Why should you learn how to use Controlled English when writing for global
audiences? Increasingly, documentation must be designed for two distinct but
related types of audiences--those reading the text in translation, and those
for whom English is a second language.

While many businesses still have their documentation translated, English is
quickly becoming the standard of our global village. But English is a
complex language to read, write, and understand. Using Controlled English
makes documents easier for non-native English speakers to understand, and
the more consistent, less ambiguous language also makes for less expensive
translations.

It is critical that technical documentation and training manuals clearly
convey meaning in fields with complex products and liability issues.

This audio conference explains how 1% of the English language is sufficient
to communicate with customers in 181 countries. It will also cover the steps
to implement Controlled English and its pitfalls and benefits for the
translation of technical documentation.

Attend this audio conference to learn:
* The basics of Controlled English
* How the "1% solution" impacts translations
* How a company and its customers can benefit from using Controlled English
* Real-world case studies on the use of Controlled English
