GLOBALIZE LITHIUM

The GeoFluent integration into Lithium’s community platform increases participation by translating user generated content

into the preferred language of every community participant and allowing individuals to search for and find content using their

preferred language, regardless of the original language of the posts.

MULTILINGUAL FORUMS, BLOGS & WIKIS

Before GeoFluent real-time translation, community applications such as forums, blogs and wikis were only open to

participants who spoke the same language, and content was diluted by either having multiple redundant communities in

multiple languages or by simply not having communities for non-English speaking customers. By adding GeoFluent to your

Lithium community, language-specific communities can be eliminated, site traffic and participation will increase, questions will

be answered more quickly, and support costs will decrease, resulting in more satisfied and loyal customers.

MULTILINGUAL AVAILABILITY OF CONTENT VIA SEARCH ENGINES

GeoFluent makes all of your site content available to search engines like Google and Bing for indexing, no matter what

language it was posted in. This means that the content in your communities will be relevant and match search terms in every

language... That’s organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO), resulting in more traffic and higher rankings for your site in every

language.

For example, let’s say a Spanish-speaking customer is having technical issues, so she or he goes to Google to search for an

answer by typing "Acme browser crashes" in Spanish ("navegador de Acme se bloquea").

GEOFLUENT LANGUAGE QUALITYIMPROVEMENTS

Since automatic translation has traditionally been a “one size fits all” solution, it has often fallen short in terms of linguistic

quality. GeoFluent, on the other hand, provides you a set of tools that allow you to control how you want certain content

translated. This means that everything from your brand to your specialized terminology is correctly maintained in every

language.

ABOUTLIONBRIDGE

It does this by using customized glossaries of your branding and

other sensitive terminology to make sure that your brand identity is

preserved in every language. GeoFluent can even leverage your

existing translated assets, such as translation memories, to ensure

consistency with your current localized content. GeoFluent also

protects sensitive data from being exposed to 3rd party machine

translation engines via sequestration of data such as credit card

numbers and addresses. GeoFluent also improves translations by

normalizing the type of language often found in chat and

forums—everything from chat shorthand to slang to common typos.

By normalizing these types of problems to a standard input,

GeoFluent maximizes the quality of the translated output.
