About the MultiLingual 2013 Resource Directory and Editorial Index 2012
Up Front
ur eleventh annual Index and Resource Directory showcases everything from the nonprots to the acronyms serving the globalization, internationalization, localization and translation industry. Every year, we present current data on language companies and services, and compile them into listings by category. Whether youre searching for a resource that can help you get started in the localization business, whether youre interested in continuing your linguistic education or whether youre looking for a tool vendor for your expanding internationalization needs, the contacts listed here should provide a good starting place. The Resource Directory containing all these line listings is marked by handy blue tabs in the outermost margins. Rebecca Ray and David Filip contribute to this edition with market ndings for 2013 and an alphabetical reader on localization standards, respectively. These articles are marked with red tabs. It is worth mentioning that some of the terminology referenced in Filips standards compilation is explained at greater length in the glossary that appears later in the issue. The annual Index, marked with gold tabs, presents a list of authors, titles and topics and even people mentioned in our news items, arranged in a single alphabet. All of the references are taken from the pages of 2012s MultiLingual magazines. Next, theres the list of industry-related acronyms and abbreviations, followed by the terminology glossary. We add to these year by year as new terms and concepts appear within our magazine or, as previously mentioned, within the Resource Directory itself. An index of advertisers appears at the end of the issue. The issue is available for free download at www.multilingual.com/resourceDirectory, which contains live links to the articles listed in the Index and to the companies listed in the Resource Directory.

Ten essential research findings for 2013

Rebecca Ray
he latest research from Common Sense Advisory shows that the language services market is recession-resistant and fast growing in most regions, with high prot margins. However, competitive pressure is erce. Here are some of the most signicant research ndings to bear in mind as language service providers (LSPs) prepare for the year ahead.
Fortune 500 companies that invest in translation report higher revenue. In spite of economic uncertainty, most Fortune 500 companies that we surveyed in 2012 increased their spend on translation. Businesses that did so were 1.5 times more likely than their peers to report an increase in total revenue. They reported customer service, branding and market share as their top drivers for translation.
corresponds to one-third of the total market. With hundreds of subsectors to serve, companies with an established offering for manufacturers, as well as those new to the vertical, can carve out signicant sources of revenue from manufacturing.
The number of required languages continues to climb

The average number of languages required by customers is rising. Global success now means reaching customers who speak languages such as Arabic, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese. Based on our annual review of 2,409 global websites, the worlds most prominent websites now have content in 15 languages. Our research also shows that it takes 12 languages to reach 80% of the worlds online audience and 21 languages to reach 90%.
Per-word prices for translation are on the decline

Despite the fact that translation demand is going up, our survey in 2012 of more than 3,700 LSPs and freelancers for 222 language pairs showed that pricing is heading down. The average per-word price for translation into and from the 30 most commonly used languages on the web has fallen over 30% since 2010. At the same time, we also found that some of the most popular individual language pairs, such as Spanish to English, have increased in price.
The market is big and getting bigger

Our latest global market study demonstrated that the global market for outsourced language services and technology was worth $33.52 billion in 2012. It is currently growing at an annual rate of more than 12%. However, for LSPs to harness this growth, they must understand which services are growing and where. The fastest-growing services include transcreation, internationalization and telephone interpreting. North America has cut its spending, while Asia has gained signicant ground, and Western and Northern Europe remain strong.
The majority of translated content is new

One of our recent studies found that 59% of content is brand new and does not benet from translation memory software. This means that approximately 40% of content destined for translation takes advantage of previous translations, but the majority of content is still being translated from scratch.
Manufacturing represents the largest single vertical

As one of our recent reports revealed, the manufacturing market was estimated at more than $11 billion in 2012, which
Translation productivity increases have remained flat over the last decade
There is a massive content backlog, but translation productivity rates have not risen to meet it. The longstanding industry benchmark for translator output is 2,500 words per day. One of Common Sense Advisorys recent reports, Translation Future Shock, revealed that individual translators on average now produce 2,684 words per day, while the average LSP reports a daily output of 43,546 words. The typical LSP processes 5,728 words per hour, and the typical freelancer 443 words.

Machine translation (MT) is now a mainstream activity

MT usage has increased to the point that it is now considered a regular component of the language service toolbox on both the demand and supply sides of the industry. In a survey that we conducted in 2012 with 438 respondents, more than half of the freelancer participants (55%) said they had used MT, while 44% of LSPs had done so. Rather than decreasing the demand for high-quality human translation, the widespread availability of online MT appears to be acting as a catalyst to generate more demand.
TEP is on its way out

Our latest research shows that translate-edit-proof (TEP) is no longer a mainstream process for providers, as pressure builds to deliver translated products and services faster with more frequent updates to local markets. This change has had a downward effect on price per word as more suppliers now quote linguistic verication as a service separately from the original translation. Just 42.5% of LSPs and freelancers reported including proofreading in their rates, and only 33.7% bundled editing into their pricing.
Translation has important ramifications for the world at large

Those who work in translation may not always stop to think about the fact that translation can save peoples lives, improve political inclusion and prevent violent conict. A study that we conducted in 2012 for Translators without Borders, The Need for Translation in Africa, conrmed that translation is
The top ten global industries for language services. Source: Common Sense Advisory
critical for the public health, political stability and social well-being of African nations. These two ndings say it all: nearly 95% of respondents reported that greater access to translated information
would have a positive impact on collective health, and 63% believed that such access could have prevented the death of someone in their family or circle of friends. M

Localization standards Reader

David Filip
his Reader does not purport to address everything around standards. Instead, it looks at standards that affect multilingual transformations of content and at technical standards targeting actual technical interoperability.
BCP 14 (also known as RFC 2119)
Short Description: BCP stands for Best Current Practice. BCP 14 denes the standardization specic meaning of normative keywords such as must, must not, optional, required, recommended and so on. RFC stands for Request for Comments, and these are numbered sequentially. RFC 2119 is the most common normative reference in other specications throughout information technology standardization bodies. Localization-related standards such as ITS and XLIFF are using the BCP 14 keywords to make their normative statements that create the basis of conformance statements, testing and verication. Owner: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), a nonmembership standardization body. Contributors are individuals who implicitly commit themselves by contributing without signing any formal contract. IETF creates internet-related technical standards, protocols, processes and non-normative informational content. IETF is backed by the Internet Society. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Mode: Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (RAND), an IPR mode that allows owners charging for use of essential patents, provided that the charge is reasonable and non-discriminatory. Current version and work in progress: BCP 14 was released for unlimited distribution in March 1997. It is extremely undesirable to change this because so many normative texts across IETF, W3C, OASIS and so on depend on the meaning of the normative keywords as set out here.
Owner: IETF. IPR Mode: RAND. Current version and work in progress: RFC 5646 was released for unlimited distribution in September 2009. BCP 47 is a persistent name that always points to the latest release, no matter what the current RFC number. BCP 47 itself is stable, which is important for backwards compatibility. New tags are being continuously registered via registration authorities specied in the standard. Most current developments are connected to BCP 47 extensions.
BCP 47 Extension T: Transformed Content

Short Description: Extension T is possible via the extensibility mechanism defined in BCP 47 (RFC 5646) itself. Extension T has normative status within the Unicode Consortium, as it is being maintained as part of CLDR (see next page), which is its major normative deliverable. This extension allows for additional tags specifying from which other language, locale or script the content at hand had been transformed. Extension T is not recommended for usage in structured environments such as XML, where this type of metadata can be specified using markup solutions rather than a single text field. Note that Extension T is appending the information about the originating language or locale with a leading t, which means that the BCP tag starts with the target locale and the source locale is appended. This makes sense given the structure of BCP 47 tags, but may be perceived as contrary to the customary listing order of source and target languages, so EN-t-IT, for example, actually means that the tagged content is English but was transformed from Italian, not the other way around. Owner: IETF, Unicode Consortium. IPR Mode: RAND. David Filip is the liaison ofcer, secretary and editor of the XLIFF technical committee; cochair of W3C MultilingualWeb-LT; XLIFF liaison at ULI; and TAUS Standards Advisory Board member. This Reader represents his expert opinion and does not represent the position of any standardization body.
BCP 47: Tags for Identifying Languages

Short Description: BCP 47 is a normative IETF track that compiles recommendations on how to create a unique language tag from codes dened in several other normative sources, including ISO codes. It is frequently referenced by OASIS, Unicode and W3C standards.
| 39
Current version and work in progress: Informational RFC 6497, published in February 2012. Extension T is regularly maintained as part of the CLDR release cycle.
BCP 47 Extension U: Unicode Locale Extension for BCP 47

Short Description: Extension U is possible via the extensibility mechanism dened in BCP 47 (RFC 5646) itself. It has normative status within the Unicode Consortium as it is being maintained as part of CLDR. Owner: IETF, Unicode Consortium. IPR Mode: RAND. Current version and work in progress: Informational RFC 6067 was published in December 2010 and is maintained by the Unicode Consortium as part of CLDR. Extension U is regularly maintained as part of the CLDR release cycle. Short Description: Unicode Common Locale Data Repository, http://cldr.unicode.org, is a standard repository of internationalization building blocks, such as date, time and currency formats, sorting (collation) rules and so on. CLDR is not a standard in a classical sense. It is, as the name suggests, a repository that is being constantly updated and released on a rolling basis following its data release process. Owner: Unicode Consortium. IPR Mode: RAND. Current version and work in progress: 22.1 was released on October 26, 2012. Version 23 is to be released on March 15, 2013. The submission period for version 24 will start on February 1, 2013 and its release is currently planned for September 15, 2013.
CLDR
IPR Mode: Royalty Free (RF), an IPR mode that mandates and guarantees royalty free use of essential patents in order to implement a standard. Current version and work in progress: The current version is 1.0. The new major version 2.0 has been in the last call stage in W3C since December 6, 2012, which means that stakeholders from the public can comment and ask the Working Group to make changes. The MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group has been chartered until the end of 2013, and accordingly ITS 2.0 is scheduled to become W3C Recommendation (the nal W3C standard) by the end of 2013. A task force of joint members of MultilingualWeb-LT and the XLIFF technical committee (TC) is working on a best practice for ITS 2.0 to XLIFF 1.2 and XLIFF 2.0 mapping. ITS 2.0 module and prole support is planned for XLIFF 2.1.
Open Lexicon Interchange Format (OLIF)

Short Description: OLIF is a stable and relatively widely used lexicon interchange format. It has a rich metadata structure and allows for the exchange of complex lexicon entries for various purposes, such as terminology management and MT. OLIF had been designed for use in both monolingual and multilingual context via cross-linking of mono elements. Owner: OLIF Consortium, an ad hoc industry consortium driven by SAP and set up in 2000. IPR Mode: Unclear. The specications and schemas are available for free, but no IPR mode seems to have been specied. Current version and work in progress: Version 2.1 is current. Version 3 has been in Beta since 2008; no current work seems to be under way.
Internationalization Tag Set (ITS)

Short Description: ITS 1.0 contains denitions of seven metadata categories primarily designed for internationalization of XML content. As abstract data categories, ITS can also be implemented in non-XML environments. ITS 2.0 normatively species usage of old and new ITS data categories for XML and HTML 5 content. The current ITS1.0 data categories are Translate (ag); Localization Note (for alerts, hints, instructions); Terminology (to identify terms and optionally provide pointers); Directionality (manages left to right/right to left display behaviors of content portions); Ruby (for East Asian specic annotations), Language (Identier); and Elements within Text (to encode segmentation). Several new data categories have been specied for 2.0. Owners of ITS decorated content want their internationalization and localization related metadata to inform the roundtrip and return in a meaningfully processed state that allows for drilling down into the process and for reconstructing the audit trail. Localization workow managers should pay attention to information ows directed by the ITS data categories introduced by their customers up in the tool chain. Owner: MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) ITS Interest Group has been the informal maintainer of ITS 1.0 after the original Working Group mandate expired. However, it has never been entitled to make normative changes to the specication. A new Working Group had to be formed to commence work on the successor standard.
TermBase eXchange (TBX)

Short Description: TBX is a family of XML-based terminology markup languages that should allow for lossless exchange of terminology-related data and metadata. One of the more lightweight versions known as TBX Basic is translation oriented, and should readily facilitate terminology exchange during the translation process. However, TBX can be considered technically incomplete as it does not provide its own XML schema that could be used for validation. Moreover, TBX has been criticized for industry disconnect, for being too heavy on one hand and being too restrictive and not very well suitable for MT training on the other. One of the reasons might be that TBX is supposed to be a representation and exchange format for terminology, but it has been struggling to dene a minimum set of terminology metadata suitable for practical interchange in localization context. Owner: ETSI ISG LIS, an industry specication group that was formed in the spring of 2011 within ETSI to take over the LISA OSCAR standards portfolio, including related LISA intellectual property. ISO TC 37 was a copublisher with LISA. IPR Mode: RF in the LISA published versions; Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (FRAND) within ETSI; and RAND within ISO. Current version and work in progress: 2.0, ISO 30042:2008 is the current version. Based on a published executive summary from November 2011, ETSI ISG LIS scheduled common work on
40
the standard in a joint meeting with ISO TC 37 in Madrid in June 2012. Preparation of a liaison and copublication plan should be in progress within ETSI ISG LIS. According to insiders, a Memorandum of Understanding was not formulated in Madrid.
for March 2012. This meeting happened behind closed doors. There are or should be dependencies with ULI, the Unicode Localization Interoperability TC see UAX #29.
Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (UAX #9)

Short Description: Default text ow of Arabic and Hebrew scripts is right to left. However, text written in these scripts often contains portions with left-to-right directionality, such as names of companies or products. That is why such text is called bidirectional (bidi). Many characters have strong directionality properties, but there are also characters with weak directionality behavior and neutral characters whose directionality depends on context. In practice, normally invisible control characters (markers) need to be used in order to encode bidi in plain text. Simply said, UAX #9 is a detailed normative account of Unicode bidi behavior (mainly) in plain text. In theory, the characters that the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm makes use of to explicitly set text ow direction should not be used within markup context. Instead, the bidirectional ow control characters should be replaced with appropriate markup controlling the text ow. In practice, many tools ignore directionality markup and apply UAX #9 in full (including the control characters) even in structured and markup environments. Owner: Unicode Consortium. IPR Mode: RAND. Current version and work in progress: Revision 27 was released on September 10, 2012. UAX #9 is being constantly revised to be up to date with the Current Unicode release, and www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/ links to the current ofcial version.
Translation Memory eXchange (TMX)

Short Description: TMX has been arguably the most important and most widely implemented localization standard format. TMX is a simple XML vocabulary that was designed to preserve lossless translation memory (TM) exchange. However, several obstacles prevented TMX from reaching the set goal. Level 1 implementations are too low a common denominator to actually secure lossless interoperability, because of segmentation differences (that should in theory be addressed by SRX) and because of absence of inline markup on level 1. Level 2 stipulates lossless exchange of native inline codes that are however ignored by many tools and encoded as abstract placeholders. TMX is now far behind industry developments, but it will continue to be important for some time as a legacy format, mainly for collecting MT training corpora from legacy tools and repositories. Owner: ETSI ISG LIS. IPR Mode: RF in the LISA published versions, and FRAND. Current version and work in progress: 1.4b is the current version. Based on the published executive summary from November 2011, ETSI ISG LIS wishes to coordinate TMX 2.0 development with XLIFF 2.0 denition of inline markup codes.
Segmentation Rules eXchange (SRX)

Short Description: SRX is an XML vocabulary that facilitates the exchange of segmentation rules between TMX compliant systems. SRXs relationship to Unicode is not a transparent one, and SRX can be considered incomplete from the engineering point of view. However, its proclaimed goal was not to provide a set of segmentation rules for a number of languages, but rather to provide a mechanism to exchange the rules to improve TMX interoperability. TMX often fails to guarantee its targeted lossless transfer of TM data due to segmentation differences, chief among other issues. The current SRX incarnation works on a closed world assumption, meaning it recreates (and adapts) UAX #29 rules. UAX #29 is referenced and its study encouraged but the relationship is currently not a maintainable linkage. Based on latest news from ETSI ISG LIS insiders, the developments of SRX in 2012 have not led closer to UAX #29 linkage. Interestingly, the SRX 1.0 specication contains an unintended ambiguity on precedence and cascading language rules that lead to differing and (as a result) noninteroperable implementations in computer-aided translation tools. SRX 2.0 resolves this issue by controlling it as an option. Owner: ETSI ISG LIS and ISO TC 37/SC 4. The status of coownership is unclear, as there was no joint publication up to date either with LISA or with ETSI ISG LIS, and also no memorandum of understanding between the groups has been published so far. IPR Mode: FRAND. Current version and work in progress: Version 2.0 was released by LISA OSCAR on April 7, 2008, and copublication with ISO is pending. Based on the published executive summary from November 2011, ETSI ISG LIS scheduled an SRX meeting
Unicode Text Segmentation (UAX #29)

Short Description: Unicode Standard Annexes (UAX) are persistent names that always point to the actual revision number. UAX #29 is the key normative source of segmentation rules. Apart from sentence boundaries, which are most relevant for computer-aided translation tools interoperability, it denes more basic grapheme cluster and word boundaries. The segmentation rules are given in more or less natural language as an inductive succession of rules. The specication states itself that the same set of rules can be given using regular expressions. Unfortunately, no nite set of regular expression-based rules can ensure 100% successful sentence segmentation of English text, the main reason being the semantic ambiguity of the full stop. Apart from closing sentences, the same character is being used for closing abbreviations, decimal points and so on. Interestingly, in Hebrew this problem virtually does not exist, as Hebrew does not overload the full stop with abbreviation function. Although UAX #29 cannot possibly achieve completeness, it is still benecial to implement it as the basic set of rules, and apply more ne-grained exception rules on top of it. The UAX #29 default behavior should be improved hopefully within 2013 as a result of the ULI TC effort. Owner: Unicode Consortium. IPR Mode: RAND. Current version and work in progress: Revision 21 was released for Unicode 6.2.0 on September 12, 2012. Some of the future versions in 2013 could be updated as a result of ULI

reviewing sentence boundary rules in production environments in several major languages. www.unicode.org/reports/tr29 always links to the current ofcial version.
Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML or UTS #35)

Short Description: This species an XML vocabulary for encoding locale specic generic data categories dates, amounts, decimals, units of measure, currency symbols and so on. Its main purpose is to enable the creation and maintenance of CLDR but is also used directly in programming frameworks such as .NET. Owner: Unicode Consortium. IPR Mode: RAND. Current version and work in progress: Version 22.1, Revision 29, was released on October 18, 2012. Work is being done on version 23, Revision 30, with collation related changes.
Unicode Standard
Short Description: Unicode is the core standard that allows humanity to encode all written human languages for computer use. Thousands of characters covering alphabetic, syllabic and ideographic scripts are ordered in planes along with punctuation, control and private use characters. The Unicode standard has been published since October 1991 and reached its sixth major version in October 2010. Owner: Unicode Consortium. IPR Mode: RAND. Current version and work in progress: Unicode 6.2.0 is current. Individual characters, character groups and whole new scripts continue to be added as per worldwide communities requirements. A series of minor revisions is to be expected within the next couple of years. www.unicode.org/versions/latest links to the current ofcial version.
XLIFF
Short Description: XLIFF is an open bitext format standard and a powerful expressive XML vocabulary that facilitates endto-end localization process automation. Apart from core structural elements, it has inline markup and segmentation encoding mechanisms, allows for generic le skeleton inclusion or referencing, fuzzy matching and glossary elements, project, tool, and status metadata. Arguably only core structural elements implementations are currently mature enough to facilitate plug and play interoperability among competing tools, but there is potential for widening the interoperable core and achieving next level of interoperability with the major 2.0 version that is the current work in progress in the XLIFF TC. XLIFF 2.0 is a major localization standardization effort with wide and varied representation of the industry. Owner: OASIS XLIFF TC. IPR Mode: RF on RAND. Current version and work in progress: Version 1.2 was published as an OASIS standard in February 2008. The 2.0. Committee Specication should be exposed for public review within the rst quarter of 2013. The current editors draft is available at https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/xliff/ trunk/xliff-20/xliff-core.pdf.
Unicode in XML and other Markup Languages (UTR #20)

Short Description: Unicode Technical Reports (UTR) are persistent names that always point to the actual revision. Unicode, as its main target is plain text, contains many control, formatting and other characters. This document gives a normative overview and general guidelines of which characters should and should not be used in markup context. In general, any Unicode character that is XML illegal or would require additional metadata for interpretation should come with a markup handling/replacement recommendation, or processing requirement. Authoring tools, XML editors and browsers are generally encouraged to ignore inappropriate or deprecated Unicode characters, so their preservation on crossing of plain text/markup boundary will often lead to harmful loss of data or metadata. In general, plain text is linear and requires special control characters or specic application behavior to encode metadata and/or styling information that can be handled with structured mark-up in XML or HTML environments. Owner: Unicode Consortium and W3C (Internationalization Core Working Group). IPR Mode: RAND (Unicode) and RF (W3C). Current version and work in progress: Revision 8 (Unicode) was released as a W3C Working Group Note on May 16, 2007. It will need to be republished for HTML 5, most probably with minor changes.
xml:tm
Short Description: xml:tm is a namespace application, which means it is not designed to form independent documents that could exist on its own. Instead, it is designed to be injected as a relatively heavy explicit internationalization apparatus into any well-formed XML document containing human readable language. Unfortunately, it is hardly possible to call this specication a standard due to a very low number of implementations two, to be exact. The standard is being pushed by only one company without wider industry consensus. It was developed by XTMs Andrzej Zydro and donated to LISA, which published it as an OSCAR standard in early 2007. Its failure to become an actual standard should be a memento of the importance of broad consensus building while creating industry standards. Owner: ETSI ISG LIS. IPR Mode: RF in LISA published versions and FRAND. Current version and work in progress: Zydro has exposed the 2.0 version for public comment on XTM Internationals web page. Its ETSI status is unclear from publicly available sources. The last version by LISA, 1.0, was released on February 26, 2007. M
Unicode Regular Expressions (UTS #18)

Short Description: Unicode Technical Standards (UTS) are persistent names that always point to the actual revision. UTS #18 gives general guidelines for regular expression engines how to comply with Unicode standard. Three levels are specied, of which two are default (one the minimum feasible for programmers, the other more end-user friendly) and the nest is language specic. Owner: Unicode Consortium. IPR Mode: RAND. Current version and work in progress: Revision 15 was released on July 17, 2012. www.unicode.org/reports/tr18 always points to the current ofcial version.
