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
