About the MultiLingual
2009 Resource Directory
and Editorial Index 2008
he past year has spurred localization companies and the larger world to re-evaluate
the way they do business, which in the long run should ensure that priority is given
to diversifying in any market, often resulting in a push towards globalization. Financially, the word is still quite positive in our industry, and we’ve got a healthy resource
directory for 2009 to prove it. Using this resource directory and index, you can easily locate
language-industry companies as well as the last year’s content from MultiLingual.
This seventh annual publication begins with the Resource Directory (blue tabs), listing
companies that develop and use language-related technology along with those providing
services in translation, localization, internationalization, website globalization and many
other specialties.
Next, Tom Edwards explains how to tap into already-available cultural savvy at your
company. Also included is advice from Tina Cargile and Erin Vang on managing localization
projects and from Betsy Rodriguez on how to streamline any company’s process by creating a
quality assurance system. Martin Spethman and
Nitish Singh give an overview of India’s e-business, a rapidly expanding internet market that
some predict will have as many as 80 million
users by 2010.
Index pages (gold tabs) include authors, titles
and topics from MultiLingual’s 2008 issues
arranged in a single alphabet. This is followed
by a list of acronyms and abbreviations used
in our pages during the year; a glossary of
language-industry terminology; and an index of
the advertisers appearing in this directory.
This special issue is also available at
www.multilingual.com/resourceDirectory for
your quick reference and for download.
Subscribers can access a version with live links
for easy click-through as part of our digital
edition.
We hope you find this special issue helpful
and useful throughout the coming year. Best of
luck, bonne année and Viel Erfolg!

Central to most translation processes today is the database that
contains previously translated data: the translation memory (TM). The
consistently growing size of the TM represents an ever-increasing value
to you as its owner. By the same token, it becomes increasingly attractive to TM buyers from the same industry to either jump-start a TM or
complement it with proven, industry-specific translations. Through TM
Marketplace, this asset can now provide an immediate return on investment through licensing to other parties. As TM brokers, TM Marketplace
connects corporate owners of translation assets with parties who want to
license and benefit from those linguistic resources.

Leveraging
your local culture
Tom Edwards
I
n an era of challenging economic times
for just about every sector of the global
economy, companies are always searching
for a way to cut costs while maximizing
their return on any investment, regardless
of scope or magnitude. This is no less true
for the localization industry, which arguably has
always had continual optimization and efficiency
as a cornerstone of successful localization. On top
of that is the localization industry’s well-demonstrated skill at re-using, repurposing and constantly
improving its underlying components, including
translation memories, auto-translation capabilities
and so on. In short, a true resourcefulness comes
with localizing content, particularly when dealing
with the challenges of short client deadlines, tight
budgets and the ever-increasing demands of new
linguistic and cultural territories.
With that in mind, these logistical challenges are even more
compounded when dealing with the more qualitative aspects of
Tom Edwards is owner and principal consultant
of Englobe, a Seattle-based consultancy for
geostrategic content management. He previously
spent 13 years at Microsoft as a geographer
and as its senior geopolitical strategist.
39-40 Edwards 101A.indd 39
localization, such as the nuances of geopolitical and cultural sensitivities, which can vary so widely from locale to locale. Localizing such content demands another form of expertise and skill
set that may or may not be found within a typical localization
department. In fact, it’s not a skill set typically found within the
broader realm of internationalization, and yet geoculturalization
is becoming an increasingly important aspect of preparing content for the local consumer as businesses strive to find deeper and
more meaningful ways to connect with consumers, as well as not
offend them with inappropriate content, in highly competitive
local markets. So what options do companies have?
I’d like to offer a suggestion that may be not entirely new
to some nor particularly innovative to others, yet I have found
it to be extremely useful and cost effective. Companies are
built upon the success of an employee workforce comprised
from international and culturally diverse backgrounds and
locations. This is true not only at the company’s headquarters,
wherever it may be located, but also in the broader extension of the company’s subsidiary offices and local personnel.
In today’s typical IT workplace, the employees are certainly
always valued for their specific skill sets and expertise, which
help drive forward the company’s primary mission. Yet underlying all this business and academic knowledge is an innate
cultural perspective and unique worldview. This incredibly rich
body of cultural knowledge is seldom leveraged in a meaningful way, though it can actually further help the company.
Now, I can suggest at least two straightforward reasons why
companies have been reticent to draw upon their employees’
cultural backgrounds. First, the task of extracting cultural
opinions and feedback from employees is usually not a top
| 39
1/15/09 1:43:30 PM
priority for companies trying to maximize their time investments. In other words, who’s got time to do this? Second, there
is undoubtedly a sensitivity to asking employees to offer their
cultural opinions, which can evoke comments about religious
views, social views and so on. Most companies have clear
diversity policies in effect, so it’s critical that they maintain
the utmost respect for employees’ privacy and personal views.
Even given these potential roadblocks, I can affirm with great
assurance that there are simple ways employees can contribute
their cultural knowledge to improve a company’s content. For
example, let’s say that content creators or developers have a
piece of content for which they’d like to gather opinions before
finalizing, and let’s say that this is for a product headed to the
Middle East. Imagine then that the company has an internal
website where this content creator can choose to post this piece
of content and in the process can target internal employees
based on three things: locale, language and culture. Perhaps
the designers select “Middle East” for the locale, “Arabic” for
language, and “Arab” for culture. They then upload the content
to the site and hit the “finish” button, and a notice is sent out
to the employees that there is a new request for content to be
reviewed. In case you’re wondering, such a request would not go
out to every employee in the company. In fact, it wouldn’t even
go out to everyone who might fit the demographic. The idea is
that along with the creation of such a web page, employees of
various cultural backgrounds could volunteer to receive such
review requests, so only those who actually wish to would participate. When they receive the review request, the employees
could provide a standardized “severity” rating (for example, 1-5,
with 5 being most offensive) as well as a few additional comments or suggestions for improvements.
Thus, with a basic web page and an initial effort to gather
volunteers from various cultural groups, locales and languages,
a company can have an extremely low cost method of gathering
basic, knee-jerk style cultural reactions from its employees that
can help to influence content decisions. This isn’t necessarily a
replacement for strategic expertise on geocultural risks, but it’s
certainly a good step forward for companies that have no plan
in place. Can such a basic cultural feedback mechanism actually
work? Absolutely! Speaking from my own experience at having
implemented such a system in the past, it can work very well. I
would encourage companies to think of similar ways to leverage a
potentially great cultural benefit from their employee community
at minimal investment for the greater good of the company. M

PMs and salespeople:
resolving tensions
Tina Cargile & Erin Vang
I
nteroffice games and politics are nothing
new; the trick is to avoid gunplay in the
hallways. Few office relationships are more
tenuous than those between project managers
(PMs) and salespeople. The following is an
attempt to uncover what drives both crazy.
While both parties share a common goal — the overall success of the company — their individual stress points are quite
different. Sales is concerned with client retention and, frankly,
making a decent living. PMs are concerned with client retention
and having a decent life. It turns out that your “decent” and my
“decent” are often in competition.
Point: Top ten ways to drive
a salesperson crazy (Tina)
#1: Keep bad news close to the vest. When a project is
going south, please don’t let me know.
C’mon! I am trained to finesse the situation and provide
solutions for the client. Your proactive communication helps
me come up with alternative delivery scenarios. Client-side
milestones can be often adjusted with early enough discussion.
#2: Don’t address hazardous turnaround times. Saying
“Well, okay” to tight turnarounds is great and seems like a
team-friendly attitude.
Tina Cargile has served at McElroy Translation since 1988
as production manager and senior project manager. She
is currently business development manager.
Erin Vang is international program manager
of the JMP R&D division of SAS, the world’s
largest privately held software company.
41-43 CarlileVang 101A.indd 41
It isn’t. When the turnaround is perilous, let me know! Better
to arm me with an immediate counteroffer than to wait until
the last minute to declare the project at risk or hopeless. When
clients ask for our best turnaround time, don’t ask me what
they want, since the answer is typically “yesterday.” We both
know that’s not going to happen! Tell me instead what we can
reasonably offer, and I can try to make that work.
#3: Argue with me about “freebies.” The bottom line is the
bottom line.
Sometimes it is necessary to shave margins to bring in a new
client or to keep an unhappy client in the fold. I understand
that you want to keep your margins in good shape for your
next annual review, but keep in mind that some margin is better than none at all. You might also keep in mind that lower
pricing means lower commissions for me, too. It’s not like I’m
giving away your farm; I’m giving away a few acres of our
farm to keep us in business.
#4: Accept escalated deliveries from the client no matter
how questionable. No need to call special attention to problems; I can read your mind.
Nope. You might be copying me on project communications every single day, but you can’t expect me to realize
when your polite “no problem” e-mails really mean “BIG
problem.” I’m not involved in the day-to-day workflow, and
your gracious, patient replies to the client look as calm to
me as you mean them to look to the client.
When there’s a problem, you need to speak
up and get my attention.
#5: Send me a laundry list of questions for
the client rather than proactive suggestions.
Phrase every possible concern or objection in
the form of a polite question.
| 41
1/15/09 1:45:06 PM
Not the best mode of communication! We are supposed to
be the experts in our industry. Many of our clients are not as
well versed, and consultancy on linguistic issues is part of the
service we sell. Asking a client new to localization questions
such as “How do you want us to handle text expansion?” is
not a winning strategy. Instead, suggest options based on your
expertise. Nine times out of ten, the client will be grateful for
the guidance.
#6: Tell me what you think I want to hear. Tell me everything’s on schedule and on budget, and there are no risks.
Happiness is a private matter; this is business. I have a job to
do, and ugly information is best served sooner rather than later.
I promise that I won’t resort to violence — or even sarcasm.
Well, maybe sarcasm.
#7: Keep me guessing. I don’t really need to know what’s
going on until it’s hopeless.
Both of us are probably working a 24/7 schedule, but please
make it possible for me (and you) to fit in a little “private” time by
letting me know about problems before they’re emergencies.
#8: Tell me you’re “swamped.” You can’t possibly address
that concern right now.
Swamped? I probably am too, but learn to ask for help when
you need it. Your job is to focus on client needs.
#9: Keep customer complaints under wraps. It’s better to
hide problems and hope not to get in trouble.
Really great business practice there — I can’t address issues
if I’m in the dark. I’m your partner, not your adversary. Don’t
worry about failures; they are an opportunity for lessons learned
and continuous improvement. Think of me as an advocate, since
I truly do see both sides.
#10: Give me grief about my “glamorous” travel schedule. I’m
just flitting around while you’re working hard, so it’s okay to
complain.
If only you knew. Yes, I travel frequently and stay at decent
hotels, but it’s just another hotel. I rarely see the city I’m visiting, and the presentation — whether at a conference, a speaking engagement or a client visit — is fraught with sore feet,
exhausted facial muscles from smiling, time away from family,
and airport misadventures.
Counterpoint: Top ten ways to drive
a PM crazy, whether you’re
my colleague or a vendor (Erin)
#1: Keep bad news close to the vest. When you’re running
late or can’t get a component working, please don’t let me know.
I was already aware of the fact that the schedule and feature
lists were just best guesses that would need to be updated as
reality came into focus. It’s really not better to leave me in fantasyland. Let me know what’s going on! If it’s a minor change,
I can probably juggle things to make it all work. If it’s a major
change, then I need to get started on helping management come
up with a Plan B.
#2: Don’t address hazardous turnaround times. Keep it to
yourself when the official schedule is bogus because it’s not
your job to announce that the emperor has no clothes.
42
As I alluded to above, we’re often asked to sign up for “fantasy schedules,” knowing that the true release date will be much
later, but whom does that really serve? The boss? No, the boss
is staking his or her credibility on it, wants to know the truth,
and he or she probably doesn’t realize how afraid you are to say
it. The customers? No, the customers have production schedules
riding on our delivering when we say we will, and they don’t
really care if that’s sooner or later — they just want us to say
when and stick to it.
#3: Argue with me about “details.” Why can’t we just show
prices in yen with two digits for centi-yens?
Sometimes it’s hard to get all the niceties of a new locale
working — like currency formats that don’t expect decimal
places. I understand that these things are tricky, but prices in
Japanese yen don’t have decimals except on the Nikkei. If we
don’t get the decimals right, we might as well not support yen
at all. It’s not “a picky little detail”; it’s a requirement!
#4: Shrug and say, “Sure, we’ll make it work,” even when
you know you can’t. The roll of the eyes communicates what
you really meant to say anyway.
You might be rolling your eyes and thinking I know what
that means, but when you say you can do it, that’s what I
expect you to do. If it can’t be done, can’t be done on time or
you’re just not sure, say so! We can work with the truth. Empty
promises get us nowhere.
#5: Send me a list of doubts rather than your best estimate
of what will happen. You need to list the eight million things
that might go wrong with time (colleagues) or a project quote
(vendors).
Look, I know you need to cover your . . . um . . . bases, in
case what we deliver is wildly different than stated, but do we
really have to dwell on every possible risk? Can’t we just agree
on baselines and come up with a contingency plan to resolve
the inevitable discrepancies?
#6: Tell me what you think I want to hear. No matter what
I ask, just smile and say, “Right away, ma’am.”
C’mon! What Tina said! When I come to you with questions, it’s not to be polite. It’s because I really want your advice.
Vendors: if we’re doing something stupid, tell us, and help us
figure out a better way! Colleagues: if my questions are bizarre,
don’t just answer them — help me figure out what it is I don’t
know. I promise not to get defensive or embarrassed. Well,
maybe embarrassed.
#7: Keep me guessing. I don’t need to know what’s going
on until it’s hopeless.
Both of us are probably burning the midnight oil, so I understand that you feel bad about it, but your delay of “just a few
days” is my headache of telling 20 people that our deliveries are
late and, yes, they could have taken the holiday weekend off
after all, now that it’s too late for them to book train tickets. I’d
rather know sooner, and so would they.
#8: Tell me you’re “swamped.” It’s okay not to answer my
e-mails if you’ve got a lot going on.
Hey, I’m short on sleep just like you. You know that some
of my questions need answers right away, and getting back to

give me the courtesy of a “yes,” a “no,”
or an “I’m stuck until I get a decision

#9: Keep vendor problems under
wraps. If you can’t figure out what our
strings mean, it’s okay just to do a wordfor-word replacement and hope the customers never see it.
Or not. Some of our strings are lousy,
but that doesn’t mean our customers
don’t need to understand them. I’m your
partner, not your adversary. Don’t feel
stupid about having to ask for explanations. The truth is you’re the best editors

for you, even our English product would
be a mess. I’m grateful when you call
attention to the problems.
#10: Give me grief about my “glamorous” travel schedule. I fly a lot, stay in
hotels, and eat out on the company dime,
and you’re stuck at home, so you have
every right to be jealous.
Yes, my dear colleagues, I’ve got
“platinum-butt” status with the airline,
but it’s not like I’ll ever have time to cash
in all those miles on a vacation. What
you might not realize is that I’m on stage
from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. and then I
start dealing with e-mails. There’s never
any time to do laundry, so I’ve worn
my underwear right-side-in, inside-out,
frontwards and backwards. I’m gaining weight from all the meals out, I’ve
watched all the television shows on my
iPod twice, and I miss my dog.
Look, we all face challenges and
endure anxiety — that’s why it’s called
work. If we’re honest about what’s difficult, though, and if we cut each other
a little slack on the tough stuff, we can
usually find a path to mutual success,
or at least avoid dismal failure. Fingerpointing just makes us all bitter, but
sharing responsibility and accountability
for the bad as well as the good brings
us together and enables us to grow as
partners. Later on, the “war stories” will

Implementing quality
management systems

magine starting a new job in the accounting department of a translation company.
Your trainer shows you where to enter new
invoices and how to set them up for payment. When the trainer goes on break, the
person in the next cubicle begins explaining a different method. Unsure of who is correct
and slightly confused at this point, you begin
entering invoices but forget to set a payment date.
Shortly thereafter, payments are late, freelancers
and vendors are mad, and management is asking
for an explanation.
The point of this story is that all companies work as a unit,
and it takes a unified team to create a superior product. Often
when a company has been doing things in a semi-structured
way, not everyone is following the same methodologies and
processes as the neighbor in the next cubical or office. Quality management systems (QMSs) work most effectively when a
continuous process improvement plan is set in place. In order to
set up an effective QMS, it is necessary to gather the information
from the “doers” of the work, rather than being chartered by
a few managers who feel their approach is the right one. The
process of creating a working QMS can be intimidating, but with
careful step-by-step planning and company-wide involvement it
is possible and, more importantly, valuable.
Developing a QMS with employee involvement generates systems that are not merely “management sighted” and dictated
from the top down, but rather ones that are embraced by an entire

organization. Beginning with a company map, continuing through
to department interviews and assessments and wrapping up with
a quality audit, the following processes, tips and guidelines could
work for most organizations.
Getting started: create a company map
An easy and simple way to begin the process is to create a
workflow diagram (Figure 1). Our company had a consultant come
in, give interviews and identify how people did their jobs from start
to finish. From these interviews the consultant was able to produce
a diagram of how a translation project is born and completed. This
gave our sales department an even greater knowledge of the work
the production team did.
It is not uncommon that a company’s quality assurance
(QA) system is based strictly on its production process, without
regard for sales, training, human resources or even management
involvement. However, in order to have your employees commit
to the process, it is integral that you ask them for their input. Once
our diagram was complete, we met as a team and agreed or modified the diagram as we saw fit.
A company-wide map documents the primary steps in a process and then shows the procedural relationships involved. As
part of our commitment to continuously improve the process, our
teams used maps to analyze the way a process was currently being
accomplished, develop something more effective, and implement
the changes. Appoint one person or team in each department to do
this, and then set up a meeting to review the process, offer ideas
and finalize as a group. Ask employees to answer the following
questions. Collect their answers and meet with each group before
creating the map.
■ What is the goal of the company?
■ How does the company want to be seen by customers and
competition?
■ How are orders generated, quotes given and recorded, and
sold orders filtered to production?
■ What happens with the signed quote? How is production
alerted to a new job?

■ What is the production process? How are jobs cycled through
current processes?
■ How is a project archived and invoiced?
■ How does the sales team follow up on customer service and
the satisfaction level of the client?

development, employees tend to feel more connected to the
company.
Human resources’ role in the QA process
Adequate training is one of the hardest things for companies
to implement. Many trainers spend one whirlwind day explaining
their service or product, the processes and the job; then the new
employee is expected to have absorbed everything that was thrown
at him or her. On the other extreme, there are companies that spend
countless hours training someone for a job without providing any
hands-on experience. Bad training philosophies waste time and
money and may alienate a new employee. Eventually, a high turnStart at the genesis — make sure

for following up with a client and communicating customers’
complaints or kudos back into the company, each has a process that can be tracked, modified, trained and implemented.
How does your sales team know what to ask in gathering client
requirements? The goal is to determine not only how a sale is
recorded, but also how it is handed off to other departments
and communicated cross-departmentally. For example, perhaps
a client only wants a word version of a document that has
desktop publishing components.
The role of QA in the sales process is to find out if anything
is missing. Is, for example, the company able to meet the client and regulatory requirements? Is everyone doing things the
same way? And are there connective threads in the process
even if they do vary? Meet with the sales team and discuss
how they can effectively and efficiently collect the information
while still providing quality service to their clients. Determine
if there are complaints about the current system and the overall
process within the company, as well as what could be improved
and what might be helpful. Processes should be simple, comprehensive and easy to use. The more complex a sales operating
process, the less time there is to sell.
Project management and production QA
So, now the salespeople have a better idea of what they are
selling, management is supporting, and the company knows
how it provides the goods, but how does the company actually
provide the product? A sales team is only as good as the delivered product, and selling something that isn’t actually produced
is dangerous. Talk to production — the people who create the
product or service.
An appointed team should look at the overall production
process. How are vendors chosen, evaluated and managed? In
our case, a new resource development position was added to the
HR department to not only screen our translators and confirm
they meet our requirements for industry and language expertise,
education and certification, but also to continually manage and
evaluate their performance. Companies should also be looking at
the project tracking and scheduling algorithms, and what tools
and files are used. Can generational files be tracked and is the
process clear? How are files archived and can they be recalled easily? Review budgetary measures and how budgets are maintained.
If there are potential pitfalls in a project budget, investigate how
the information is communicated to management and sales.
Part of any successful process is “taking the pulse” of the
production staff. Do they feel that they have all the tools they
need to successfully complete a job? If not, ask why, discuss how
to improve the process and assess what current complaints are
uniform.
Once information is gathered, the appointed team should meet
to discuss results, document findings and implement a training
plan. After training has been conducted and solutions finalized, a
follow-up audit should occur to see if the system is working. Be
prepared to review systems, applications and tools. The grumblings
are natural, but in the end everyone will be more efficient and
better prepared to offer a quality product.
46
During our examination of production, we discovered that additional TRADOS licenses were necessary. If all of the flex licenses
were in use, project managers would have to wait to run their logs.
Adding licenses increased productivity and turnaround time, as
well as employee satisfaction levels.
Auditing the QA process
Once the internal systems have been reviewed and management commits to it, a “final” audit should take place, since the QA
process itself needs to be audited. Having peer-to-peer audits is
effective. This methodology allows everyone to be involved and
learn how the process works throughout the organization. An
audit should be centered on the facts, not on personal biases about
an issue, person or process, and should always be reviewed by a
QA-appointed staff member prior to the publication of results to
the team or client.
Auditing the QA process can be complex. It is necessary to set
up a schedule the company should adhere to. Then determine what
processes are or should be audited and what components of the
process should not. Who is the auditor? If a problem is found,
how does the company record, correct and find the root cause
of the problem so that it can be avoided again, and how is that
information recorded?
Meet with all teams in the company; be open to suggestions
for improvements. This entire exercise audits the audit process
and the auditor and is an integral piece of the puzzle when tracking customer complaints and the company’s own shortcomings.
Results are presented to senior management along with resolutions and suggestions for improvement that have been gathered
company-wide.
Why all the fuss? Is it worth the effort?
What does a company in the service industry have to gain
from a QMS? What guarantees can a service company truly
offer its clients? “We’re really friendly and answer e-mails
quickly” isn’t enough. Many consumers of translation services
are regulated by organizations such as the FDA, FAA and SEC.
They are subjected to audits and have to demonstrate a transparent, comprehensive process. They should be able to expect
the same attention to quality from their service providers.
The value of genuine and focused customer service initiated
by a service provider is immeasurable in building trust and
long-term client relationships. A good QMS fosters long-term
relationships and client retention, not to mention a reputation
for excellence.
Aside from growing sales and building strong customer relationships, one interesting benefit to all this is the elimination of
organizational chaos within the company. The structures will be
defined, audited and improved upon on a continual basis, which
invariably leads to employee satisfaction. Product errors will be
monitored by matrices and less likely to occur. Plus, clear expectations and measurable goals are set every year.
By involving everyone in the company in the process, there is
a dedicated investment by all employees to the process and to the
success of the company. M

Independence, individuality and self expression are preferred values. The targeted websites may be culturally

A
Abductive reasoning. In artificial intelligence and philosophy, reasoning
based on possible or hypothesized causes or explanations. It involves inferring the best or most plausible explanation from a given set of facts or data.
Abilene Paradox. A paradox in which a group of people collectively decides
on a course of action that is counter to the preferences of any of the individuals in the group. It involves a common breakdown of group communication
in which each member mistakenly believes that his or her own preference is
counter to the group’s and, thus, the person does not raise objections.
Agglutination. In linguistics, combining short words or word elements into a
single word in order to express compound ideas.
American Sign Language (ASL). The dominant sign language of the Deaf
community in the United States, in the English-speaking parts of Canada
and in parts of Mexico. Although the United Kingdom and the United States
share English as a spoken and written language, British Sign Language (BSL)
is quite different from ASL and not mutually intelligible.
AMT. Automated Machine Translation (AMT) and Caterpillar Technical
English (CTE) are development project collaborations between Caterpillar,
Inc., and Carnegie Mellon University to further improve the creation and
translation of technical documentation into three core languages: Spanish,
French and German.
Anglophone.
nglophone. Someone who speaks the English language natively or by

standard for the code numbers used by computers to represent all the uppercase
and lowercase Latin letters, numbers, punctuation and other symbols.
ASP (application service provider). A service, usually a business, that provides remote access to an application program across a network protocol,
typically HTTP. A common example is a website that other websites use for
accepting payment by credit card as part of its online ordering systems.
Automatic Content Enrichment (ACE). A bridge between single language websites and localization, ACE technology associates English words and phrases on
web pages with pop-ups containing information in a user’s native language.
B
Back translation. The process of translating a document that has already
been translated into another language back to the original language — preferably by an independent translator.
Bidirectional (writing system). A writing system in which text is generally
flush right, and most characters are written from right to left, but some text
is written left-to-right as well. Arabic and Hebrew are the only bidirectional
writing systems in current use.
Bidirectional text (bidi). A mixture of characters within a text where some
are read from left to right and others from right to left. Bidirectional or bidi
refers to an application that allows for this variance.

Bitext. A merged document comprised of both source-language and target-language versions of a given text. Bitexts are generated by a piece of
software called an alignment tool, which automatically aligns the original
and translated versions of the same text.
Blog. Shortened from “weblog,” this is a web application which contains
periodic time-stamped posts on a common webpage. Blogs range from individual diaries to arms of political campaigns, media programs and corporations, and from having one occasional “blogger” (author) to having large

or service. Brand recognition and other reactions are created by the use of the
product or service and through the influence of advertising, design and media
commentary. A brand is a symbolic embodiment of all the information connected to the product and serves to create associations and expectations around
it. A brand often includes a logo, fonts, color schemes, symbols and sound that
may be developed to represent implicit values, ideas and even personality.
BRIC. Term used to refer to the combination of Brazil, Russia, India and
China.

of tagged file formats such as HTML.
Casual games. A category of electronic or computer games targeted at a
mass audience, casual games usually have a few simple rules and an engaging game design, thereby making it easy for a new player to begin playing
the game in just minutes. Casual games require no long-term time commitment or special skills to play, and there are comparatively low production
and distribution costs for the producer.
Catalan. A Romance language, the national and official language of Andorra,
and a co-official language in the Spanish autonomous communities of the
Balearic Islands, Catalonia and Valencia — where it is known as Valencian
— and in the city of Alghero on the Italian island of Sardinia. Although with
no official recognition, it is also spoken in the autonomous communities
of Aragon and Murcia in Spain, and in the historic Roussillon region of
southern France.
Catch-22. A term coined by Joseph Heller in his 1961 novel Catch-22, describing a false dilemma where no real choice exists. A familiar example of this
circumstance occurs in the context of job searching. In moving from school
to a career, a graduate may encounter a Catch-22 where one cannot get a job
without work experience, but one cannot gain experience without a job.
CE marking. The letters CE are the abbreviation of the French phrase conformité Européene that literally means European conformity. CE marking on
a product is a manufacturer’s declaration that the product complies with the
essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislations.
CEE (Central and Eastern Europe). Predominantly used to describe former
Communist countries in Europe after the collapse of the Iron Curtain in 1990.
Later, it became an abbreviation mostly — still being not precisely defined —
referring to the European countries east of Germany and south to the Balkan
states. In most cases it includes Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary,
Romania, Bulgaria, and the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It
sometimes also includes Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova and Russia.
CESU-8. Similar to UTF-8, CESU-8 is a way of representing Unicode text.

Consecutive interpreting. The interpreter begins his or her interpretation of a
complete message after the speaker has stopped producing the source utterance.
At the time that the interpretation is rendered, the interpreter is the only person
in the communication environment who is producing a message. Normally, in
consecutive interpreting, the interpreter is alongside the speaker, listening and
taking notes as the speech progresses. When the speaker has finished or comes
to a pause, the interpreter reproduces the message in the target language, in its
entirety and as though he or she were making the original speech.
Content management system (CMS). A system used to store and subsequently find and retrieve large amounts of data. CMSs were not originally
designed to synchronize translation and localization of content, so most

CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean) computing, the term traditionally means
a character set in which every graphic character not representable by an
accompanying SBCS (single-byte character set) is encoded in two bytes. Han
characters would generally comprise most of these two-byte characters. The
term can also mean a character set in which all characters — including all
control characters — are encoded in two bytes.
Double-byte languages. Languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean
(CJK) that use twice as much memory because their characters are more
68
complex and graphical than Roman alphabet letters. CJK languages are
character-based with each character referring to an idea as opposed to a
specific shape of the character or an object.
DTD (document type definition). States what tags and attributes are used to
describe content in SGML documents, where each tag is allowed, and which
tags can appear within other tags.

services or the processes of democratic governance.
E-learning. The use of internet technology for learning outside of a physical
classroom.
80/20 Rule. Also known as Pareto’s Principle, the law of the vital few and
the principle of factor sparsity. The rule states that for many phenomena,
80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes. Management thinker
Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle, and it was named after the Italian
economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy was
received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is that most of
the results in any situation are determined by a small number of causes.
This idea is often applied to data such as sales figures: “20% of clients are
responsible for 80% of sales volume.” Such a statement is testable, is likely
to be correct and may be helpful in decision making.
Embedded media. Media that can be included in an HTML page, such as
RealAudio files or GIF animations. Web browsers use multipurpose internet
mail extensions (MIME types), a specification for formatting these nonASCII messages so that they can be sent over the internet. When a browser
finds a file in an HTML document with a MIME extension such as .gif, the
browser knows to display that file as an image. Many e-mail clients also
support MIME.
Embedded system. Hardware and software that make up a component of
a larger system, often for real-time response, that is expected to function
without human intervention.
Encoding scheme. Rules for assigning numeric value (code points) to
characters. Encoding is a method by which a character set is turned into

Hiragana characters are also required to express grammatical inflections.
Katakana. A Japanese syllabary, one component of the Japanese writing
system along with hiragana, kanji and in some cases the Latin alphabet. The
word katakana means fragmentary kana, as they are derived from components
of more complex kanji. Katakana are characterized by short straight strokes

Prosumer. This word is becoming fairly common but can be confusing, and
has two meanings. Futurist Alvin Toffler in his 1980 book The Third Wave
coined the word as a blend of producer and consumer when he predicted that
the role of producers and consumers would begin to blur and merge. Toffler
used it to describe a possible future type of consumer who would become
involved in the design and manufacture of products so that they could be
made to individual specification. The second usage describes a purchaser
of technical equipment who wants to obtain goods of a better quality than
consumer items, but can’t afford professional items — older terms for goods
of this intermediate quality are semi-professional and industrial quality.
Here, the word is a blend of professional and consumer.

Pseudo-translation. Similar to a test run that seeks to copy the translation
process rather than actually produce a translation. A text string is taken
and put through a translation-like process that alters it and produces a new
string. The text string is frequently changed as a result of this process, so
pseudo-translation is done to illustrate the potential problems that may
occur when the translation is actually done.
Q
Quality assurance (QA). The activity of providing evidence needed to establish confidence among all concerned that quality-related activities are being
performed effectively. All those planned or systematic actions necessary
to provide adequate confidence that a product or service will satisfy given
requirements for quality. QA covers all activities from design, development,
production and installation to servicing and documentation.
R
Radical. The root or base form of a word. The building blocks of Chinese
characters of which the most common set contains 214 radicals. Radicals
themselves are composed of strokes.
Resource Description Framework (RDF). A formal data model from the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for machine understandable metadata
used to provide standard descriptions of web resources.
Return on investment (ROI). In finance, return on investment is the ratio
of money gained or lost on an investment relative to the amount of money
invested. The amount of money gained or lost may be referred to as interest,
profit/loss, gain/loss or net income/loss.
Right-to-left languages. Languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, Urdu and Farsi
are written primarily right-to-left. This text flow presents significant text
and graphic layout implications.
Romanization. In linguistics, the representation of a word or language with
the Roman (Latin) alphabet, or a system for doing so, where the original
word or language uses a different writing system.
S
SAE J2450. A translation quality metric developed by a subcommittee of the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for use in the automotive industry.
SCORM. The Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a
set of specifications that, when applied to course content, produces small,
re-usable learning objects.
Search engine. A program designed to help find information stored on
a computer system such as the World Wide Web or a personal computer.
A search engine allows a user to ask for content meeting specific criteria
72
— typically those containing a given word, phrase or name — and retrieves a
list of references that match those criteria.
Search engine optimization (SEO). A set of methods aimed at improving the
ranking of a website in search engine listings. SEO is primarily concerned with
advancing the goals of a website by improving the number and position of its
organic search results for a wide variety of relevant keywords.
Segmentation Rules eXchange (SRX). The vendor-neutral standard for
describing how translation and other language processing tools segment
text for processing. It allows translation memory and other linguistic tools
to describe the language-specific processes by which text is broken into
segments (usually sentences or paragraphs) for further processing.
Semantic. Part of the structure of language, along with phonology, morphology, syntax and pragmatics, which involves understanding the meaning
of words, sentences and texts.
Semantic Web. An extension of the worldwide web that provides a common framework allowing data to be shared and re-used across application,
enterprise and community boundaries. It is based on Resource Description
Framework (RDF), which integrates a variety of applications using XML for
syntax and URLs for naming.
Serious games. Computer and video games that are intended to not only
entertain users, but have additional purposes such as education and training. They can be similar to educational games and are primarily focused on
an audience outside of primary or secondary education. A serious game is
usually a simulation that has the look and feel of a game, but is actually a
simulation of real-world events or processes. The main goal of a serious game
is usually to train or educate users, though it may have other purposes, such
as marketing or advertisement, while giving them an enjoyable experience.
SGML. Standard generalized markup language (SGML) is an international
standard for information exchange that prescribes a standard format for
using descriptive markup within a document, defining three document layers: structure, content and style.
Sight translation. With sight translation, the input is visual (the written
word) rather than oral (the spoken word). Reading comprehension is an
important element of sight translation.
Simplified Chinese. Refers to one of two standard Chinese character sets
of printed contemporary Chinese written language, officially simplified by
the government of the People’s Republic of China in an attempt to promote
literacy. Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Singapore, modified to be written with fewer strokes per character.
Simship. A term used to refer to the simultaneous shipment of software products in different languages or with other distinguishing differences in design.
Simultaneous interpreting. Occurs while the source speaker is speaking,
as quickly as the interpreter can reformulate the message into the target
language. Normally, in simultaneous interpreting between spoken languages
the interpreter sits in a soundproof booth, usually with a clear view of the
speaker, at a microphone, listening through headphones to the incoming
message in the source language. The interpreter then relays the message in
the target language into the microphone to whosoever is listening.
Single-source concept. Documentation according to single-source concept
means using a common source to provide documentation in several output
formats (printed manual, online help).
SOA (service-oriented architecture). A software architectural concept that
defines the use of services to support the requirements of software users.
SOAP (simple object access protocol). A standard for exchanging XMLbased messages over a computer network, normally using HTTP.
Source language. A language that is to be translated into another language.
South America. A continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the
west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean;
North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest.

Statistical
tatistical machine translation (SMT). A machine translation paradigm
where translations are generated on the basis of statistical models whose
parameters are derived from the analysis of bilingual text corpora. SMT is
the translation of text from one human language to another by a computer
that learned how to translate from vast amounts of translated text.
Streaming. Streaming allows a computer user to see and hear an audio/
video file as it is transferred. Player programs for platforms such as Windows
Media, RealNetworks and QuickTime (available free) must be downloaded to
decompress audio/video files for listening or viewing. Streaming video is
usually sent from prerecorded video files, but can be broadcast live.
Supply chain management (SCM). An electronic alternative to the traditional paper chain, enabling participating suppliers to access up-to-date
company information and enabling companies to better manage and track
supply and demand.
Syllabary. A table of syllables or more specifically a set of the syllabic symbols/characters in which each character represents a syllable, used in certain
languages such as Japanese.
Syntax. The study of the rules whereby words or other elements of sentence
structure are combined to form grammatical sentences.
T
Taylorism. Scientific management, also called Taylorism or the Classical
Perspective, is a method in management theory that determines changes to
improve labor productivity. The idea was first coined by Frederick Winslow
Taylor in The Principles of Scientific Management (1911). Taylor believed
that decisions based upon tradition and rules of thumb should be replaced by
precise procedures developed after careful study of an individual at work.
TBCS-EUC. A triple-byte character set (TBCS) encoded according to the
specification of the extended UNIX code (EUC).
Telephone interpreting. When an interpreter, who is usually based in a
remote location, provides interpretation via telephone for two individuals
who do not speak the same language. Most often, telephone interpreting is
performed in the consecutive mode. This means that the interpreter listens to
each utterance first and then proceeds to render it into the other language,
as opposed to speaking and listening simultaneously.
Terminology management. Primarily concerned with manipulating terminological resources for specific purposes — for example, establishing repositories of terminological resources for publishing dictionaries, maintaining
terminology databases, ad hoc problem solving in finding multilingual
equivalences in translation work or creating new terms in technical writing. Terminology management software provides the translator a means of
automatically searching a given terminology database for terms appearing
in a document, either by automatically displaying terms in the translation
memory software interface window or through the use of hotkeys to view
the entry in the terminology database.
Terminology manager. A computer technology application tool that assists
in the translation of text from one spoken language to another.
Tidy functions. Tidy is a binding for the Tidy HTML clean and repair utility
that allows a user to not only clean and otherwise manipulate HTML documents, but also traverse the document tree.
Token (tokenization). The fundamental elements making up the text of a C
program. Tokens are identifiers, keywords, constants, strings, operators and
other separators. White space — such as spaces, tabs, new lines and comments — is ignored except where it is necessary to separate tokens.
Traditional Chinese. A Chinese character set that is consistent with the
original Chinese ideographic form that is several thousand years old. Today,
traditional characters are used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and by some
overseas Chinese communities, especially those originating from the aforementioned regions/countries or who emigrated before the widespread adoption of simplified characters in the People’s Republic of China.
Translation. The process of converting all of the text or words from the
source language to the target language. An understanding of the context or
meaning of the source language must be established in order to convey the
same message in the target language.
Translation memory (TM). A special database that stores previously translated sentences which can then be reused, in full or in part, on a sentence-bysentence basis. The database matches source to target language pairs.
Translation Memory eXchange (TMX). An open standard, based on XML,
which has been designed to simplify and automate the process of converting
translation memories (TMs) from one format to another.
Translation memory system. A tool for computer-aided translation. The
translation memory (TM) stores the original text and its human translation
in manageable units. The TM system proposes the translation whenever the
same or a similar unit occurs again.
Translation portal. A website or service that offers a broad array of resources
via the internet, thus providing a marketplace for translation agencies, freelance translators and customers to exchange services.
Translation unit (TU). A segment of a text that the translator treats as a
single cognitive unit for the purposes of establishing an equivalence. The
translation unit may be a single word, a phrase, one or more sentences, or
even a larger unit.
Transliteration. To write or print a letter or word using the closest corresponding letters of a different alphabet or language. A systematic way to convert
characters in one alphabet or phonetic sounds into another alphabet.
Truncation. Truncating text lines in the display means leaving out any text
on a line that does not fit within the right margin of the window displaying
it. Also, in database searching, the addition of a symbol at the end of a word
or word stem so the computer will look for all variants of the word.
24/7. An abbreviation for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays
and days otherwise that may alter limitations of work. In commerce and
industry, 24/7 identifies a service that will be present regardless of the current time or day, as might be offered by a restaurant, gas station, manned
datacenter, supermarket or help information line.
U
ULF. Universal Learning Format (ULF) is a modular set of XML-based formats for capturing and exchanging various types of e-learning data.
Uncial writing. A majuscule script commonly used from the third to the
eighth centuries CE by Latin and Greek scribes.
Unicode. The Unicode Worldwide Character Standard (Unicode) is a character
encoding standard used to represent text for computer processing. Originally
designed to support 65,000 characters, it now has encoding forms to support
more than 1,000,000 characters.
UNIX. A multiuser, multitasking operating system. It was one of the first
operating systems to be written in a higher level programming language,
thus making it hardware-independent.
URI (uniform resource identifier). Also URL (uniform resource locator).
Short strings that identify resources on the web: documents, images, downloadable files, services, electronic mailboxes and other resources.
Usability. The ease that users experience in navigating an interface, locating
information, and obtaining knowledge over the internet.
UTF-8 (Unicode transfer format). An encoding form of Unicode that supports ASCII for backward compatibility and covers the characters for most
languages in the world.
V
Vector-based. Refers to software and hardware that use geometrical formulas to represent images (same as object-oriented graphics).
Video game. A game that involves interaction with a user interface to
generate visual feedback on a video device. The electronic systems used to
play a video game are known as platforms; examples of these are personal
computers and video game consoles. These platforms are broad in range,
from large computers to small handheld devices.

Voice-over. Refers to a production technique where a disembodied voice is
broadcast live or pre-recorded in radio, television, film, theater and/or presentation. The voice-over may be spoken by someone who also appears onscreen in other segments or it may be performed by a specialist voice actor.
VoiceXML. The Voice Extensible Markup Language standard enables voice
input and audio output for voice response and multimodal applications.
W
Web hit. The counting term sometimes used to measure website traffic. The
count includes every file used on a web page as a “hit” to that page. Viewing
one page with six graphics would mean at least seven hits. Page views and
unique visitors are more accurate measures of website traffic.
Web service. A collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging
data between applications or systems.
Whispering interpreting. Also called chuchotage, the interpreter sits or stands
next to the intended audience and interprets simultaneously in a whisper.
This mode does not require any equipment. Whispered interpretation is often
used in situations when the majority of a group speaks one language, and a
limited number of people do not speak the source language.
Win 32/64. Refers primarily to the number of bits that can be processed or
transmitted in parallel, or the number of bits used for a single element in a
data format in a Windows operating system.
Written Chinese. Written Chinese refers to the thousands of symbols or
Chinese characters used to represent spoken Chinese, along with rules and
conventions about how they are arranged and punctuated. Chinese characters
do not constitute an alphabet or a compact syllabary. Instead, they are built
up from simpler parts representing objects or abstract notions, although most
characters do contain some indication of their pronunciation.
X
XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format). An XML-based format
for exchanging localization data. Standardized by OASIS in April 2002 and
aimed at the localization industry, XLIFF specifies elements and attributes
to aid in localization. XLIFF could be used to exchange data between companies, such as a software publisher and a localization vendor, or between
localization tools, such as translation memory systems and machine translation systems.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language). A programming language/specification is a pared-down version of SGML, an international standard for the
publication and delivery of electronic information, designed especially for
web documents.
XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language). A language for expressing style
sheets, controlling formatting and other output behavior.
Z
ZWNBS. Zero width no break space (ZWNBS) is also known as the byte
order mark (BOM) if used at the beginning of a Unicode file. It was originally
used in the middle of Unicode files in rare instances where there was an
invisible join between two characters where a line break must not occur. A
new code joiner is being implemented — U+2060 WORD JOINER.
