Translation services for cross-media publishing systems give organizations a powerful way to manage and re-purpose multilingual content for delivery across numerous channels, including print, CD-ROM, Web, and wireless. Our cross-media experts know the editorial process and work-arounds in the complexities of a multi-lingual XML-based publishing environment.

Content tagging using SGML or XML markup languages permits content in any language to be identified, stored, retrieved, and reused with greater ease. SGML- or XML-tagged data can be used for the creation, management, and maintenance of large collections of complex information, which is particularly useful for multilingual publishing projects.

SGML is platform- and software-independent, so the same source files may be used with a wide variety of operating systems and authoring and publishing environments over and over again.

Cross-publishing content has to be carefully planned for multi-lingual publishing success. We offer extensive experience in document analysis, data tagging, templating, and java-scripted PDF files for multilingual interactivity.

Your legacy data can be converted from typesetting or word processing files to SGML/XML for database or file-based document management. Our translation teams can validate legacy data to assure that the content meets the rules established by your DTD. We'll also review the data before delivery and collaborate with authors and editors to clean up data in intermediate steps. Converting existing assets to SGML/XML prepares your information for cost-effective reuse, thus taking advantage of all current and future delivery channels.
