- Reduces overall localization costs on future product versions by 40% -60%
- Ensures consistency between versions
- Makes new versions and updates easier from one generation of a product to
the next
- Increases the end-user acceptance of your product message
- Decreases time to market
Who can benefit from this workshop?
1) Organizations releasing products globally who want to improve their
documentation processes
2) Companies planning to release products globally for the first time
2) Technical writers who typically write for a US audience and want to learn
development techniques for audiences from other countries and cultures
3) Technical writers and management who want to learn internationalization
