New York--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Translations.com, the world’s largest privately held provider of language services and translation-related technologies, today announced that Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. is using its GlobalLink® Suite to streamline the workflows for translation, review, and approval of its website copy in 20 languages, including Chinese, Finnish, Russian, Spanish, and Czech. A global direct selling company, Nu Skin operates in 52 markets worldwide and has more than 825,000 independent distributors.
Prior to launching Translations.com’s GlobalLink localization management software, Nu Skin relied on a decentralized Web model in which regional sites were managed separately and translations were performed by in-house staff. Nu Skin deployed GlobalLink Project Director, Translation & Review Portal, and TransStudio in 2010, quickly translating a significant store of core content and speeding the process by which new web content could be published across all global markets.
"Our headquarters are in Utah, yet we operate in 52 markets globally," said Dan Chard, president of global sales and operations for Nu Skin. "We wanted to streamline the process for localizing new and dynamic content for all regions, as well as for our distributors. Translations.com fulfills that goal, letting us empower distributors around the world with innovative products and rewarding business opportunities."
GlobalLink’s Project Director module manages Nu Skin’s complex localization requirements for both online and offline content, submitting content for translation in Translations.com’s production centers and then reinserting it into Nu Skin’s system within 24 hours. The company also uses the Translation & Review Portal to eliminate the manual process of distributing, translating, and reviewing documents among stakeholders. Nu Skin’s TransStudio implementation provides a collaborative environment in which Translation Memory files can be accessed quickly and efficiently.
"Nu Skin’s global operations generate more than a billion dollars in revenue each year, and sustaining that level of business activity worldwide requires the company to communicate in a clear, timely, and relevant manner in all of its markets," said Liz Elting, co-CEO of Translations.com. "GlobalLink lets Nu Skin help its worldwide distributors better convey the value of its products to their own customers, regardless of where they live or what languages they speak."
