Multilingual SEO – Optimizing Your Technical Content for Findability

24 April 2013 | 12pm ET (18 CET)

Presenter:

Matthew Jackson, Head of Foreign Language Internet Marketing, Lingo24
PG Bartlett, SVP Product Management, Acrolinx

You work hard to create readable and consistent documentation, and you spend tons of money translating it for your worldwide audience – how do you make sure everyone can find it? That’s the problem that multilingual Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps you solve.

But if you’re optimizing hundreds or thousands of pages of technical documentation or support content, you can’t afford to pay a third party to optimize each page in each language. So now what can you do?

In this webinar, we will cover these topics:

  • How to equip authors to make smart decisions about keyword selection
  • Free tools that can make your authors’ decisions even smarter
  • Pitfalls of relying on traditional approaches to translation for keyword translation
  • Five key aspects for achieving online success in other languages

Register today for this complimentary webinar and learn how to make your content findable everywhere!

Please join me in welcoming Allison Hepburn, our new Product Evangelist!

Allison comes to us from IBM where she served as their Technical Editing and Videography Team Lead. It was there that, among her many other duties, she was tasked with maintaining and improving the quality of IBM’s documentation using Acrolinx. Naturally, she quickly fell in love with our product’s capabilities and has been championing Acrolinx.

If you have any questions about Acrolinx in the workflow, I know that Allison’s “real world” use of Acrolinx in her former position will be extremely helpful. Be careful though, her enthusiasm is infectious.

Date – April 10, 2013

In our previous eSeminar, “The Evolution of Technical Communication Processes”, we talked about the next megatrend on the horizon.  Now it’s time to apply these concepts firsthand and fully realize the power of information quality control within one of the most powerful desktop publishing environments available today. Witness a powerful demonstration of how Acrolinx can enhance FrameMaker content far beyond where you thought it could go!

Content is king, as we all know, but many of those in the technical writing industry lack the means to truly prioritize their content. As a result, errors can escape the notice of even the most well-intentioned writers and editors. With Acrolinx, we’ll show you how to tighten your writing skills and nip these problems in the bud – from basic spelling and grammar errors, to more industry-specific problems like the use of deprecated terminology, branding violations, and ambiguous/superfluous phrases and vocabulary.  We’ll also show you how Acrolinx optimizes content reuse for purposes of consistency and localization/translation.

About the Presenter: Thomas Aldous is Senior Vice President of Global Operations at Acrolinx. A former Director of Business Development and Evangelism for Tech Comm Suite with Adobe, Tom has well over 20 years experience in high level consulting implimenting publishing solutions built around XML, DITA, FrameMaker and other products.
