Enterprises Capture Revenue Behind Language Barrier with viaLanguage OLS 2.5

System-wide improvements in online translation services help companies in ease of ordering

PORTLAND, Oregon — As companies look for ways to communicate effectively with their clients, employees and the public, many are finding they need to overcome language barriers.

The simplest and still most common roadblock for companies today remains language translation—that is, how to make international customers and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) customers in the U.S. aware of an organization’s products and services, in a culturally sensitive way. Companies may have a bi-lingual person on staff, but most don’t have anyone who is able to translate in languages such as Spanish, Russian or Japanese fluently.

viaLanguage, an international provider of translation services, is already helping major corporations like General Motors, Microsoft and Citibank efficiently translate marketing materials, user manuals, websites and software in a culturally sensitive way.

In keeping up with market trends and customer demands, viaLanguage released version 2.5 of its Online Language Service (OLS) platform, featuring:

• Translation services in more than 50 languages
• Business and personal account creation
• Instant account set-up and ability to add multiple users
• Job completion notification to multiple users
• Customized pricing
• One-day turnaround
• Online tracking and cost/usage reporting

“This is an urgent business need for us. viaLanguage online translation has not only been an extremely easy process but a very efficient one as well. Their online site makes it quite simple to check your languages, indicate your area of business, make any notes and upload your file for a quick quote for very fast translation,” says Michelle Adams, Manager of Creative Services for KMS Research LLC.
