Hebrew and Turkish added to our language set!


Iota LS were recently contracted to start a major project in what are two new languages for us; Vietnamese and Ukrainian. This brings the total of languages that Iota LS offer to 28. By “offer” we mean that we are performing work in these languages, now, and in large volume (projects of 75k words or more). We don’t mean that we produced an obscure brochure for a customer once (2 million years ago). And we don’t mean that we could do these languages; we do these languages.

Map 1914

Our current set of active languages are Arabic, Brazilian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish (all flavours), Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

Not bad for a niche company.

The secret to Chinese translation and indeed Documentation translation in general is in the proper application of DTP, which is short for Desk Top Publishing, and Globalization techniques. CRM Translation roughly equates to CRM Localization (or Localisation as it is known here). Going Global (or Globalization for short) is the Internationalization of German translation and Japanese translation through a L10N process. Marketing Localization or Marketing Translation is also a speciality for Moravia, simultrans and SDL, but they don’t do it well in my opinion. Saas Localization or Saas Translation is another tricky one. The services of Translation, Translation Services, Software Engineering and Software Testing are vital also, but Web Localization and Web Translation are big earners for us.
