With the rise in internet use and the growth of commerce in emerging markets around the world, not only is the volume of content to be written for global markets increasing exponentially, but most content can also be accessed by audiences anywhere in the world. SDL helps organizations write content with a view to international audiences and to maintain consistency and quality across corporate communications.
The need to write with international audiences in mind has never been more important. Left unchecked, the cost and time involved in publishing information for global markets is constantly escalating.
SDL empowers authors with technology that assists the authoring process. By providing access to terminology and translation memory from within the authoring environment, content can be automatically checked against these assets at the time it is being written. Authors can assess recommendations made by the technology on how to modify content to improve the use of terminology and where previously written content can be reused.
