Best Practices for Successfully Implementing a Global Content Management System
is being presented by Jason Arnsparger, Solutions Development Consultant, with ForeignExchange Translations, Inc. and airs on Thursday, January 12th, 2012. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
Thinking about implementing a content management system? As the demand for technical, training, marketing documentation and product labeling increases, so too does the need to deliver this content more quickly and in more languages. To meet these requirements, many regulated companies are migrating towards structured authoring and content management systems that enable the re-use and re-purposing of existing content.
In this presentation, our speaker draws upon first-hand experience, first with a medical device company and more recently with a localization provider, and discusses tips, challenges, best practices and lessons learned with CMS implementations. Attendees receive valuable insight and hear first-hand how to reap the CMS benefits while minimizing implementation headaches.

Optimizing Document Design for More Efficient Translation
is being presented by Amy Maxson, Technical Services Lead, with ForeignExchange Translations and airs on Thursday, December 1st, 2011. For more details, or to register please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
Product documentation is often designed with little thought to its impact on the translation process. This represents a missed opportunity, since the layout and design of your documentation can have as great an impact on localization cost, turnaround time and quality as the content itself. However, it can be a real headache, trying to fit an ever-increasing number of languages – including double-byte languages – into your Instructions for Use, user manuals, and marketing materials. This audio conference presentation shares best practices and pitfalls to avoid when designing documents that will be translated into other languages. Attendees benefit from the first-hand insight of a veteran localizaton professional discussing how best to create graphics, set margins, select fonts and choose software to get the most out of their translation dollars.

How to Minimize or Eliminate In-country Reviews Without Sacrificing Translation Quality
is being presented by Sonia Monahan, Executive Vice President of Quality Systems, with ForeignExchange Translations and airs on Wednesday, October, 12th, 2011. For more details, or to register please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
Every day another international labeling project is set up with its highest element of risk smack-dab at the end of the process. Quality validation is extremely important, especially in regulated industries, and validating translation quality is often accomplished by holding in-country reviews. This step typically consists of employees in local offices completing an assessment of the translation quality. The risks of this step are large, and include missed product launches due to delays in completing in-country reviews, and quality errors introduced by non-linguists during reviews.
In a recent survey on linguistic quality, respondents from the medical device industry, translation service providers, and professional language translators were asked, “What is your biggest translation challenge?”. The number-one answer was “in-country reviews”. The top answer to the question “How is quality measured?” was, ironically, “in-country review feedback”. But are in-country reviews an absolute necessity in order to achieve optimal translation quality? This audio conference examines ways to minimize or even remove the in-country review step from the translation cycle, while still adhering to regulatory and corporate requirements for translation validation.

Budgeting for Translations
is being presented by Jason Heaton, with ForeignExchange Translations, Inc. and airs on Wednesday, September 21st, 2011. For more details, or to register please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
Do you struggle with budgeting for translations? You’re not alone. Translation used to be an afterthought, a line item tacked onto the bottom of a budget. My, how things have changed... With the flattening world comes an increased need for localized, translated product documentation. In a tough global economy, companies’ upper management are sharpening pencils and paying more attention to translation costs. This means more pressure to find ways to accurately forecast, and budget for, translations.
The trouble is, translation work has many variables that conspire to make budgeting seem like something akin to fortune telling. Project schedules, different language needs and rates, document types and translation memory leveraging are only some of these variables. The key to increasing accuracy in translation budgeting lies in the ability to minimize or lock down the variability to a predictable level.
This audio conference provides an overview of the variables that impact translation budgeting. It offers an insider’s view of how projects are priced at a translation agency and how you can maximize efficiency and work with your providers to keep costs lower and more predictable. Finally, the discussion covers concrete tips on how to create ballpark budgets for your translation projects and extrapolate for quarterly and annual numbers.

Writing for a Global Audience
is being presented by Sonja Jacobsen, Manager of Project Services, with ForeignExchange Translations and airs on Thursday, September 8th, 2011. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
Ideally, developing content for a global audience takes into account translation considerations during the English authoring phase. However, translation and localization issues in the source material often only come to light during translation. This generally means a longer and most likely a costlier translation phase than most companies had anticipated, and can sometimes necessitate changes to the source content after it has already been released.
This audio conference presentation is designed to provide attendees with insight and guidance on how to author and structure English content which is targeting a global audience. Rather than simply providing an exhaustive list of do’s and don’ts in writing, the speaker seeks to explain and provide possible solutions to some of the translation challenges posed by US/English-centric content.

Effective Translation Process for Japan Regulatory Submissions
is being presented by Jason Heaton, Compliance Specialist, with ForeignExchange Translations, and airs on Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
Many companies doing business in Japan rely on their Japanese affiliates to handle the creation of regulatory documentation, due to language and cultural considerations and the complexities of Japanese regulations. A problem with this approach is that often the US-based companies then don't know exactly what was submitted to the government, which can have serious implications.
The Japan submission dossier preparation and translation process requires a unique approach. Cooperation among submission authors, the translators and the Japanese affiliate is essential to make it work. When it does, a company can be assured that its English and Japanese submissions stay consistent, and there are no questions about what is submitted. It has the side benefit of building cross-cultural teams, where both parties focus on their core competencies.
This audio conference discusses how regulatory documentation gets translated, looks at specific approaches companies take for their Japan dossier creation, identifies the problems with the usual approaches, and then presents best practices for creating consistent, accurate and timely submissions.

The quality of translation lies in the eye of the beholder, making a "good" or "bad" judgement highly subjective. Miscommunication and stylistic preferences often mark these discussions and a surprising number of organizations and translation vendors have no quality system in place at all.
When there is no single, accepted definition of translation quality, how can organizations measure it? This audio conference will help you better understand the proven methodologies for measuring translation quality and sort through the myriad options available to find a solution that is right for you.

Introduction to Software Localization
is being presented by Sandra La Brasca, Solutions Development Director, with ForeignExchange Translations and airs on Tuesday, July 6th, 2010. For more details or to register for this event, please visit our website at www.fxconferences.com
Forethought and planning is beneficial with any translation or localization project. With software localization, it becomes paramount. This presentation focuses on the importance of proper preparation before launching any software localization project. The speaker provides concrete examples of the issues that can arise in the absence of adequate planning – issues related to terminology, tools to be used and technical considerations such as proper software internationalization. Additionally, the presentation outlines the steps involved in localization from translation through final testing, and discusses the ROI of proper preparation, showing the costs incurred for internationalization versus fixing internationalization bugs later in the development process.

Bridging the Linguistic Quality Gap: How to Measurably Improve Translation Quality
is being presented by Sonia Monahan, Executive Vice President of Quality Systems, with ForeignExchange Translations and airs Tuesday, June 1st, 2010. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
A cornerstone of the translation industry is the quality of the linguistic work completed, yet linguistic quality remains nebulous for many end clients and translation suppliers. Linguistic quality means different things to different organizations and for different types of projects. With lack of measurable quality systems comes the need to add steps to the process to “ensure” quality. This perceived increase in quality (more people looking at the text) results in slower time-to-market and increased costs.
This audio conference looks at how to move from an uncertain quality outcome to measurable, predictable quality, while presenting an approach to defining, measuring and improving linguistic quality within an organization. The speaker also discusses how to utilize these measurements to meet the organization’s business objectives on a broader scale, spanning improvements in cost and time-to-market.

The 2010 MDD Revisions and What They Mean for Translation
Companies are scrambling to meet the new requirements of the 2010 European Medical Device Directive (MDD). One of the most challenging components of the new directive is the increased focus on language translation for software and labeling. The updated MDD states that software that is integral to the operation of a medical device must be translated into the languages of the countries in which the device will be sold. In the past, companies have been able to avoid software translation by stating that the great majority of professional device users can read English.
Software translation is no small feat. It can be expensive, time-consuming and a minefield for errors. But it doesn't have to be this way. Through implementing some best practices and avoiding common pitfalls, software translations can go smoothly. Notified bodies are now placing particular emphasis on the risks presented by inaccurate labeling and translations. Inaccuracies in labeling and IFUs can lead to incorrect use of a device, resulting in injury, death, notified body action, lawsuits and bad publicity. The root causes of inaccurate translations are many, but fortunately, these can be sidestepped through careful preparation, translator screening and efficient processes.
This presentation focuses on the implications of the 2010 MDD for translation. It also covers specific best practices and common pitfalls in software translation and labeling translation, and looks at some of the most common root causes of inaccurate labeling and how to avoid them.
