Localization Service
When talking about localization, most people gets the inappropriate conception that it's just a copy of original one in a different language. No big deal! However when you ask decision makers, senior managers and officers, they will tell you they want to
deliver specific product or service in language of target country,
attract more audience, and
increase more sales,
without conflicting the cultural norm of that target area
This is more than translation. It's a combined service of business consulting, project management, applied technology, document translation and desktop publishing. We are native speakers of Chinese language, and we are eager to share our experience with those companies with aspiration of improving penetration then building significant presence in Chinese market. SinoLSP provides comprehensive one-stop service for Website Localization, Catalog Localization and Manual / Specification Localization.

Catalog Localization
For many industrial companies, product catalog is their primary sales tool. They need it on time (cannot afford to postpone product launch), at printing standard (cannot stand mediocre quality standard) and well within budget. It would be extremely challenging without effective Project Management, which ensures that every penny is well spent to leverage larger benefits. And catalog translation is not one-time business. These companies would periodically upgrade their catalogs, with similar descriptions, so it would be such a huge waste if language service vendor cannot leverage on that.
Our Strengths:
Optimize work flow and minimize project lead time.
Maintain industry-scale Translation Memory (TM) and Terminology Base (TB) that can be leveraged to promote quality and lower cost.
Capable to process various format documents on different platforms into simple text flow.

Manual / Specification Localization
For many industrial companies, product catalog is their primary sales tool. They need it on time (cannot afford to postpone product launch), at printing standard (cannot stand mediocre quality standard) and well within budget. It would be extremely challenging without effective Project Management, which ensures that every penny is well spent to leverage larger benefits. And catalog translation is not one-time business. These companies would periodically upgrade their catalogs, with similar descriptions, so it would be such a huge waste if language service vendor cannot leverage on that.
Process
The process is quite similar to that of Catalog localization. Difference is that:
repetition rate of manuals and specifications is much lower than that of catalogs
Focus shifts to Accuracy and User Experience.
