Author-it Localization Manager Overview
In this hour long event, learn more about the power of Author-it Localization Manager. Author-it Localization Manager reduces localization costs by helping you send the right content to translation. Don't pay for translation you don't need or, worse, only send part of the content that needed to be translated.
Author-it Localization Manager uses XML to seamlessly integrate with existing localization processes and translation memory tools. Author-it Localization Manager maximizes reuse by using content directly from its single source database. This reduces repeated translations, so translators only work on new and modified content.
* Integration with leading Translation Memory tools
* Substantially reduce post-translation desktop publishing
* XML-enabled technologies
* Word count audit facilities
* Automatic and manual approval facilities
Benchmarked projects show substantial savings in localization costs and translation word counts.
Users: Who are these people and what do they want?
Identifying your audience and creating content to meet their needs.
In a perfect world, you have the time to create all the content for all possible users of your products.
No one has product schedules that allow for that; everyone has to make decisions about what content is needed and what can be ignored.
Creating the wrong content for the wrong user is as bad as creating nothing at all. So how do you know?
This free tool-independent webinar explores:
• What kind of users are there?
• What sort of information does each group need?
• How do you know if your content is the right content for your users?
• Are there users you can ignore? If so, who are they and why can you ignore them?
• How do you make the business case for ignoring some users?
• How can knowing your audience reduce schedule and project costs?
You spend a lot of time creating user documentation. This webinar will help you learn to use that time wisely, make your users happy, and possibly reduce documentation schedules.
All you need to connect to the Webinar is an internet-connected computer and speakers.
