ANN: MadCap and Translations.com Announce Partnership
New York, NY and La Jolla, CA, USA May 1, 2008
MadCap Software and Translations.com today announced a
strategic partnership to provide solutions for streamlining
best-in-class content creation, translation and
localization. MadCap is the leader in multi-channel content
authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ:
MSFT) Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft XPS. Translations.com
is a leading global provider of localization services and
globalization management software with over 50 offices on
four continents. Initial localization projects utilizing
Translations.coms services and content created by MadCap
Flare, the industrys first native XML authoring software,
have resulted in cost savings of up to 50 percent.
In working with MadCap Flare, we have seen first-hand the
significant benefits of using content that has been
developed in XML for translation and localization. The clean
conversions with Flare and the ability to retain formatting
across languageswhether in print or onlinehas allowed us
to deliver outstanding quality while reducing the time and
costs associated with using traditional document formats and
technologies, said Phil Shawe, CEO and president of
Translations.com. We look forward to working with MadCap to
help clients use best practices in XML-based content
authoring to optimize their localization efforts.
Under terms of the agreement, the companies will promote the
combined benefits of using MadCap Flare with
Translations.com localization services to streamline the
process of delivering best-in-class content and
documentation in multiple languages. Translations.com
supports enterprise-scale customer-facing globalization
initiatives by melding workflow and technology with on-brand
linguistic and cultural adaptation. The native XML-based
MadCap Flare provides robust, single-source multi-channel
content creation and delivery. With its future-proof, highly
interoperable XML foundation, Flare eliminates the special
programming and workarounds required by traditional
authoring tools based on older proprietary platforms.
Moreover, Flare features Unicode support and extended
language support to facilitate content development in Asian
and European languages, including Eastern European.
Translations.com is one of the premier localization service
providers in the world with a proven methodology and long
track record of success in localizing the content of Global
2000 companies, said Anthony Olivier, MadCap CEO. It is
rewarding to see the early gains it has realized in cutting
the cost and time of localization for customers who have
used Flare for their content delivery. We are excited to
team with Translations.com in bringing the combined benefits
of state-of-the-art translation services and XML-based
content authoring to the growing number of enterprises that
conduct business worldwide.
