TRANSLATION OPPORTUNITIES
(NOT HURDLES)
![Page 9: Single Sourcing for a Global Audience](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051413/5579be9ed8b42aca7a8b4f8f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
USING CONDITIONAL TEXT AND SNIPPETS
CONSIDERATIONS
Example:
– “Model number {variable} is forbidden for use outside
of the United States.”
![Page 10: Single Sourcing for a Global Audience](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051413/5579be9ed8b42aca7a8b4f8f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
TEXT EXPANSION
Example:
“FAQ” results in expansion – “Preguntas frecuentes” in Spanish
• Compound nouns - German, Finnish and Dutch
• Responsive writing - design to allow for text re-flow
Avoid fixed-width headers, tabs, buttons and graphics.
![Page 11: Single Sourcing for a Global Audience](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051413/5579be9ed8b42aca7a8b4f8f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Arabic and Hebrew, will
result in text expansion of +15 to +30%
• Dutch and German can expand +35% or more
• Chinese, Japanese and Korean will generally contract -10% to -55%
• Certain languages like Chinese can expand vertically
