DLS consists of seasoned staff able to manage and coordinate comprehensive communication services across multiple platforms worldwide. Our nearly 30 years of experience in the field of translation and translation technology makes DLS uniquely qualified to help you deliver your message to the world.
Successful global customer programs require far more than yesterday’s traditional language services. Today we’re travelling at warp speed towards a new world of digital everything. To meet those challenges we offer the latest Translation Memory (TM) technology, powerful cloud-based translation management systems (TMS), and a convenient 24/7 accessible client portal (MyDLS) – all with one thing in mind: you!
Language leveraging tools achieve greater brand consistency and terminological continuity saving you valuable time and significant money. Workflow automation eliminates labor-intensive manual processes, and our client portal provides a highly transparent and centralized repository for all your linguistic assets as well as real-time project information on status, cost, savings, and more..
Another persistent factor of success in the global marketplace is simply the speed with which you get there. Through the use of appropriate translation technology, Digital Language Services enhances your ability to quickly put your product information into the hands of an international clientele.
Pairing excellent human translation skills with technology reduces your time-to-market and garners economic efficiencies which are always passed on to our customers. Our leveraging and automation tools continually reduce translation costs, increase consistency and quality, while helping to bring a project in on almost any timeline.
Clear and concise communication is critical in the global marketplace, and it’s most effectively achieved by connecting with your target audiences in their native language. At Digital Language Services, we help our clients attain a successful global presence by using customized, yet predictable localization processes, hand-picked linguistic subject-matter experts, alongside cutting-edge language technology designed to ensure superior quality every step of the way.
