NEW YORK - Tuesday, July 23rd 2013 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE) TransPerfect, the world’s largest privately held provider of language services and translation-related technologies, today announced that it will provide website localization services and technology for Cleartrip, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) leading online travel agent. The company will use TransPerfect’s language services and GlobalLink OneLink technology to support its expansion efforts targeting Arabic-speaking travelers, a segment in which several travel industry experts, including Euromonitor, IHS Research, and the World Travel Organization, predict a significant increase in business travel in 2013.
Cleartrip already serves several countries with significant Arabic-speaking populations and expects to see an uptick in travel activity throughout the region. In advance of its expansion, Cleartrip recognized a need to provide in-language information for these audiences. Specifically designed to help companies rapidly and cost-effectively launch global websites, TransPerfect’s GlobalLink OneLink detects changes to Cleartrip’s English website, routes them for translation, and then re-inserts completed translations automatically.
According to Tarique Khatri, Senior Vice President of Business Development for Cleartrip, "The Middle East traveler is evolved, discerning, and ever ready to embrace new technology. Our strategy is to ensure that our performance, expansion, and services match this growth. Partnering with the global best, we’re confident that TransPerfect’s GlobalLink OneLink will help us achieve this by creating a painstakingly localized site in Arabic. We’re eager to showcase throughout the region our ability to make travel simple, with comprehensive content, innovative technology, responsive customer service, and a travel platform that strives to just work better.”
