new year, and new decade, offers an optimistically blank slate, particularly in the times of tightened belts and tightened budgets. The localization industry has never been affected quite the same way as many other sectors, but now that other sectors begin to tentatively look up the economic curve towards prosperity,
we may relax just a bit more also. This eighth annual resource directory and index allows industry professionals and those wanting to expand business access to language-industry companies around the globe.
Following tradition, the 2010 Resource Directory (blue tabs) begins this issue, listing compa-nies providing services in a variety of specialties and formats: from language-related technol-ogy to recruitment; from locale-specifi c localization to educational resources; from interpreting to marketing.
Next come the editorial pages (red tabs) on timeless localization practice. Henk Boxma enumerates the real costs of quality software translations, and Kevin Fountoukidis offers tips on people-centric company management.
The Editorial Index 2009 (gold tabs) provides a helpful reference for MultiLingual issues 101-108, by author, title, topic and so on, all arranged alphabetically. Then there’s a list of acronyms and abbreviations used throughout the magazine, a glossary of terms, and our list of advertisers for this issue.
By the way, if you’ve never accessed our digital version of the index, give it a try — all the referenced articles are linked directly, which is a handy way to fi nd an article you just know you read sometime this year, even if you can’t remember what it was called or who it was by.
The directory is also available at www.multilingual.com/resourceDirectory for free download. Best of luck throughout the year and may you always fi nd the answers to your questions at your fi ngertips!

ne of the major criteria for selecting a language service provider (LSP) is the translation cost per word. This makes sense for the translation of a “fl owing text” where the full con-text is available. In that case, it is
quite straightforward to perform an assessment and select the LSP that has the optimal quality/cost ratio. But is this also the case for software localization?
Having a background in engineering, I have always won-dered why the cost per word is still one of the major selection criteria when an LSP is selected for software localization. The cost of translating software itself is just a fraction of the real cost. The process is quite different compared to translating a fl owing text, and software localization should be an integral part of the software development process. In many cases, software localization is treated as a post-development activity, which has signifi cant consequences regarding time, cost and quality.
How general requirements for software translations are imple-mented is a good predictor of the fi nal attributes that quantify translations, which are time, cost and quality. The interesting point here is that the majority of these requirements needs to be

implemented by the engineers during the development process. Hence, engineers have more impact on the fi nal translation attri-butes than the LSP.
In order to steer each of the three attributes towards our preferred direction, we also should focus on prevention of costs. Today’s focus is more on reducing them.
The three factors in product development remain in constant tension: time, cost and quality. The theory is that you should pick two attributes. For exam-ple, quality in time will result in higher costs. Reducing costs and maintaining high quality result in a longer development cycle. This is true if you do
not want to change and want to stick to the current patterns. However, it is possible to save signifi cant costs on software localization and at the same time to reduce the engineering efforts (time) and improve the quality of translations. This can be achieved by working smarter. Therefore, we need to defi ne what software localization costs are exactly.
Characteristics of software localizationWhy does software localization differ from translating
fl owing text? Software contains labels (strings), which are stored in one or more resource fi les — for example, resx-fi les. Each label has a unique identifi er. The software uses a label by referencing its identifi er. Translating basically means that the
O

| MultiLingual 2010 Resource Directory & Index 2009 [email protected]
label-resource fi le is copied and that all source texts are replaced by the target translations. The resulting fi le can be loaded into the software build in order to make the translation available to the users.
If no precautions are taken, the only information the trans-lator would have is a table with strings. Without context, this is hard to translate because, for example, the label edit could be a noun or a verb. Another problem is that the translator does not know if the translated string would fi t, since software may have length restrictions when strings are rendered. An important characteristic is that a software localization tool can render labels in the context of the window that is shown in the target application. This provides the user contextual information. As seen in Figure 1, Notepad is loaded in a software localization tool. The translator imme-diately sees that the Dutch translation of Cancel — which is Afbreken — will not fi t.
After all translations have been done, the translator would like to see the translations in context in the target applica-tion. Navigational instructions guide the translator along all labels. Unfortunately, some specifi c labels are only shown in situations that are not easy to simulate, such as specifi c state warnings.
A software application must be internationalized before it can be localized. The objective of the engineering effort is designing a software application that can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes. Unfortunately, during the localization effort internation-alization issues can be detected, and each of them should be reported to the developers, usually via a change request. The change control board then decides if an issue should be processed or not. The outcome depends on various criteria and will not always be optimal from a linguistic perspec-tive. Examples of internationalization issues are hard-coded strings, concatenation of strings, reuse of label-identifi ers and lack of support for bidirectional languages.
The main reasons why software localization is so differ-ent from translating a fl owing text are (1) the dependency on the development process and (2) the contextual information is not completely contained within the resources to be translated itself.
RequirementsBesides the assumption that the software application is well-
internationalized, the minimal requirements in order to obtain high-quality software translations are:
Context for source and translation: the translator would like to see the string translated in its full source context and the translated string in its full target context. Seeing the tar-get translation in context may prevent linguistic, cosmetic and functional bugs.
Navigation: in addition to context between strings that are shown together on a screen, the translator would like to know how to navigate to a window where the string is shown.
Clipping: the translator would prefer to get immediate feedback if the translated string will fi t in the target application. The severity of a clipping string depends on the type of product. For a user of a mobile phone application it could be annoy-ing, while it could even be life-critical in a medical application. LISA research shows that these kinds of issues could have a disproportionate impact on purchasing decisions, even more than functional issues.
Quality: The translator should have an environment that supports linguistic quality. This can be achieved by check-ing consistency and correct usage of terms. The environment should also be able to fi nd quality issues, by comparing source and target, for example.
If these requirements are ignored during the architectural phase of product development, which is frequently the case, this will result in substantial development costs and an unneces-sary increase in time-to-market and as a result missed sales opportunities.
Software localization-related costsExtra costs for product development are typically hidden
as part of the costs for localization and are more diffi cult to quantify than the translation costs per word.
Engineers put effort in supporting the translation cycle, and costs associated with this could be potentially reduced. Nowa-days, many projects are executed in an agile manner, which has

the implication that engineers apply changes to resources — cre-ate, update and/or delete source strings — during the translation process. The translated resources that the translators return have to be integrated into the software build. This integration pro-cess is not a straightforward task without proper tooling — for example, a translation in which the source text changed becomes invalid and has to be retranslated.
If no software localization tool is available, the engineers have to develop and maintain tooling to support the localization process. These tools can become quite complicated and are in general not easy to maintain. These kinds of engineering activities can be largely avoided because a professional software localization tool will support this functionality. There is a clear return on investment on efforts spent by engineers. It will reduce costs for development and maintenance and will make your environment less depen-dent on architectural choices.
Translations are typically done at the end of the product development phase. In that phase, the engineers typically have a high workload in order to deliver the product on time. Translators will ask (read: disturb) the engineers to support them with contextual or navigational information. This can be a signifi cant effort, even for a medium-size project, because the same question will appear more or less at the same time from each independent translator. Sometimes the translators may also fi nd internationalization issues, such as hard-coded strings or con-catenations. Finding these issues late in the process is costly to solve. Software localization tools can support engineers to iden-tify internationalization issues early in the development cycle.
The real cost of localization is testing, rather than the 19¢, 20¢ or 20.3¢ per word where the focus typically is when a cus-tomer selects an LSP. In many cases, the test engineers are not trained to fi nd linguistic issues. Their focus is on fi nding bugs in product functionality and reporting these to the engineers. So, what are the hidden costs of localization for this discipline?
Fortunately, in many organizations the test department is aware that translators need support. This often results in techni-cal solutions (tools) that are not necessarily the most effective tools for translators. In many cases, these tools are diffi cult to use, have high maintenance costs and will not deliver the appro-priate quality.
It is common practice, for example, that the test department has a scripting environment that runs the target application in a controlled manner through all possible scenarios, thereby see-ing all strings on all screens. The full test may take more than a couple of days per language, depending on the complexity of the product that is tested. Imagine that in this example, as a by-product of the scripting process, the engineers were able
to quite easily fi ll a database that contains the information on which screen each string is used, including screenshots. The next step is a small tool — or web application — where the translator can enter a screen identifi er and see all relevant contextual information. Unfortunately, in this environment the translator cannot see the translation immediately in the trans-lated context or cannot detect if the translation is clipped. First, the translations need to be sent to the engineers to be imported in the software build, and then the scripting environment shall
rerun the scripts to generate the target screenshots. This process may take some days before the translator can continue his task. The translator pro-vides feedback to the test engineers that he or she wants to be able to do the translations in context. To support this, the engineers build in an OCR feature that will recognize strings on a bitmap and overwrite these with a target translation. Great, but later it will become clear that this feature does not work for strings that are underlined. Of course, the engineers have a solution for this, and slowly but surely the small application grows and grows.
The key point here is that applica-tions developed in-house by test engi-neers focus on functional rather than linguistic testing. In general, these in-house tools will not have the state-
of-the-art features that professional software localization tools have, such as a connection to a translation memory or support for fuzzy matching or concordance searches. The challenge is how to integrate third-party software localization tools into the software development process.
Burden on translatorsA translation may break the code if, for example, the target
text does not contain a variable that was used in the source, such as {0}. During execution, the application will throw an exception when it tries to substitute the non-existing variable with a value.
There are two ways of dealing with this:Full freedom to the translators. As a consequence, before
the product can be shipped to the market, expensive tests have to be executed per language.
Restrict the translators only to make changes to strings that are not in scope for the new feature set. This decision makes sense from a technical and project management point of view, but may degrade the linguistic quality of the fi nal product. As a consequence, the fi nal approver of the product may decide not to ship before the inconsistencies have been resolved. Develop-ers can implement scripts to supervise translators only changing in-scope labels.

A software localization translation environment could have prevented this kind of error. Technically, this prevention can be done by a quality assurance (QA) component. Such a feature would, for example, be able to compare the translated string against the source and detect a missing variable. Another method of prevention is more process-oriented, by letting the project manager mark the not in-scope strings as read-only. This will prevent the translator from touching them.
Suboptimal localization support is a high burden on the daily work of translators and the translation project man-ager. After the translator has fi nished the translation, it may take a couple of days until the engineers have processed the translations and generated the target materials. The transla-tor reviews and adapts the materials, and then the cycle is repeated. As a result, both translators and engineers are con-tinuously interrupted and cannot focus on one task. This is highly unproductive.
Each customer, or even a separate development group within a company, has different processes and architectures, each requiring a different translation environment for the translator. In many cases, the translation environment is more or less dictated by the development department. Translators need training for each environment, which is a hidden cost. This would not have been the case if the translators had a uniform translation environment that supports most architec-tures and processes. Switching tasks consumes a lot of time. In some cases, the translator has to perform a re-installation of in-house developed solutions when new materials become available.
After translations are ready, compiled into the applica-tion and tested by the functional testers, the strings can be visualized in-context. Linguistic errors may be found that were not determined by the functional testers — for example, issues with bidirectional languages. Worst case, this can have a major impact on design and increase time-to-market. It could even lead to a decision not to release the product for these languages. In general, a bug that is found late in the process results in signifi cant costs.
An in-country specialist will review the product for the spe-cifi c translation. These product specialists have a full agenda, and reviewing is certainly not their core activity. It is important that the review process be done in an effi cient manner. Ideally, the specialist has the fl exibility to determine the moments in time by himself or herself. Ineffi ciencies in this process result in a waste of time and money for the specialist. The specialist needs clear instructions on how to navigate quickly through the application and which screens to inspect.
Tools for software localizationA software localization tool such as SDL Passolo or
CATALYST offers a translation environment that satisfi es the high-level requirements at fi rst impression. Resources can be visualized for most commonly used architectures as was illustrated in Figure 1 with the Notepad example. It provides the user an environment where the translation can be done in
context — user sees both source and target — and the tool will also validate whether strings fi t. Besides that, a QA component is available to do a large number of quality checks. It is easy to navigate quickly between screens in the project, but these tools do not provide a scripting engine that will guide users through the screens.
Besides the lack of a navigation feature, the current software localization tools do not support the following:
Dynamic content: Localization tools can display strings in the context of a window that the code generates on-the-fl y. The window resources that will be loaded in the software localization tool do not refer to these strings. Consequently, the tool cannot display these strings in-context.
Proprietary resources: Most software architectures are usually supported, but what about older or proprietary architec-tures? Many organizations still have large amounts of resources that cannot be visualized in today’s out-of-the-box software localization tools.
The tool vendors cannot be blamed for this because it mainly depends on the way that the engineers created the resources. Fortunately, there are possible workarounds that provide great value, but this will require an additional investment. Business cases demonstrate a substantial return on investment.
RecommendationsSoftware localization costs are often of signifi cant magni-
tude. Many of these costs are hidden in the development orga-nization and are diffi cult to quantify.
The translation cost per word is easy to quantify and is typi-cally where LSPs compete. QA and quality of terminology are often used where different agencies try to distinguish them-selves. I do not argue that these issues are not important. On the contrary, my question is: How can someone deliver a good software translation quality when the inputs are not optimal? The only way to deliver quality in that situation is to expend an enormous effort on testing. You will literally need to test the quality into the product.
In most cases, the burden on testing is on the customer’s testing department, since it has to deliver all the required mate-rials to the translators. Therefore, my thesis is that the real costs for software localization are mainly paid by the development departments, even without them knowing it.
There are ways to reduce these costs signifi cantly. My most important recommendations are:
Involve the LSP or a localization project manager in an early stage of the development process. The LSP provides requirements from a linguistic perspective, which will have implications on the way that an application will be developed.
Use third-party software localization tools for their pow-erful linguistic features. Try to avoid in-house solutions.
Run a pilot in an early stage. Find issues and implement QA solutions.
There is a huge opportunity for LSPs to offer new value adding services for their customers during the early phases of a project in order to improve development processes. M

The quarterback who just won the Super Bowl and the coach who just won the World Cup will often say in the post-game interviews, “It’s all about the team. I could have never done it without this great bunch of guys.”
Sports analogies are often overused in business, but if you think about it, it’s true — a champion-ship quarterback or coach really is only as good as his team. Any manager needs to be equally aware of this. Once you understand that you are only as good as your team, then the next step, however cliché, is to try to fi gure out what you can do to make your team a champion.
In a translation or localization company, the service that is ultimately provided to the client is heavily dependent on how well employees from different departments with different responsibilities work together. The project manager is depen-dent on the sales person to pass on all relevant information about the project or client. Desktop publishing specialists and localization engineers need to have a complete understand-ing of what the clients’ localization plans are regarding their product line and how each project or update fi ts into the greater scheme of things. Everyone needs computers to work

quickly and effi ciently, so a good IT department is essential. The company can’t run without money, and thus the fi nance department is indispensable. The list goes on and on, but at the end of the day, what’s important to note is that all employees are dependent on each other for the success and survival of the company and, ultimately, for their jobs. No job is more or less important than another because everyone is a member of the team.
So, how do you get employees to form a great team offer-ing the client outstanding customer service while, at the same time, managing to work together in an often highly stressful environment without biting each other’s head off?
Respect thy neighborOne ingredient to ensure that people can work well in teams
is respect for one another. This might seem like obvious com-mon sense, but as with many things, it’s easier said than done. As I mentioned, everyone does something important, even if the job is taking out the garbage. Of course, respect is more complex than this. I do not appreciate people trying to get ahead at another person’s expense, for example. Many com-panies try to motivate their employees by encouraging them to compete against each other. The idea behind such a strategy is that, in the end, everyone will work harder. While that might be a good strategy in some businesses, in our business it is counterproductive. We don’t motivate people by telling them to look at how well someone else is doing and then try to do bet-ter. In extreme cases, we have fi red employees who, although productive and hard working, did not follow our policy about how they treated other people.
We take this very seriously, but the end result is that the employees treat each other professionally and with respect. We always tell people that you don’t have to love your co-worker

or want to go out for a beer with them, but you have to respect them. We want employees to behave professionally toward each other all the time, and our clients also need us to work well together as a team. Respect is the glue that makes the team stick together.
Learn to trustOK, so it’s one thing to get members of your team to respect
one another, but how do you make sure they do their jobs properly? Less may be more here. Often companies come up with all sorts of performance measures in order to make sure that employees are working as hard as they should be. I have never been a big fan of this management style. If you create a system, people will naturally spend their time trying to fi gure out how to get around it. The main concern such “system” managers have is that employees will be lazy or that they won’t do what is needed without being controlled somehow. These managers fl at out don’t trust the people who report to them. If you are such a manager, I recommend that you take a blind leap of faith and just try trusting your people. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve. Obviously, you can’t just give them the keys to the castle and tell them to get on with it. So let me try to clarify: providing employees as much freedom as possible to make decisions about their job can work wonders. Involve your people in the key decisions that affect their work. The goal should be for people to come up with ideas about their work and then implement these ideas. It’s amazing what ownership of an idea or plan does for motivation. I believe that if you have good people, you just need to guide them, let them fi nd the best way themselves. They will be far more motivated and will work much harder if they feel they have participated in a decision rather than being told what to do.
One disclaimer here is that this only works if you employ good solid employees. I am not saying it works for all people. For some, of course, control may be necessary. We’ve gone the route of trusting employees, and, so far, I think that it has worked out well. Employees are expected to work hard and get the job done, which means staying late and doing everything they need to do to make sure they get our projects back to our clients in as timely a fashion as possible and with as few errors as possible. The fl ip side is that when there is less work, we understand that they may need to take care of their personal business on the internet, have a chat with a colleague or even play a good game of foosball.
This does present some management challenges in that not all departments are created equal. There are two types of depart-ments: proactive and reactive. In some departments, the work is proactive. This means that employees of these departments need to create their own work. The sales department is one example, since there is an unlimited amount of work to do in the sales
department. You can always look for a new client or make another telephone call. The second type of department is reactive. The project management department is a good example because our clients determine how much work managers have. If there is a lot of work coming from clients, then the managers need to work hard and stay late if necessary. If there is less work coming in, then they have more free time.
As a result, we have a situation where we control more in some departments and less in others. What makes it chal-lenging from a managerial point of view is that an employee
from a proactive department might look at someone in a reactive department and say, “Why do they get such long breaks? How come every time I go to their room they are doing non-work related stuff on their computer? Why do they go for long lunches?” Well, the answer is quite simple. These same people will have to stay on the job until it gets done; they can’t just go home and fi nish the job tomorrow. Still, even in these proactive departments, we do the best we can to allow as much freedom as possible for employees to create their own work. We believe this is fundamental to motivation. At the end of the day, it all comes down to trust.
When all is said and done, what we really care about is performance, regard-less of whether an employee is proactive
or reactive. As a result, this trust is really offered only to employees who can perform in such an environment — some people are just dying to be controlled, measured and tested. Employees we can’t trust won’t survive. Those who take advantage of the opportunities our system offers fl ourish. We call this the Unspoken Deal, and, at the end of the day, I think it makes us a stronger company and a more appealing place to work.
Communication is kingI have covered respect and empowering employees by trust-
ing them. Another tool in empowering employees is providing them with access to as much information as possible. I have read about total participation management and am fascinated by it. In such companies, salaries and compensation packages are made public, employees work together to defi ne goals and everyone shares in the success of the company. We haven’t gotten that far yet, but we do try to give employees as much information about what’s going on as possible. We regularly provide fi nancial information, both revenue and profi t. We give constant updates on our strategies and our success in achieving goals. We inform people about any important changes or deci-sions that are being made in the company. If there are any new initiatives, we publish information about them. Information can be passed on in many different ways in organizations. Often the grapevine and other gossip channels are king. The way we look
The goal should be for people to come up with ideas about their work and then implement these ideas. It’s amazing what ownership of an idea or plan does for motivation.
41-43 Fountoukidis.edit.indd 4241-43 Fountoukidis.edit.indd 42 1/14/10 9:37:30 AM1/14/10 9:37:30 AM

at it is that it’s best if we control the information channel rather than counting on channels that sometimes skew the message.
As a result, one of our most successful initiatives has been the introduction of a company blog. We have really developed a culture where employees in the company read news on the blog. This allows us to present information to everyone without taking up time in huge company meetings. Some of the infor-mation is not operation-critical. Sometimes it can be minor, such as changes to the lunch-ordering policy. However, we also use this tool to pass on crucial information, and as a result the employees are really well informed about what is going on. Another way of empowering employees is encouraging them to come to us with their problems, ideas and concerns. We want them to be innovative, and ultimately, we really want them to help us run and manage the company. In order to achieve this, we need to give them access and opportunities to talk to their managers and to me. We want to create direct channels of communication.
We have different ways of providing employees with direct communication channels. First, employees are encouraged by their managers to come to them at any time with ideas, prob-lems — anything at all. In addition, we have a component in our appraisal system that is designed to enhance communication. After an employee is appraised by his or her manager, I receive a summary of the appraisal and have a 15-30 minute meet-ing with every single employee in the company. Argos is not
a big company, but we employ over 80 full-time employees. I am sure some of you reading this must be thinking I am com-pletely nuts to spend so much time annually on an additional post-appraisal meeting that doesn’t really add any value to the appraisal process.
I truly believe that these short post-appraisal meetings — we call them briefs — are valuable for a number of reasons. First of all, it allows me to stay in touch with reality. I think it’s very valuable for me, as the CEO, to listen to and understand the problems and issues that employees are facing in their everyday work. It keeps me grounded. In addition, it provides employees a valuable communication channel. In those meet-ings, I am often pushing and pressing for ideas on how we can improve our business or I am trying to understand how the company can be run better. Often I get valuable ideas from such meetings.
Yes, it’s true that it takes time to meet every single employee for a conversation like this once a year, but I think it’s worth it. It also takes time to write blog posts and to work on communica-tion and developing trust and respect amongst employees. Still, I believe such efforts are worthwhile. The result is that employees feel like they can make a difference in the company and, it’s true, they can! If you achieve this then everyone benefi ts.
It’s not easy to build a championship team. It takes time, patience and hard work, but a manager’s performance really is only as good as his or her team. M

The rule states that for many phenomena, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes. Management thinker Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle, and it was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy was received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is that most of the results in any situation are determined by a small number of causes. This idea is often applied to data such as sales figures: “20% of clients are responsible for 80% of sales volume.” Such a state-ment is testable, is likely to be correct and may be helpful in decision making. embedded media. embedded media. Media that can be included in an HTML page, such as Real Audio fi les or GIF animations. Web browsers use multipurpose internet mail extensions (MIME types), a specifi cation for formatting these non-ASCII messages so that they can be sent over the internet. When a browser fi nds a fi le in an HTML document with a MIME extension such as .gif, the browser knows to display that fi le as an image. Many e-mail clients also support MIME.embedded system. embedded system. Hardware and software that make up a component of a larger system, often for real-time response, that is expected to function without human intervention. encoding scheme. encoding scheme.
