For each initiative, eTranslate develops a master glossary in the source language and adds to it industry specific terminology and any terms that may be deemed difficult to translate. Translation Managers work with in-country resources to develop glossaries and style guides, thus ensuring that current dictionaries and reference books can be utilized and that members are enmeshed in the target culture. Localization Engineering Localization Engineering provides clients with the software skills necessary for Web site and Web application adaptation to different cultures.
