It has already become apparent to many companies that communication in diverse languages is imperative in order to build and maintain a global brand in the 21st century. Less clear (at least to those not already acquainted with the translation industry) is the terminology associated with translation services. L10N, GILT, DTP, I18N... what does it all mean? Avantpage is here to help you navigate these sometimes confusing terms in a special report called "Translation 411: A Quick Guide To The Services You Need In The 21st Century Global Economy".  Avantpage's special report has been written as a service to help organizations better understand the terminology and the necessities of the globalization process. We'll continue to examine all of the linguistic issues that affect business and keep our clients informed.

In today’s global economy, it is an absolute necessity that your company be able to communicate to Spanish speakers of all cultures. Our priority as a premier Spanish translation provider is ensuring that your message is clear. Establishing a worldwide presence requires quality Spanish translation services that work for you – and nothing less. Our native-speaking Spanish translators understand that Spanish is a living language-a language with many different dialects and shades of meaning.  So whether you’re doing business in Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, Spain, or the United States, our sensitive Spanish translations will be just right for your audience. Statistics show that by 2016, the Latino/Hispanic population will make up 16% of the entire United States workforce, or 26.2 million people, and by 2050, the Latino/Hispanic group will make up 30% of the US population. Establish a positive corporate image for your business in Latino/Hispanic communities by creating Spanish-language messaging that is on target linguistically as well as culturally. Why is quality so important when it comes to Spanish translations? There is no margin for error. You have one opportunity to make a dynamic and lasting impression-a chance to show your Spanish-speaking audience that you understand who they are and what they want. High-quality translation will solidify your market position, strengthen your relationships with your audience, and more effectively brand your business. At Avantpage, we are here so that you succeed.

We’re glad to let you know that the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) has chosen Avantpage for exclusive language translation of its marketing communications documents and website pages. Avantpage was awarded the two-year contract because of high ratings on areas such as its proven ability to manage multiple projects under tight deadlines, and for its commitment to value. Avantpage will translate into Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Hmong, Korean, and Tagalog languages. Serving more than 590,000 residential and commercial customers in a 900-square mile area, SMUD provides Spanish translation for its website. This allows SMUD to communicate necessary information-such as education and safety, bill paying, ways to save energy, how to schedule repairs, online account information, and much more-to customers who may have limited proficiency in English. By presenting their website in English and Spanish, SMUD is doing more than connecting cross-culturally with its existing customers–it’s reaching out to potential customers too. “SMUD and Avantpage are a perfect fit, as they demand technically sophisticated file handling, quick turnarounds, and excellent linguistic quality that is easy to understand-all Avantpage strengths,” says Luis Miguel, Avantpage CEO.
