With the growing importance of e-commerce and e-business, companies
that never previously thought about localization are facing the
question of how to roll out and update web sites in many different
languages. For these companies, time to market and quality are the
overriding concerns, with cost containment an important yet secondary
factor. This talk discusses new technologies and services that are
addressing the challenges of multilingual web sites. Focus is placed
on new technologies that automate the workflow, networking of
translators, and scalable translation memory. A demo of Uniscape's
translation memory solution will be part of the talk.
