Market Leaders Adopt Lionbridge GeoFluent™ Real-Time Translation Platform as Beta Customers
GeoFluent Customized Translation Platform Unlocks the Knowledge of Global Enterprises with Real-Time Multilingual Communication
WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX) today announced that three highly prominent and innovative technology companies have chosen to become beta customers for Lionbridge GeoFluent, an automated translation technology that instantly translates content and communications into multiple languages. A worldwide networking leader, the world leader in silicon innovation and a leader in security, storage and systems management are the first companies to join the beta program for Lionbridge's GeoFluent real time translation platform. These organizations are participating in the program to address their growing requirements for customizable, cost-effective, instantaneous translation of enterprise content that is not currently translated, such as:
- Real-time multilingual chat to enable successful online customer care and pre-sales engagements in global markets without having to rely on costly in-country support staff
- Instantaneous translation of partner web pages to ensure technology associates can interact and engage in their local language
- On-demand translation of user-generated content in global customer support forums
"These market leading organizations recognize the need to advance and expedite customer engagements in global markets. Until the development of Lionbridge GeoFluent, enterprises have been constrained by the cost and time barrier of traditional human translation and the quality barrier of generic machine translation tools," said Rory Cowan, CEO of Lionbridge. "As a result, most enterprise content never reaches audiences in global markets. This beta program is proving that GeoFluent can effectively remove these barriers and unlock the knowledge of the global enterprise."
