Document globalization professionals from Globalization Partners and ADOBE will discuss how to dramatically reduce multilingual publishing and translation costs by upgrading to FrameMaker 9 with DITA.

• How one template can be used to control all formatting, including font changes and language specific prefixes like "Table" and "Figure", for 27 target languages
• Learn how to convert an unstructured Quark manual (neither index markers nor cross references) to FrameMaker and how to convert to DITA structure with working indexterms and crossrefs

"GPI has been providing global Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services to leading Search Engine Marketing Firms, Interactive and Ad Agencies and Fortune 1000 clients as part of its website localization offering for over six years now," said Martin Spethman, GPI's Managing Partner. "We have added keyword researchers, web copy writers, and global SEO specialists to our team globally. We have also refined our offering based on continuously tracking trends in search engines, user behavior and user preferences by country."

"Since clients need to ensure new language versions of their websites are well received and well visited by their target audiences in various countries, every website localization project should include some form of Search Engine Marketing (SEM)," says Federico Pascual, GPI's Director Global Search Engine Marketing Practice. "GPI's Global SEM Services will help clients' multilingual web content achieve better rankings in global and country-specific search engine results pages (SERPs) resulting in increased traffic and ROI with language version sites."

GPI's Global Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Services include:

• Comprehensive Website translation and localization

"GPI has witnessed an increased demand for DITA as a solution for companies who need to manage translation memory and high volume content in useable modules," says Martin Spethman, GPI's Managing Partner.  "GPI's document globalization practice has added a "turn key" suite of services to migrate unstructured customer data into more economical DITA/XML format resulting in significant savings in authoring and localization."

"Migrating large volumes of documentation from unstructured FrameMaker, for example, into a highly useful DITA/XML format requires considerable cooperation and discipline among authoring groups," says Maxwell Hoffmann, GPI's Director of Documentation Globalization. "GPI can now help companies with initial content analysis, goal setting, appropriate training on custom applications and localization workflows required for using DITA/XML."

GPI's DITA/XML Localization Services include:

• Document and content analysis
