RDATE:04302002
Maidenhead, U.K. -- Multilingual Desktop Management, an independent division of SDL International, selling Desktop translation products to corporations and localization service vendors, announced today that Getty Images has chosen its SDLX Translation Suite to save time and costs on their website localization.
Following an exhaustive selection process, Getty Images chose the SDLX Translation Suite because it decisively simplified the translation process and reduced the cost of localizing its XML-based web content. Exploiting SDLX's simplified process for working with groups of files (vs. one at a time) and its simplified translator interface, Getty Images has already completed work on their first pilot project into Spanish.
Anna Bjarnestam, Senior Linguistic Architect at Getty Images, said: "After testing all the major tools in the TM marketplace, we chose SDLX Translation Suite as the most reliable tool for our localization requirements. SDLX Translation Suite allows us to save a considerable amount on translation costs by capturing repeated text and displaying untranslated text. We chose to work with Multilingual Desktop Management because of their robust tool offering, professional attitude, and expert advice. When SDL's services are added to the mixture, we have been able to acquire a complete solution for our multilingual developments."
"We are delighted to have been selected by the leader in its field of image library management", said Brian Briggs, General Manager, Multilingual Desktop Division. "We look forward to serving Getty over the months and years ahead as we continue to enhance our products to match the evolving needs of our growing customer base."
