SDL International, (London Stock Exchange:'SDL'), one of the largest providers of multilingual management solutions in the world, today announced the launch of www.Click2Translate.com, their new online translation site.

 Click2Translate offers the most diverse range of translation services available on the Internet today, providing a secure, fast and economical way to obtain quality translations online. Click2Translate is the only site that offers 3 levels of translation service: Professional human translation, Edited translation and Automatic computer-generated translations. These offer customers the opportunity to obtain the appropriate level of translation according to their desired quality and budget.

Click2Translate offers over 90 language combinations across its three service levels. SDL believe that the site is one of the easiest sites to navigate, with information icons available throughout the order process.  Additionally, there is a Free Call back and Free Estimate request service, features not available on other sites.

Click2Translate provided customer Life Plus International with translation services for their corporate website. Robert Neitz, International Business Director comments: "SDL Agency has provided Life Plus International with fast, accurate translation of documents, spanning the spectrum of international business."

Click2Translate's workflow is managed by 'SDL Agency', which was formed to provide fast turnaround translation and multilingual electronic publishing. The division consists of an integrated group of Project Managers, Translators, Engineers and DTP/graphics personnel.

Rachael Allan, Divisional director of SDL Agency comments, "The main objective was to create a user-friendly interface.  The original service was essentially designed for an American audience; we wanted a site that could be used by the rest of the world too.  Now our customers can choose to be billed in one of three currencies; Sterling, US Dollars or Euros. This feature makes Click2Translate unique in today's online translation marketplace. The site also boasts a 'flat rate' charging model, so there are no hidden costs or additional fees.  Most of the changes were inspired by feedback from our existing customers. The site now caters for a diverse range of customers."

Click2Translate.com also takes pride in offering the most competitive prices for its Premium service level and rates that start at "a cent a word" for its base, real-time translation service-level.
