The localization of PanPacific.com and ParkRoyalHotels.com into Chinese and Japanese supports the Group¡¯s global customer outreach strategy 

NEW YORK & SINGAPORE, May 6, 2014 ¨C ¾ÅÉ«, the world¡¯s largest privately held provider of language services and translation-related technologies, today announced an engagement with Pan Pacific Hotels Group, a Singapore-based hotel company with over 30 ¡°Pan Pacific¡± and PARKROYAL hotels, resorts, and serviced suites across Asia, Oceania, and North America.

¾ÅÉ« completed the localization of the refreshed ¡°Pan Pacific¡± and PARKROYAL websites¡ª and ¡ªinto Simplified Chinese and Japanese, the two key markets for both hotel brands. The new websites, which are searchable and bookable in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese, officially launched this week.

To streamline internal project management processes, Pan Pacific Hotels Group deployed ¾ÅÉ«¡¯s GlobalLink technology, an enterprise-scale application that automates many of the manual tasks associated with the translation of global content. Using customized workflow technology that integrates with Adobe Experience Manager, GlobalLink will streamline the ongoing maintenance of Pan Pacific¡¯s global sites by automatically routing new content to ¾ÅÉ«¡¯s production department for translation and placing the translated content back on the localized sites. 

According to Angie Ho, Vice President, Online Marketing for Pan Pacific Hotels Group, ¡°To deliver the most authentic ¡°Pan Pacific¡± and PARKROYAL brand experiences consistently to our target customers in different markets, it is important for us to equip our refreshed websites with functionalities that enable customers to research about our properties and destinations as well as to make bookings in their preferred language. ¾ÅÉ«¡¯s GlobalLink technology provides an easy and cost-effective system to keep our localized sites in perfect sync with the English version, ensuring that our customers always receive the most up-to-date information.¡± 

¾ÅÉ« Co-CEO Liz Elting added, ¡°We thank Pan Pacific Hotels Group for giving us the opportunity to support the launch of their multilingual websites, and we look forward to supporting their ongoing global strategy.¡±
