• Partner with a company who will integrate into your culture.
• Invest at least as much time in this as you did to create the
English copy.
• Create a shared language strategy and vision.
• Size may not matter… the big ones use the little ones.
• Workflow tools and systems are no longer a USP.
• Maintain control of your language assets.
• Give it time… you will go through the transition curve.
• Once developed a pool of translators is a fantastic resource
for your company.
• Fully integrate them into the content creation process.
• Use an agile approach to customer/supplier management.
Top tips for picking a language partner
