Globalization is a critical issue for any company interested in expanding its markets. For the a company that markets sophisticated products, globalization is both more difficult and more critical because of the rich content that is needed to support these products. Product document localization may well be the most difficult aspect of globalization.
Documents often are long, with a mixture of text, tables, charts, and graphics. Moreover, the documentation must be produced in different forms—print, online Help sets, HTML. Translating such documents into multiple languages can be a challenge.
