Successful International Strategies Demand Accurate Translation Services in Houston
Today developing an international strategy is necessary for businesses wanting to expand their customer bases. However, marketing internationally also increases the complexity of business communication and creates written and spoken communication challenges. Because businesses today rely on accurate and timely communication, they face ever increasing hazards when operating on an international level. Consequently, businesses must rely on Houston Translation Services Agency to communicate with their stakeholders in the local language.
For example, Royal Dutch Shell, a British–Dutch multinational oil and gas company headquartered in the Netherlands, operates in more than 70 countries. To meet these countries’ demands, Shell translates its manuals, operating procedures, reports, correspondence and other materials into French, Italian, German, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Greek, Japanese, Korean and other languages.
These multicultural documents face challenges that require answers to the following questions:
- What manuals, reports and other correspondence should be identical representations of the source files, and which ones require cultural, regional and local changes?
- Will all versions follow a global communications policy that mandates tone, style, content, units and conversions?
- Will each version be tested, reviewed and edited for usability, cultural sensitivity and accuracy?
