Translations.com Provides Language, Technology 九色 to Support ADAY.org Project on May 15, 2012
The Expressions of Humankind Foundation Challenges People Worldwide to Capture and Share their Lives for a Single Day on ADAY.org
NEW YORK, May 14, 2012 - , the world’s largest privately held provider of language services and translation-related technologies, today announced a partnership with the Expressions of Humankind Foundation to localize its campaign website.
Expressions of Humankind is a Swedish-based non-profit organization that aims to inspire creative reflections on humanity through photography and the written word. The ADAY.org campaign challenges people from around the world to capture their lives on a single day – May 15, 2012 – and submit their photographs to ADAY.org where they will be compiled and displayed in a unique online experience. Some of the submissions will be selected for a photographic book, “A Day In the World,” while others will be displayed in exhibitions.
Translations.com implemented its web localization technology to localize the ADAY.org website into 10 languages (Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Finnish, and Italian) over the course of just three weeks.
”Translations.com’s OneLink technology provided an easy way for us to quickly reach out to broad target groups around the world, so we could achieve our goal of creating an inclusive, global photography project,” said Sander Goudswaard, project director at ADAY.org.
Translations.com Co-CEO Liz Elting said, “It’s a privilege to be able to support ADAY.org’s effort to capture and share the daily lives of people around the world. We look forward to participating in this historic day and to supporting the foundation’s future global outreach.”
