Going global with ECM

Translations.com (www.translations.com) and Percussion (www.percussion.com) have formed a partnership that integrates their product offerings to enhance the creation and management of global Web content. The deal calls for Translations.com's GlobalLink Globalization Management System to be offered as a multilingual module for Percussion's Rhythmyx 5.7 content management system and will enable customers to produce and update global content in as many as 100 languages.

The companies say the benefits of managing multilingual Web sites with an combined GlobalLink-Rhythmyx solution include:

• empowering business users to localize each Web presence,
• streamlining the translation of Web content,
• keeping translated content fresh,
• maintaining corporate branding standards across localized sites,
• reducing overall localization costs, and
• applying best practices to effectively deploy localized multilingual sites.
