content each is responsible for

It’s 10PM. Do You Know Where Your Content Is?

 To create a strategy, you must locate your content

 Everyone is creating content, all over your company
 How much of it is being translated? Where? By whom?

Content Rules, Inc.
All rights reserved.
Content – Everybody’s Doing it

Three ways content can be created and translated:
 By your team, managing your translation vendors
 By other teams, managing different vendors
 By people in each geography, writing in their native
language

Create a Catalog

Who wrote the content
What group is responsible for localizing/translating
Which languages
List each translation vendor, per language
Where are the TMs
Who is assigned to review the translation
What process per language: translation, localization,
transcreation, pivot

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Local expectations are important. The classic story here is Gerber Baby Food. In the US, we sell Gerber Baby Food in jars with pictures of a fat baby with puffy cheeks on the label. This meets our cultural expectations. In Africa, the cultural expectation – because literacy is low – is that the picture on the outside of the jar is of the ingredients. So a picture of a baby with fat cheeks says that the baby food consists of … you guessed it … ground up baby! A lesson Gerber learned very, very painfully.
