MAIDENHEAD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SDL, a leader in global content creation, management, translation and delivery, has partnered with the Exporting Is GREAT campaign to provide translation services. The campaign, launched by the Department for International Trade (DIT), has been established to inspire small and mid-market UK businesses to go global.
The partnership builds on SDL’s existing relationship with DIT’s predecessors, UK Trade & and Investment(UKTI), who facilitated the company’s growth from a small UK company in Maidenhead, to a global enterprise with 55 offices in over 38 countries and 3,000 employees.
SDL will optimize DIT’s capabilities to fuel global growth by working with Exporting Is GREAT to educate and guide businesses in reaching overseas customers online. SDL’s Market Reach Calculator empowers businesses to discover the most effective strategy for their next export opportunity by analyzing content and translation methods to find the best ways to communicate with audiences across the globe.
