 Our
Process
Step
1. Investigation:
eTranslate's consultants will meet with key individuals
from your company and compile necessary information
regarding your company's existing architecture,
content, environment, and business objectives. Most
likely, we will need to meet with your engineers, e-commerce
managers, internationalization/globalization managers,
technical managers, network administrators, and marketing
managers.
Step
2. Evaluation:
eTranslate will evaluate your company's global readiness in the following
areas:
-
Information Presentation - Translation of textual
concepts and modification of language/locale dependent
graphics and icons.
-
Cultural Sensitivity of Data - Processing of
language specific data, organization and ordering
of data, and integrity of data holding languagedependent
data.
-
Storage Structures - Validation of data structures
for all databases and language/locale dependent
field sizes.
Step
3. Globalization Solution:
Upon completion of investigation and evaluation, eTranslate will furnish you
with a detailed analysis and formal Globalization Solution. The Globalization
Solution will cover the following areas:

version of your product or service.
