speakers," "talented," "having a passion for language," and in the process do virtually nothing to separate themselves from other translators in the field. What translators are not these things?Professional translators are highly skilled with language. Their services are in demand. They're typically exceptionally intelligent. Most are also awful at marketing and lack awareness of the fundamentally essential principle of differentiation. They take marketing advice from other translators (What?!). Would a professional marketer look to another marketer for translation services? It's unlikely. And if they did they'd surely be disappointed.When results don't come they're encouraged with glib, hollow statements like "be persistent" and "it takes time." Persistence and patience may be good personal attributes, but persistently and patiently doing ineffective things (and potentially even stupid things) isn't a path to advance one's professional prospects. Sadly, what holds many professional translators back in their profession has nothing to do with their ability to perform their core skill of professional translation work.
