Global lessons learned • Globalization requirements should be factored into technology decisions • TMS integration had not been factored into the planning • Keep the content simple, but not abstract • Glossary development is needed prior to translation • Country marketing teams need bandwidth to assist • Existing localization strategy provided strong foundation • Level of awareness raised for critical nature of localization

ICR vs. Translation • Criteria examples to focus
T9N Mgt Challenges Minimize re-writing/revisions for target languages Prepare translators in advance Refer to the staging server frequently Reviewed text sometimes does not match the source language in the TM, so be careful when recycling content
ICR Challenges Need adequate TAT Review criteria as business point of view • Confirm content is suitable for local business • Align with the local product release to local • Use terms consistently – same as BU/ industry • Verify specs and data are correct Edit in TMS - Referring to the staging server takes time
Keys for effective T9N Improve translation quality to reduce ICR workload 100% matches may need quick review (TM is not “perfect” for recycling) Send “comments” to ICR reviewers Terminology may change when a new product is released
