Applied Language Solutions |
www.appliedlanguage.com Here are some hard facts: 64% of web users speak a native language other than English. Web users are 4 times more likely to purchase from a site written in their own language. Visitors stay for twice as long; on a site which is written in their own language. All these facts point to one thing - you need to have your website translated. No matter what the file format, no matter how complex your site is Applied Language can translate your site into whatever languages you need. Your site will be translated by only professional in-country translators who have the specialist skills in your product area. So if you have a gaming site for the Chinese market, we'll use a translator with gaming skills who lives in China, this ensures you get the correct terminology. We can even integrate with your current content management systems using our web service - TalkbaseConnect. TalkbaseConnect allows you to integrate Applied Language's translation workflow into any internal system you have. This means that you and your staff will save time and money by being able to handle all your translation projects directly from your existing systems. Come and visit us on Stand E132 |
