Subject: RM documentation translation issues...
Good (Late) Afternoon ListServe,
My client has offices in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and The Netherlands where,
in addition to their US locations, we publish records management
policies, procedures, standards, guidelines, instructions, etc. For
those of you who work for international companies, how do you handle
translating your RM documents into the various languages of the
countries in which you operate?
We're looking at a number of options including hiring a translation
service or using translation software (we'd be concerned about
accuracy). All of our documentation is created here in Miami Lakes in
English, and must be translated into "Puerto Rican" Spanish, "Mexican"
Spanish--which, (and I must confess my ignorance here) I didn't know was
different than Puerto Rican Spanish, and The Netherlands' Dutch
language. We're also looking at what other departments and functions
here are doing for documents they share with these other foreign
offices.
Any and all comments are welcome.
Thanks.
Earl
