Sender: owner-framers@xxxxxxxxx
A huge thank you to all the people who responded to my request for
translation companies that work in FrameMaker. Special thanks to Ananda
Banttari and Dick Gaskill, who provided extensive listings of translation
companies. In this email, I've tried to summarize (sort of).
My apologies for the delay in posting this summary...I was on vacation last
week.

Hi Sarah:
I just found your announcement on a list serv today. We have extensive
experience in translating large FrameMaker documents with our in-house
teams of Japanese, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese translators.
Other languages, such as Italian, we could also provide by utilizing our
large net of freelance translators that we have. I would be very
interesting to talk more to you about this opportunity.

Sarah, I am following up an email from Jaye Barnett regarding your
request for localization vendors that work in FrameMaker and can translate
into Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.
As Jaye said, we work with Adobe and have done many of their products into
over 9 languages, including those named. All of their documentation is
done in FrameMaker. In addition to Adobe, over 70% of our clients provide
us their documentation files in FrameMaker format and we deliver the
translated files to them in the translated language in FrameMaker. It is
definitely becoming industry standard. Below is a bit of an overview of
SDL International and our services:
Founded in 1992, SDL International's focus is on localizing:
* Software (including help, manuals and packaging materials) *
Technical publications * Multimedia, including computer games and
computer-based training * Web origination and localization
With over 12 locations worldwide, SDL employs over 270 full-time
localizers and 700 qualified contract translators. We have expertise on all
major platforms and with all major European and Asian languages.
SDL's engineering foundation makes us a premiere company in software
localization. Our project managers are seasoned experts with strong
management and technical backgrounds. SDL uses the best available tools for
localization, including its sdlx translation memory tool, designed to
maximize quality and minimize time-to-market. SDL also has its own studios
for multimedia production, assuring you the best price, quality and
turnaround on any multimedia project.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss further. We're happy to
provide you with a free estimate to translate your materials into the
languages that you need and references as well. I'm happy to send you a
brochure also, just let me know. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards, Kathleen _________________________________________
