GLOBALIZE ZIMBRA
The GeoFluent integration into Zimbra’s social community platform increases participation by translating user generated
content into the preferred language of every community participant, and allowing individuals to search for and find content
using their preferred language, regardless of the original language of the posts.
MULTILINGUAL FORUMS, BLOGS & WIKIS
Before GeoFluent real-time translation, community applications such as forums, blogs and wikis were only open to participants who spoke the same language, and content was diluted by either having multiple redundant communities in multiple languages or by simply not having communities for non-English speaking customers. By adding GeoFluent to your Zimbra community, language-specific communities can be eliminated, site traffic and participation will increase, questions will be answered more quickly, and support costs will decrease, resulting in more satisfied and loyal customers.
MULTILINGUAL AVAILABILITY OF CONTENT VIA SEARCH ENGINES
GeoFluent makes all of your site content available to search engines like Google and Bing for indexing, no matter what
language it was posted in. This means that the content in your communities will be relevant and match search terms in every
language. That’s organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO), resulting in more traffic and higher rankings for your site in every
language.
For example, let’s say a Spanish-speaking customer is having technical issues, so she or he goes to Google to search for an
answer by typing "Acme browser crashes" in Spanish ("navegador de Acme se bloquea").
GEOFLUENT LANGUAGE QUALITYIMPROVEMENTS
Because automatic translation has traditionally been a “one size fits all” solution, it has often fallen short in terms of linguistic
quality. GeoFluent, on the other hand, provides you a set of tools that allow you to control how you want certain content
translated. This means that everything from your brand to your specialized terminology is correctly maintained in every
language.

ABOUTLIONBRIDGE
It does this by using customized glossaries of your branding and
other sensitive terminology to make sure that your brand identity is
preserved in every language. GeoFluent can even leverage your
existing translated assets, such as translation memories, to ensure
consistency with your current localized content. GeoFluent also
protects sensitive data from being exposed to 3rd party machine
translation engines via sequestration of data such as credit card
numbers and addresses. GeoFluent also improves translations by
normalizing the type of language often found in chat and
forums—everything from chat shorthand to slang to common typos.
By normalizing these types of problems to a standard input,
GeoFluent maximizes the quality of the translated output.
